This is the true and verified story of a young man (Ariou) who is fighting for his life in Turkey.He was beaten close to death in his country of birth for being a member of The Baha'i Faith; he did not die; but he lost his kidney function; he left the country and is now a UNCHR registered refugee in Turkey waiting for resettlement. Thanks to the generosity of a few souls , enough money was raised for him to have a kidney transplant in Turkey and cover his basic expenses for 8 months in Turkey. The original circle of donors have maxed out in terms of their support and he is not able to get free drugs and has difficulties working due to his condition post kidney transplant so we are trying to raise 6000 dollars for a year to cover his drugs and very basic related expenses while he is awaiting resettlement to a third country . All funds will be accounted to donors . There are many refugees in need in Turkey but this is quite a unique situation that warrants support as a Victim of torture who needs medical help. Anything you give from 25 USD and above is welcomed ,anonymous or public
