Dear friends and supporters,

My name is Abdeslam and I'm reaching out to you today with a heavy heart to share my wife Rabia's story. Rabia is a loving mother to our 21-year-old son and my soulmate for over two decades. She has been struggling with a rare disease called sarcoidosis for the past few years, which has caused extensive damage to her lungs. Despite the best efforts of doctors, Rabia's condition has worsened, and we have been informed that she has only a few months left to live.

We have explored every possible option, and the only way to save Rabia's life is through a lung transplant. However, the doctors have deemed her ineligible for the surgery due to the high risk involved and past miscommunications because of language barriers. It was a devastating blow for our family, and Rabia has been struggling with panic attacks and a sense of hopelessness ever since.

But, after we brought her home, she slowly started to recover, and we convinced her to consider the possibility of a lung transplant once again. We reached out to several hospitals in Belgium, but they all gave us the same negative response. A hospital in the Netherlands told us that without Dutch nationality, the transplant is impossible. So, we're now turning our hopes to Spain, Morocco, or the United States. Rabia holds Spanish and Moroccan nationality, and we are hoping that we can find a hospital that will take her case.

However, the biggest obstacle we face is the financial burden. Our insurance doesn't cover medical expenses in other countries, and we're not in a position to bear the costs of the surgery and all related medical expenses. We have exhausted all our savings and resources, and time is running out. That's why we are humbly requesting your help.

Our son is getting married in the upcoming year, and it's Rabia's dream to see him start a new life. It's my son's dream to see his mom well again. We want to make this happen, and we need your support to do it.

Please help us raise the funds we need to give Rabia a fighting chance. Your donations will go directly towards the surgery and all related expenses, and any amount you can give will make a difference. Even if you can't donate, please share this campaign with your friends and family to help us reach our goal.

We are eternally grateful for your kindness and generosity. Please keep us in your prayers.

In case donations can’t go through gofundme you can also send your support directly to the card linked with this fundings page.
