In October of 2023, Mahran Hossain, 33 years old, was diagnosed with Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) stage 4B, a very rare and aggressive cancer. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he had lost both his parents to the virus, leaving him and his brother to support themselves. After 5 cycles of chemotherapy, HatchHope was able to raise enough money to pay for an autologous STEM cell transplantation in Dhaka.
