Parents of Shamrin Aktar Shanta, a 17 year old girl suffering from brain cancer which developed from a brain tumor 10 years ago, sought financial assistance for the treatment of their only daughter.

Shanta was operated twice by the country's physicians from 2001 to 2006. She was taken to Christian Medical College, Vellore in India in 2006 where the doctors operated on the tumor. But she failed to fully recover, leading to brain cancer.

Her condition has now worsened as she has frequent convulsions during the day when she loses consciousness.

Doctors suggested her father Khandakar Md Matlubur Rahman Shamim, a small trader, to take Shanta to Singapore or Bangkok for better treatment which will costTkl4tol51akh.
