Yossi Sirrawi's Kidney Transplant
Donation protected
My Dear Friend,
The Samaritan People of the Bible need help from good people like you
This is an urgent personal request to you, and to anyone you feel could help.
We are raising funds on behalf of a young man in the Israelite Samaritan community in Holon, Israel.
Joseph (Yossi) Sirrawi, aged 37, was perfectly healthy and going about his normal life, when out of the blue about seven months ago a routine blood test showed that Yossi's kidneys were in danger of imminent failure. Yossi's mother, herself undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, his two sisters and other family members were found not to be suitable donors.
Following the kidney failure, the levels of toxins in Yossi's blood have become dangerously high. He had to quit his job as an underwriter for a leading insurance company. He undergoes dialysis treatment three times a week.
Due to the rarity of his blood type the waiting list for appropriate donors in Israel is very long, from 5 to 8 years or more. In the past month his condition has worsened - doctors say that his body is no longer responding so well to dialysis. His only option is to seek a transplant abroad immediately, a very expensive procedure.
It could happen to any of us. His condition is deteriorating daily. Yossi needs a kidney transplant to save his life. The cost of the operation is £150 000
(€172 000, NIS 680 000 or $193 000). So far the fundraisers have collected a tenth of this amount.
Let's Make a New Dawn for Yossi
Yossi's father, although of pensionable age, continues to work as a security guard, doing his best to support the family. Our small community has donated as much as we can, but we number fewer than 900 souls, and we cannot reach the figure required without your help. We appeal to you to help us raise this sum - every contribution, large and small, will help us reach the target. Let's make a new dawn for Yossi, his family and our unique community.
We are an ancient people with a rich heritage, tracing our roots back through 127 consecutive generations in the Holy Land. Having almost disappeared early in the twentieth century, our numbers are now steadily increasing. We pray for a full recovery for Yossi so that he can soon establish a family in the Israelite Samaritan tradition.
Please open your heart and join us in supporting this urgent appeal.
Blessings upon you
Benyamim Tsedaka
