Waheedullah’s Struggle with Leukemia and PovertyWaheedullah, a 40-year-old father and gas factory worker from Kabul, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in August 2024. Months of severe pain and swelling led to the life-changing diagnosis. Forced to leave his job—the only income for his family - Waheedullah fell into financial crisis, relying on loans to afford chemotherapy at Jinnah Hospital. Though he continues treatment, limited resources and lack of specialized care leave him and many others fighting cancer with little support and growing uncertainty. |

Rohullah’s Fight Against Childhood Lung CancerI am Rohullah I’m 7 years old and a student. One day, I got very sick with a fever and stomach pain. My dad gave me medicine, but I didn’t get better. We went to many hospitals, but nothing worked until we reached the Emergency Hospital. They found something in my lungs and sent us to Kabul. In Kabul, doctors did laser surgery and found I had cancer. I had more surgeries and now I’m getting vaccine shots. I’ve had four doses, and I feel better now. My dad sold our land and is still borrowing money to help me get well. |

Muhammad’s Recovery After Misdiagnosis and Blood LossI am Muhammad and I am 17years old: It all started When I first got sick, I went to the doctor in my village. The doctor didn’t make an accurate diagnosis and gave me some medicine, but I didn’t get better. So, I went to Kabul and visited Aqsa Hospital. I spent one night there, and they told me to go to Ali Jinnah Hospital. I came here, and today is my fifth day in the hospital. I have already received seven packs of blood. Thank God, I am now feeling better, and the pain has decreased. |

Salaam, my name is Hayatullah HashemiI am an Afghan entrepreneur living in Europe. Like many others, I’ve witnessed the pain and loss caused by inadequate healthcare in Afghanistan. During Hajj, I prayed deeply for the creation of a cancer hospital in our country. When I heard about the Afghan Medical Complex (AMC), I truly felt that my prayers had been answered. I donated €75,000 and proudly joined the Atta Welfare Foundation to mobilize Afghan communities across Europe in support of this life-saving initiative. For me, AMC is a national cause—one of unity, compassion, and hope—and I am fully committed to its success and sustainability. |

My name is Hajji MirSaeed DekghanA businessman based in Holland. I was diagnosed with cancer and experienced the physical pain, emotional distress, and psychological trauma that come with it. Despite receiving excellent care, it was an incredibly difficult journey. I couldn’t stop thinking about cancer patients in Afghanistan—how do they cope without access to proper treatment? I made a promise to donate if I recovered. After learning about the Afghan Medical Complex (AMC), I contributed an initial $125,000 and pledged the remaining amount of my $500,000 commitment as the project progresses. This cause is deeply personal to me. |

Hajji Dr. FaizullahAs a father, I’ve always believed in giving back to the land that raised me. When my son Attaullah shared his vision of establishing Afghanistan’s first dedicated cancer hospital, I felt a deep duty to support it—not only as a father, but as an Afghan. Too many lives have been lost in silence. It’s time we offered our people a fighting chance, close to home. That’s why I contributed $100,000 to the Afghan Medical Complex. This project is a lifeline, a symbol of hope, and a legacy for future generations. True giving comes from the heart. |
