Hello,
My name is Najmo Sahal and I have created this campaign to seek support funds to help my seven- year-old cousin, Zamzam, get the medical care she urgently needs.
Zamzam lives with her parents and siblings in Mogadishu, Somalia. They live in a rural area and live a very poor life. Through my family, we try our best to support them, but that only helps with food and other things they need to survive.
Zamzam started having issues about a year ago with her breathing and would sweat a lot at night with trouble sleeping. She was taken to the nearest town for a checkup, but the doctors couldn’t really diagnose her.
Consequently, my family put together some money and she was taken to Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, where it was found out that she has a hole in her heart and was diagnosed with Rheumatic Heart Disease.
Soon her situation became more severe after her parents noticed she couldn’t walk straight and would bump into things. They took her back for more consultation, and the doctors said she is losing her vision due to veins in her eyes not working correctly and has a problem with her tear ducts.
Please Help!
We’ve contacted doctors in Turkey who said they could try to help her, but we need 50,000 dollars to get her and one of her parents there to have her treated.
This has caused a lot of burden for our family, and we can’t possibly afford the expense, which is why I’ve created this campaign. We’ve tried our best as a family to provide the best support we could possibly afford, but right now, things are getting harder, so we decided to appeal to well- meaning members of the public who could empathize with our situation and help us raise the needed funds to sustain her medical care.
Zamzam urgently needs this medical care, and timing is very critical. Every donation is greatly appreciated, and all donations will be for her and her medical needs only. Please help!
This act of kindness will go a great length to help as she keeps fighting. We feel so grateful to everyone who has taken the time to read this campaign, and for those who have contributed what they could to help, your efforts are highly appreciated.
If you can’t contribute, that doesn’t mean you can’t help. Please help us get the word out and make some noise about the campaign to your friends and on social media! We appreciate all your support.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration
