Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
I pray this finds you all in good health.
For those that do not know, Sr. Huda Khalife of our community, daughter of Umm Abdallah (Sr. Faiza Khalife) and wife of Seyfullah Kaysadu, has been diagnosed with Leukemia. Huda is a 25 year old sister who has served our community extensively. As a native Arizonan Huda and her family have been integral to the betterment of our community. In March 2023, she was diagnosed with a rare and unusual form of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), which has significantly altered her life.
Finding a bone marrow match is crucial to Huda’s recovery. As a person with mixed ancestry, it is harder for her to find a bone marrow match, which is why we encourage anyone who is eligible to apply to be a match. We are working with the National donor registry Be The Match to put on tabling events in order to get people registered as donors to find the best match possible. If you are not a match for Huda, she hopes that you will register in good faith to help any others on the registry if the need arises.
Note : Bone marrow donors must be under 41 years of age.
