Asim Azhar helping out a fan in need shows the dude truly has a heart of gold
Osama Ahmed, a young resident from Karachi tweeted out a plea for help; he was crowd sourcing funds for his grandmother’s cancer treatment. He asked people to contact him for any kind of information regarding the circumstances. The tweet got several retweets and soon, Osama was contacted by Asim Azhar.
Asim Azhar helped out this fan in Karachi by paying for the fan’s grandmother’s cancer treatment
Osama said he was always a fan of the singer but after this incident his respect for the performer has multiplied several times over!
Asim Azhar saw Osama’s tweet and sent him his number in his DM, promising to help. While talking to MangoBaaz, Osama shared that he talked to Asim on the phone, and Asim asked him a few questions to confirm his need for his grandmother’s treatment and the rest was history!
Asim kept his promise and helped Osama and his family out.
Osama – just dm’d you my number. Koi fikar ki baat nahi. InshaAllah sab hojayega. https://t.co/xBryuAfEPs

Osama was incredibly thankful about the whole thing and deleted his tweet with the appeal for the crowd funding.
As for his family, Osama said that they were middle class folks and his maternal grandmother’s sickness came as a surprise to all of them and they were completely unprepared for such an expense which is why he was led to seek help from the internet.
Osama said that his relationship with his grandmother was strained and they had not met for while. However, his mother and aunt decided to pay her a visit only to find that her health was deteriorating quite fast. They immediately took her to a hospital and her diagnosis was scary; throat cancer.
The family immediately got her admitted to a hospital and her treatment had begun. However, they didn’t know where they would get the money to pay their bills. But Osama had a solution. He said earlier when his mother had been diagnosed and was undergoing treatment for breast cancer, he had crowd funded some of her expenses successfully and decided to try his luck again.
This time, thankfully, Asim Azhar saw his tweet and immediately took care of the entire thing without Osama having to worry for too long!
Osama said he would continue to update everyone, including Asim Azhar, of course, about his grandmother’s condition.
Honestly, while Asim Azhar probably did this out of the goodness of his heart for a fan in need, Osama thanked the singer publicly

And keeping his promise, Osama has been diligently updating everyone about his grandmother’s treatment plan
update: AKUH refused to take my nani's case. their excuse is that they don't have space in their department.
so that's that.
now then, we'll be taking her to Indus Hospital after one biopsy. which will probably be conducted in Ziauddin Hospital, same place where CTscan was done
