Children's BURNS WARD Needs Funding!!
Donation protected
Hi guys,
Its Kara Makeup, please take a few minutes of your time to hear this!
Few months ago my cousin, a young doctor (Aqsa Khan) started working at the children's burns ward in a government funded hospital in Bahawalpur, Pakistan.
She realised soon enough that the malnourished children in comparison the the well nourished children were taking almost 6-7 times longer to recover. Where a well nourished child would recover within 14 days a malnourished child would take 3 months. The malnourished children are extremely prone to infection due to the prolonged recovery time and their weak health. Many of them die with sepsis which is caused by infection.
The government hospital provides all treatment needed, even plastic surgery for the sever cases for free, however, food is not provided.
This ward holds 20 children and is used in full capacity through out the year.
I have sat down and worked out a reliable process for these children to receive all the meals and supplements they need every day.
These children will be given high protein diet and a supplement called Paediasure for optimum nutrition. It costs only less than 65p to feed a child for 1 day. 19.50 to feed a child for a month.
My goal is in the last 10 days of ramadan to raise £4500, this will feed the children's burns ward for a whole year. If we can complete this, next Ramadan we can set this goal again!
Here is a link with photos taken by my cousin of children on the ward, please be ware they are very graphic and upsetting to see: https://myalbum.com/album/BiBGkkuobsPs
