Help Mariyam Hear, Walk, and Finally Have a Childhood
My name is Nazira, and I am a mother to a little warrior — Mariyam Turebayeva, born on March 31, 2021.
Mariyam was born with many serious medical conditions:
• Microtia and atresia of the left ear,
• PTEN gene mutation,
• Cerebral palsy,
• Global developmental delay,
• Epilepsy,
• Feeding intolerance with a G-tube, and more.
She cannot walk. She does not eat like other children. She doesn’t run, play, or speak like others her age.
She has never had a real childhood — only hospitals, tests, and pain.
I take care of her 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I do not work — my full-time job is being her mother, her nurse, her voice.
I have never asked for help before, but now I am begging for it.
We are raising $80,000 for:
1. A life-changing ear reconstruction surgery in California,
2. An intensive rehabilitation center so Mariyam can learn to walk, gain strength, and feel free — even just a little.
My biggest dream is to give Mariyam a chance to hear, to walk, to feel safe, and to have the childhood she never had.
A dream that one day she will go to school, laugh with friends, and live without pain.
Please, from the bottom of my heart — help us.
No one is ever truly prepared for something like this.
But maybe together, we can give Mariyam the future she deserves.
Thank you for reading, sharing, and caring.
May Allah bless you all.
— Nazira (Mariyam’s mom)
