Support Siraj's Journey to Safety and Health

Donation protected
After losing his family, 13-year-old-Siraj found Ahmed, who, on top of caring for his sick father and pregnant wife, is now also taking care of Siraj and making sure he is not alone. They need money for food and medicine and, when the border opens, to be able to evacuate to safety.

Dalle comida, medicina, pasaporte e evacuación ó Siraj.

Tras perder á súa familia, o Siraj (13 anos) deu co Ahmed, que xa coidaba de seu pai enfermo e da súa muller embarazada. Precisan cartos para resistir.


ENGLISH

This is Siraj.

He is 13 and he loves football, but the marks on his arms are not because of playing. They are the scars from the bomb that killed his family.

Since Siraj was a baby, he has needed medicine for his heart condition: a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Without it, he could have a stroke.

He spent a whole month without any medicine and his health is in poor condition. His eyes have seen things that some people don’t want to think about.

After 5 days of wandering and searching for food, he was reduced to picking what he could find out of the trash.

That is when he crossed paths with Ahmed, who was buying groceries for his sick father and his pregnant wife. Ahmed took Siraj in and has been caring for him since then. Ahmed has his own GoFundMe, but he couldn’t predict his family’s needs would increase so soon.


Basic needs that we can help them with:

Food for Siraj (for 3 months): 1,240€.
Eating costs: 14€/day/person
Medicine for his heart condition (for 3 months): 345€ (115€/month)
Getting Siraj a passport: 2735€ (He left home with nothing but his clothes on)
Help him flee the country with Hala Company: 4587€
(Other) to help Adoption+Start from scratch in Egypt: 6.093€
Total 15.000€


What about you? What would you do if you saw a kid eating rubbish?

What if you couldn’t sleep due to the bombing?

If you were hungry, would you wait with a smile on your face like Siraj’s?


5€ can help him get to a safe place when the border re-opens. To a place where bruises are only caused by football.

Please, donate 5€/$5/£5 - be part of the solution.





GALEGO

Preséntoche ó Siraj.

Ten 13 anos e gústalle o fútbol, pero as queimaduras que leva nos brazos non son de xogar.

Son o recordatorio da bomba que o deixou sen familia.


Dende pequeno, padece un foramen oval permeable: unha enfermidade que de non ser tratada, pode derivar nun ictus. Pasou un mes sen medicación e o seu estado de saúde é delicado.

Os ollos do Siraj viron cousas nas que ti e eu non queremos pensar.

Despois de 5 días vagando esfameado e só, non lle quedou outra ca comer no lixo.

Nese momento, apareceu o Ahmed, que ía por verduras para o seu pai enfermo e a súa muller embarazada e decidiu adoptalo aínda tendo dificultades para comer el mesmo.



Necesidades do Siraj nas que podemos axudar:

Comida (para 3 meses): 1.240€ Poder comer supón un gasto de 14€ diarios/persoa.
Medicación para o corazón (3 meses): 345€ (115€/mes)
Facerlle un pasaporte: 2735€ (marchou da casa co que levaba posto)
Axudarlle a fuxir da guerra: a evacuación do Siraj levaráa a cabo Hala Company, que cobra cara 4587€/persoa.
Trámites de adopción+Comezar de 0 en Exipto: 6.093€
Total: 15.000€.



Que farías se vises un neno comendo do lixo tendo outro de camiño?

Se pola noite non puideras durmir co ruido dos misiles, mentres a xente cuestiona a túa realidade?

Se tiveses fame, esperarías co sorriso co que espera o Siraj?

5€ do teu peto poden contribuir a que cando se abra a fronteira, o Siraj escapar e que as únicas feridas que teña sexan de xogar.
