My cousin Rula has spent more than 10 years helping her community and supporting people in need, especially those who are blind. She understands their challenges deeply — because she is blind herself. Despite her own struggles, she has always been the first to give and the last to ask for anything in return.
Now she is the one who needs help — and she needs it urgently.
She has a serious tumor called chordoma on her lower spine (sacrum). It has gotten to the point where she can barely walk or sit without being in excruciating pain. The tumor is pressing dangerously near her spinal cord, putting her life and mobility at serious risk. Without surgery, her condition will only get worse, and she could lose the ability to walk altogether.
Doctors in Syria cannot perform this complex surgery because they lack the equipment and specialists needed. Her only hope is Al Zahraa Hospital in Lebanon, which has an expert neurology and neurosurgery team capable of removing the tumor using advanced microscopic techniques.
The cost for the surgery, hospital stay, and medical care is $15,000 — far beyond what she and her family can afford. We need to raise the funds as soon as possible so she can have the surgery and relief from the unbearable pain.
Your donation — no matter how big or small — will bring her one step closer to healing. If you cannot donate, sharing this with others will also mean the world to us.
❤️ Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
