The Heart of the Family

My mom is Srabanti Munshi. She is without doubt the best mom in the world. My mom got a scholarship to the one of teh best schools in London. Its called LSE(London School of Economics). She got several degrees and then came to the USA,seeking a better future for us kids.However, our mom has been diagnosed with end stage renal disease. This caused both of her kidneys to fail. She is currently on dialysis for eight years now. She is still doing dialysis and she is not able tolerate it any longer. She goes to dialysis 3x a week or even more for extra treatments and four hours a day. Mom does everything to keep the family running. She is the strongest woman I ever saw or heard of. There is no way to describe how she runs herself and she will do anything for us. She made so many life sacrifices just to get us on this planet. She is the most kind-hearted person in the world. She is the heart and soul of the family. The doctors told say the only solution is to receive a kidney transplant as soon as possible. Yes, there is a waiting list but my mom will have to wait another five years at minimum to find a donor. I am afraid that will be too late by the time that happens. Furthermore, we have a grieving dad that can’t imagine a day without our mom. My dad is Ashraf Bhuiyan.   Silent tears fall out of our eyes as we watch our mom deteriorate without being able to do anything.

    May Allah bless your mom and your entire family. Your mom was definitely an outstanding person and we all knew that since we were 5 years old. No son can ever imagine the trauma you are going through. Keep the prayers up and keep the hope up. Inshallah, your mother will regain her health. This is just a test you are going through.

    Best Wishes:
    Tasmeea Aunty
