Mussarat is my eldest sister who is terminally ill with cancer. She has started a desperate appeal to raise funds to pay for private treatment which is not available to her on the NHS. The treatment will cost thousands of pounds.

As a family we have already lost our father and two of our brothers all of whom passed away before their time. Our mother is also of ill health and wouldn't be able to deal with another loss of a child. We do not want to lose our sister.

I know that everyone's lifeline comes to an end but if we can help to prolong a life then we must do all we can to try. I ask all who reads this to help my sister on her way to a longer life. Please find it in your hearts to give what you can. No donation is too small. God bless you all.
