Urgent Surgery for Neighbor in The Gambia

I am raising funds for a dear family friend and neighbor in The Gambia who is facing a devastating medical emergency.

They recently suffered a severe arm fracture that now requires urgent surgery. The cost of the surgery is I am raising funds for a dear family friend and neighbor in The Gambia who is facing a devastating medical emergency.
They recently suffered a severe arm fracture that now requires urgent surgery. The cost of the operation is 150,000 dalasis (approximately $2,000 USD) , an amount that is simply impossible for them and their family to afford.
Doctors have given heartbreaking news: if the surgery is not performed within the next week, they will be forced to amputate the arm.
In The Gambia, there are very limited financial assistance programs, and most medical expenses must be paid upfront before treatment can begin. Without immediate support, this surgery cannot happen.
We are especially asking for help during this blessed month of Ramadan, a time when charity, compassion, and saving a life carry immense reward. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that whoever relieves a believer’s hardship, Allah will relieve their hardship in the Hereafter. Your donation during Ramadan can be a source of ongoing blessings (sadaqah jariyah) and could literally save someone’s arm.

Please donate if you can, and if you are unable to give, share this fundraiser widely. May Allah bless everyone for your efforts! The surgery is approximately 150,000 dalasis (approximately $2,000 USD) , an amount that is simply impossible for them and their family to afford.
