"Urgent Medical Campaign: Life-Saving Surgery Needed

Support My Husband’s Urgent Medical Surgery and Our Family in Crisis

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for taking the time to visit our campaign and consider supporting our family during this incredibly difficult time. My name is Anna, and I am reaching out with deep humility and hope to share our story and ask for your help.

Our Current Situation

My husband, who has been the rock of our family, has recently been diagnosed with critical health conditions that require urgent medical intervention. He is suffering from:
• Gangrene in two toes requiring immediate amputation
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm that necessitates the insertion of a stent into his aorta

The surgery is life-saving, and we cannot afford to delay it. While Rashid Hospital initially provided us with an approximate estimate of 200,000 AED, we have since learned that government hospitals in the UAE do not provide fixed package pricing. Instead, charges will accumulate progressively based on the treatments he receives.

Why We Need Your Help

Our family is in a dire financial situation following my husband’s job loss four months ago. Despite his many years of dedication to his work, we were left with no severance pay or gratuity. The stress of unemployment and financial instability has taken a severe toll on his health, leaving us in an incredibly vulnerable position.

We are also facing:
• Education expenses for our 8-year-old twin daughters
• Rent payment due in mid-January 2025
• Basic living expenses while both my husband and I search for employment

Our Urgent Need:
We urgently need to fund two critical surgeries:
1. Emergency toe amputation to prevent the spread of gangrene
2. Aortic stent placement to prevent a potentially fatal aneurysm rupture

The Challenge We Face:
- My husband has been unable to work for 4 months
- His end-of-service gratuity is unpaid
- We have no medical insurance
- Dubai medical costs are beyond our means
  • Our girls can’t continue education

Time is Critical:
Every day we wait increases the risk of:
- The aneurysm rupturing (which has a very high mortality rate)
- Gangrene spreading to other parts of his body
The doctors have emphasized that both surgeries are urgently needed.

What We've Done So Far:
- We are Selling all our valuables (including car, furniture, electronics)
  • I am continuing offering my gluten free baked goods while actively looking for a job ( resume can be provided on request)
- Applied for local charitable assistance
- Exhausted our savings
- Reached out to family and friends

How You Can Help:
- Any donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to saving his life
- Sharing this campaign with your network
- Keeping us in your thoughts and prayers

Your Support Means Everything:
We've always believed in helping others in their time of need, never imagining we'd be in this position ourselves. Your support will not only save my husband's life but will also keep our family together.

I'm happy to provide medical documentation and updates throughout this journey. Every contribution will go directly to his medical care.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer. We are grateful for every share, every donation, and every prayer.
