Grief filled the hospital room as a mother cradled her child’s lifeless body. 7-year-old Anis Sofia Shakira had just taken her final breath after a long, painful battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Her suffering may be over, but her parents now face another heartbreak.

Anis’s life changed the moment she was diagnosed. She could no longer run or play like other children. Her body grew weak—bruises, fevers, and fatigue became her new normal. Most days were spent in the hospital, clinging to medication and painful chemotherapy. Yet through it all, Anis kept smiling—especially when her mother fed her or read her bedtime stories.

Her parents did everything to save her. They went from one hospital to another, sold jewelry, borrowed money, and sought help from relatives—just to give Anis a fighting chance. But Allah had other plans.

After her passing, another trial remains: a massive unpaid hospital bill of $50,000. Already living in hardship, her parents are now overwhelmed. They’re grieving, exhausted, and lost. They never wanted to ask for help, but they’ve run out of options.

This is our chance to ease their burden. Anis may no longer be with us, but we can still honor her memory by standing with her parents in this time of sorrow. Any contribution—no matter how small—can make a world of difference.

Let’s lift this burden, together.
