This man needs help

26 year old Kanwarjeet Singh Bhullar needs Bone Marrow transplant in order to survive Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Kanwarjeet was born in Amritsar, Punjab (India) on 30-oct-1981 to Lakhwinder Kaur and Gursharan Singh. He completed his preliminary education from Shri Guru Harkrishan Sr. Secondary Public School and Khalsa College, Amritsar before graduating from Shaheed Udham Singh College Of Engineering & Technology, Mohali(2000-2004) with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Kanwarjeet then went to Central Queensland University, Australia to pursue Masters Degree in Accounting (2005-2006). It was during his visit to India in year 2006, to get married, he fell ill. All his tests were done but nothing was diagnosed. He then suddenly lost a lot of weight without any reason. His blood tests were done again with a bone marrow aspiration and on August 6^th, 2007 he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), also known as BLOOD CANCER in common man’s language.

He has since been given 3 chemotherapies but there was not much effect on cancer cells so his doctor advised that he must undergo Bone Marrow Transplant. Unfortunately his bone marrow did not match with any of the immediate family members. He now needs to undergo Matched Unrelated Donor Therapy, facility currently unavailable in India. He has to come to America for treatment. Since he is not insured and is not American citizen he will have to pay everything upfront. The cost of treatment is estimated to be $500,000.

His family has been very supportive but it is hard for them to arrange such a huge amount of money for their son’s treatment which might even go higher depending on his condition. As of now Kanwarjeet and his family are helpless. He is isolated from rest of the world being restricted to his room because of his poor resistance to infections. Only his wife goes in and out of his room and that also with great precautions. No one is allowed to meet him and he just sits in his room all day long by himself.

It is hard to imagine what is going through his mind. We are talking about a 26 year old, who has much ahead and with blessing of god and all of you we can make his dreams true and help him lead a healthy life. We as Kanwarjeet’s family and friends want to raise money for his treatment. We don’t want to leave any stone unturned. We have talked to many charities and companies for donations. We will really appreciate your help. If you have any other question please feel free to contact us.
