Help Raeda Get Her Life-Saving Kidney Transplant

Donation protected
My name is Marwan, and I am asking for your help to save the life of my beloved aunt, Raeda Alani. She is more than just family — she is the heart of our home, the one who always puts others first, and the person who has been there for everyone in times of need.

Now, Raeda is the one who needs us.


Her Story

Raeda is battling kidney failure, and doctors have told us that a transplant is her only option. Without it, we are running out of time.

In Iraq, where she lives, the healthcare system does not cover this type of surgery. The cost is $58,000 — far beyond what our family can manage alone.

So far, we’ve pulled together $28,000 from our own contributions and the support of relatives. But we are still far from the total, and the clock is ticking.


Life on Dialysis

Right now, Raeda undergoes 3 dialysis sessions every week. Each one costs $150 — more than $1,800 every month.

Dialysis keeps her alive, but it leaves her exhausted, in pain, and unable to work. The financial strain and her inability to earn a living have made her situation even harder.


A transplant is the only way forward.

Why We’re Asking for Help

We’ve done everything we can as a family, but we cannot reach this goal without you.


Your donation will go directly toward:

The kidney transplant surgery

Hospital and doctor costs

Medication and aftercare to help her recover

⚠️ Since GoFundMe is not available in Iraq, the funds will be delivered through me (her nephew) and our family directly to Raeda to pay her medical bills.

Even the smallest contribution makes a real difference.


What Your Gift Can Do

$25 → covers a week of medication

$100 → helps pay for part of a dialysis session

$500 → gets us a big step closer to the surgery

Every dollar brings us closer to ending Raeda’s suffering and giving her the chance to heal.


Why It’s Urgent

We cannot move forward with the surgery until the full cost is covered. Every week that passes means more dialysis, more pain, and more risk.

So far, we’ve raised nearly half the total. With your help, we can get Raeda the life-saving transplant she desperately needs.
