Mana Foundation's Objective. Our accomplishments. Other Iranians in need of your help.How to setup a Marrow Drive ?Other Informational links.Mana Khorashadi was a 5 years old Iranian girl who diagnosed with Aplastic Anemina, a deadly decease in which the blood cell production stops and it is as life threatening as lucekima. Mana was born to Mahmoud and Zohreh Khorashadi on May 26, 1989.
Mana successfully went through the radiation therapy followed by the bone marrow transplant operation in March of 1995. Unfortunately, on April 18, Mana started having new complications her doctors could no longer control her environment and considered her case none recoverable. Mana always acted more mature for her age, and she fought with her illness until the last minute. She was indeed one of a kind. May her soul rest in peace.
