Two young boys lose their father due to COVID-19
Donation protected
Dr. Mohamed Warda was a surgeon in Egypt and naturopathic doctor in Canada who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in April 2021, after a 6 day battle in the ICU fighting COVID-19. Dr. Warda sadly leaves behind his wife Asmaa (Sama) and his two young boys. In 6 days, their entire lives were turned upside down. This GoFundMe was created in support of his wife and sons, who are now left without their primary provider.
Warda was not only a kind-hearted and dedicated physician, but he was also a loving and caring husband, father, and friend. He was well known by his family, friends, and colleagues as a kind, selfless, cheerful individual who always had a smile on his face. He was always open to helping others and would never turn anyone away.
Dr. Warda had immigrated to Canada with his family in 2012, full of hope and optimism. He wanted to provide his family with a great environment to live in and an opportunity for his children to receive a better education.
Although Dr. Warda was a surgeon in Egypt, after moving to Canada, his degree was not recognized, so he switched his career and studied at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine to become a naturopathic doctor. Unfortunately, he only became licensed to practice in June 2020, during the pandemic, so he did not get the chance to practice.
He and his wife worked tirelessly to build their new life in Canada, from scratch. They are alone, as they have no family living in Canada with them. They went back to school and started new careers, for which they accumulated student loans and other debts. They were optimistic that all their hard work would eventually pay off for their children.
Warda was a member of the Canadian Red Cross as his casual job while studying naturopathic medicine was first aid and BLS instructor. Warda was a regular volunteer at retirement homes, where he gave lectures for seniors about naturopathic medicine and healthy living. Sama worked in the retirement home industry for 6 years before she was laid off in the summer of 2020 due to the pandemic and is currently still laid off.
Warda set an example of perseverance as a surgeon and a naturopathic doctor for his sons. Both of his sons would like to follow in his footsteps and study medicine to become surgeons and save lives. Covid-19 is claiming the lives of so many people, and sadly many of them are parents of young children who need their love, care, and support. Your donations would help support his sons financially for their living costs and education costs. More importantly, the family would appreciate your emotional support.
Nothing can bring their dad, his love or his support back. However, your donations would be greatly appreciated in helping them through this very difficult time and prepare for their future, which now looks very different than expected.
