Help Nabawia Aly from a brain injury

Nabawia Aly, beloved wife, mother and grandmother suffered a severe subarachnoid hemorrhage (brain aneurysm) this April in Springfield, Missouri, United States. Against all odds, and over many weeks, she made a remarkable recovery by regaining her speech, use of much of her body and eventually underwent a grueling rehabilitation to attempt to regain walking.

Since Mrs. Aly was born in Egypt and never worked in the United States; and even as an American citizen, she didn't qualify for many medical benefits. Her daughter Heba, made the difficult decision to send her to Cairo, Egypt for further rehabilitation since the cost was substantially lower. Heba single handedly financed the last minute international flight, caregiver and has paid thousands out of pocket for her stay at the Egyptian rehabilitation center and US hospital stays.

Over the next few weeks Nabawia excelled and even started walking assisted with a walker. She continued to make progress until early September, when her blood oxygen levels started to get out of safe levels.

Now, Egyptian doctors are informing the family that she needs emergency surgery in regards to a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with a floating tail in her leg. If part of the clot breaks off and travels through the bloodstream to her lungs, this could cause a pulmonary embolism and poses a significant risk to her life.

And since she doesn't have Egyptian insurance or has worked recently in Egypt, she doesn’t qualify for any monetary assistance. This is why we are asking for family, friends and even strangers to help this remarkable and loving woman to chip in funds to help pay for the operation and hospital stay.

Initial estimates put this amount around $18,000 United States Dollars.

Please help the Aly family by donating what you can. Even $5-20 can help.

Thank you!
