6 years old Zach fought leukemia but died due to infection
6 years old Zach could successfully fight leukemia but died due to an infection a few days after his birthday. The brave little boy was able to overcome challenges with a smile that gave immense courage to his parents. Zach’s mother, 36 years old, said that his son was slowly fighting the cancer infection when another infected struck him down. This took away the chance of survival of the little life as reported by sources.
At a tender age of two, the little boy was found to suffer from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Following this, he had to undergo three and a half years of chemotherapy that was to finish last year. But in February 2019, doctors believed that the cancer infection has relapsed. At that juncture, transplanting bone marrow was the only option left. Following this, the doctors failed to found any match for the bone marrow.
The family was thrilled as the boy was clear from all infections but again contracted with a virus. At last, he died in August 2019. Zach’s mother, Nabila, a primary teacher in Derby, exclaimed how the family is full of sorrow due to the loss of their child. She further added that it is painful to know the fact that one’s child is suffering from the life-threatening disease of cancer.
After Zach’s death, his mother has planned to fund building a memorial garden at Zach school, Stenson Fields Primary School. With two other children and Zach’s memory, Nabila wants to live the rest of her life. She further added that she would make a reading room for the students in the school so that they can read outside the classroom area.
Zach’s school community has joined hands in fundraising with Nabila as they are in deep sorrow to overcome the loss.
