Mehdi Needs Us: Rare Brain Tumor Battle

Title: Help Mehdi Fight a Rare Brain Tumor

Hi, my name is Hicham, and I’m raising funds for my dear friend Mehdi, who’s been battling a rare brain tumor (Spindle Cell Oncocytoma) since 2022.

At just 40 years old, Mehdi has already undergone two brain surgeries—the first in December 2022, and the second on May 15, 2025. Unfortunately, neither was fully successful, and a third surgery is on the horizon. He hasn’t been able to work since his diagnosis—he tried many times, but the complications have taken a serious toll on his health.

The tumor sits near his pituitary gland, causing severe headaches, vision problems, weakness, and hormonal issues. Only 25% of it was removed so far, and due to the risk of permanent vision loss, radiotherapy is not an option. Mehdi has been depending on daily medication just to survive—and he’ll need it for life.

We’re asking for your help to cover medical costs not covered by insurance, as well as rent and basic living expenses. Mehdi is a fighter, but right now, he can’t do it alone.

Any donation, big or small, makes a difference. And if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page.

Thank you so much for your support.
