Kidney transplant
Empowering Resilience: Join Hands to Fund Omar's Life-Changing Kidney Transplant   Dear Friends,   Today, I write to you with a heart brimming with hope and a story of unwavering resilience. I humbly seek your support for a critical and life-altering surgery - a kidney transplant. From a young age, I've been confronted with the challenges of glycogen storage disease, a condition that has cast a significant shadow over my life. Diagnosed at the tender age of 6, I grappled with the physical and emotional toll this illness imposed on my young spirit. My childhood was marked by the harsh reality of being different from my peers. In the face of adversity, I embarked on a journey that led me to a successful liver transplant, a testament to my unyielding determination. Through it all, I have steadfastly refused to surrender to despair. It's the unwavering support and love of individuals like yourselves that have fortified my resolve to persevere and helped me raise over $600,000 to make the transplant possible. Today, I am on the cusp of completing my master's degree in marketing from Beirut Arab University. However, the heavy medication required for my liver took its toll on my kidneys, leaving them severely damaged. For nearly 11 years, I have endured the rigors of dialysis, a journey that began when I was in grade 9. As a young person navigating the challenges of dialysis, I questioned my reality and the purpose of my existence. Surrounded by elderly patients, I struggled to find my place. Yet, despite these trials, I persevered and continued my education, culminating in my pursuit of a master's degree. My journey has been made possible by the kindness and support of many compassionate souls. Today, I turn to you, dear friends, with a heartfelt plea for your generous contribution towards my kidney transplant, a procedure that comes with a daunting price tag of $30,000. Your generosity will not only grant me the gift of a normal life but will also help me rediscover my purpose and become a symbol of resilience for those enduring similar tribulations. I'm incredibly grateful to share that my brother, who is a 100% match, has selflessly offered to be my donor, further solidifying the hope of a brighter future ahead. Your consideration and support mean the world to me. No donation is too small, for every gesture brings me closer to a life renewed and filled with promise. You are the ray of hope that lights up my path. Please join me in this transformative journey. Together, we can turn my dreams into reality and inspire others to persevere in the face of adversity. With heartfelt gratitude,   Omar

Keep the Heart Beating
وجيه سري الدين 46 سنة إبن بلدة المشرفة، هو أب لثلاثة أولاد ومعيل أهله بحاجة إلى عملية طارئة خلال أسبوع لزراعة عضلة اصطناعية للقلب، بتكلفة 140,000د In the heart of a bustling Lebanese city beats a rhythm too fragile, a heart struggling to keep pace with life's vibrant melody. This beat belongs to Wajih Sarieddine, a husband, father of three, and a man whose smile radiates warmth like the Mediterranean sun. But Wajih's light is dimming, overshadowed by a relentless heart condition that whispers fear and threatens to silence his laughter forever. His only hope, a whisper of possibility woven into metal and silicon, whispers its name: LVAD-HeartMate 3. This marvel of technology, a bridge between life and oblivion, carries a price tag as harsh as the desert wind - $140,000. A sum that stands between Wajih's future and the abyss, a sum the family, with insurance offering a mere drop in the bucket, Imagine Wajih, the coach urging his kids on, the first to rise when help is needed, the man who makes every stranger feel like family. Imagine that laughter silenced, that hand no longer reaching out, that light extinguished. We cannot. Will not. With each beat of his faltering heart, urgency drums a tattoo against our chests. Time is not a luxury we have. Each sunrise a gamble, each sunset a potential farewell. That's why we reach out to you, to the kindness that echoes across oceans and continents, to the hearts that resonate with the rhythm of humanity. Every dollar you contribute is a note in Wajih's symphony of life, a chord of hope strummed against the strings of fate. It's the chance to see his children grow, hold his wife's hand with renewed strength, and watch the sun paint the sky with a palette of tomorrows. Don't wait for the silence. Donate now. Be the melody that lifts Wajih's heart, the harmony that drowns out the whispers of fear. Together, we can rewrite this story, turn fear into hope, and make the impossible beat of resilience echo through the valleys of his future. From the depths of our gratitude, thank you. Let your generosity be the rhythm that keeps Wajih's heart dancing, one beat at a time.
