Shamila’s story

Shamila, whose family calls her Xhamie, lives with EB (epidermolysis bullosa), a genetic blistering skin disease. Her skin is so fragile that friction or pressure causes painful blisters. Up to 80% of her body, including her face, has been affected by blisters and skin loss. Even a hug can hurt.

Her wounds stick to her bandages, so every dressing change is painful and can cause bleeding. New blisters often appear before older wounds have had time to heal.

Shamila also has painful blisters inside her ear canals and mouth, which make hearing and eating harder. After so many blisters and so much scarring, some of her fingers and toes have fused together.

Her mom cares for her every day. In her latest updates, she shared that Shamila still has many wounds on her back and head, and that the family is taking things one day at a time.

Shamila’s family lives in poverty, without access to free healthcare. Keeping enough clean bandages and pain medicine on hand is a constant struggle.

Updates from Shamila’s mom

  1. Taking each day as it comes

    “Shamila has many wounds on her body, with some of the worst areas being her head and back. We have been carefully looking after her and doing what we can to help with her wounds. Some days are harder than others, but we are staying beside her and taking things one day at a time. We truly appreciate everyone who has not forgotten Shamila.”

    — Shamila’s mom

  2. Wounds, constipation and a toothache

    “Shamila still has many wounds across her back, and she is also struggling with constipation and a painful toothache. It is hard seeing her deal with so many things at once. We continue to care for her and pray that she will have some relief soon. Thank you for remembering Shamila and continuing to support her.”

    — Shamila’s mom

  3. Thankful for another year

    “Shamila recently celebrated her birthday, and we are so thankful for another year of her life. She is doing well, although she still has many wounds on her back and head. Thank you to everyone who continues to pray for and support Shamila.”
