Abandoned by her biological mother at just one year old, she faced a tumultuous life marked by neglect and health struggles. Fatima had been under the care of her foster parents, Syed Ali Moazzam and Muozzama, who took her in after she was abandoned a second time.

Fatima was diagnosed with subcutaneous lupus erythematosus and brain edema, conditions that left her dependent on a ventilator and constant care for over two years. Throughout her illness, she maintained a positive spirit, creating vlogs that inspired others. Her foster father confirmed her death, stating she had been unresponsive after a brief period of consciousness.
