I approach you with a heavy heart asking for your help during an improbable tough time for a family very close and dear to me.Jennis is 14 year old and she is from Gampaha, Sri Lanka. She is studying at Yashodara Devi Balika Vidyalaya, Gampaha, Sri Lanka. 

Unfortunately she has diagnosed with a Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a rare cancer of the blood that affects young children after some preliminary investigations done by Dr. Lallindra Gonaratna at Asiri Central, Srilanka in February 2024. Currently, she is admitted to the Apollo Hospital, Chennai and all the treatments have executed (including chemotherapy) under the guidance of Dr. Revathi Raj. The goal is to perform a born marrow transplant there.

The suddenness of this catastrophe has left Jennis's family, and all of us who love her, grappling with the profound sense of helplessness. Being thousands of miles away has only intensified our anxiety and desire to do something-anything-to aid in her recovery.

The costs £40,000 associated with Jennis's medical care is staggering. In this hour of dire need, we turn to you, our community, friends and kind-hearted strangers, to help attenuate financial burden on Jennis's family. By contributing to this fund, you are offering more than financial support, you are giving hope, love and the invaluable peace of mind that comes from knowing we are not alone in our fight to bring Jennis home.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. It means one less worry for a family consumed by their daughter's fight for life. It means the focus can remain where it needs to be - on Jennis's recover and the long journey ahead.

Please join us in supporting Jennis and her family during this critical time. Share this campaign with your networks and keep Jennis in your thoughts and prayers. Together, we can help bring this beautiful soul back home, where she belongs, surrounded by those who love her most.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity and support. Let's bring Jennis home.
