I write this post as a friend of Abdul Rahman,
with a heavy heart because of what I see around me.
The recent attacks, chaos, and kidnapping of the president in Venezuela have shaken the world and reminded us how fragile life becomes when violence and insecurity prevail.
The world is watching, grieving, and showing solidarity⦠and this is a human right.
But there is another kind of pain that doesnāt receive enough attention.
The pain of a friend of mine from Gaza. Abdul Rahman lives with daily anxiety no less intense, as his mother is battling cancer,
and urgently needs chemotherapy that cannot be postponed.
Time is running out, the disease doesnāt wait, and his familyās financial resources are no longer sufficient to continue the treatment. Just as chaos and violence destroy lives, the lack of medicine threatens a motherās life,
and today Abdul Rahmanās mother is fighting the disease in silence. I write this because I know him well,
and I know how broken he is and how he is forced to ask for help,
but there is no other option when a motherās life is at stake. Please, any donation, no matter how small, any share of this appeal,
could make a real difference to a family in Gaza, and could keep a mother alive.
Donāt leave Abdul Rahman alone in this difficult ordeal.
Solidarity isnāt just words⦠sometimes itās saving a life. š
I write these words with indescribable helplessness⦠My motherās condition has deteriorated, and she is now in the hospital. There is no treatment available; her hemoglobin has dropped to 7, and the doctors had to give her a blood transfusion to save her life. But the only real solution is chemotherapy.
My mother has a chemotherapy session next Saturday, and we urgently need 700 euros to cover the cost.
