The Rehma Fund for Children has been established in memory of Rehma Sabir, our beautiful, joyful daughter, who passed away days after her first birthday in January 2013.
The Fund’s mission is to Equalize Access to Healthcare for All Children, Everywhere.
It is impossible to describe the heartbreak of losing one’s child. During the difficult time spent in the hospital by Rehma’s bedside, we experienced first hand what a difference a high quality healthcare environment made to our daughter, and eventually to us when it came time to say goodbye.
We believe that high quality healthcare should be a right, not a privilege, for every child.
The word ‘Rehma’ means Mercy in Arabic. Rehma was, and continues to be, a mercy and blessing in our lives. We hope this fund will provide children the opportunity to continue to love, smile, laugh and spread mercy as Rehma did.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and support,
Nada Siddiqui & Sameer Sabir
