My name is Emma and I’m helping Ibrahim, a young doctor, to support his family.

Dear World,

My name is Ibrahim Ahmed. I’m 27 years old and a medical intern. I’m engaged, and I’m doing everything I can to help my community—even though I live through some of the toughest situations anyone can imagine.

I’m not a content creator. I can’t make videos. I’m a medical intern working long hours every week while also trying to take care of my family’s basic needs—waiting in lines for water and food, and collecting firewood to cook. All this without money.

I have not asked for help since the beginning of the current terrible situation, but the circumstances have changed now. The government is no longer providing payments to its citizens, and the needs of my household and family have shifted drastically.

But I am a doctor. I’ve devoted my life to healing others, and my journey hasn’t been easy.

I finished high school in 2016 and started studying medicine in Sudan. But a situation beyond my control forced me to return home and start over. I lost everything: two years of tuition fees, travel costs, and the dream I worked so hard to build.

Still, I didn’t give up.

I enrolled in medical school again here in G. I studied hard because I was determined to finish what I started. Just when I was about to graduate, circumstances changed for the worse again—this time in G. I lost my home, my university was damaged, and hospitals around me were destroyed.

Even with all this, I finished my last year under very hard conditions and graduated as a doctor in 2025.

Through all this, I never stopped serving my people. I volunteered to treat the wounded without pay and without resources—just with my commitment to save lives.

I’m not asking for sympathy. I just want to be seen and heard—as a young doctor who survived two horrendous situations and still chooses to stand up and serve.

What more does the world want from us?

Sincerely,

Ibrahim Ahmed
