Cornea Transplant for Aboud

Product Description

Chicago, Illinois, United States

Supporters

Hello everyone. My name is Ray, and as a U.S. citizen my entire life, I am trying to do my utmost to pay the Palestinian people reparations.

My friend Aboud needs a cornea transplant badly. He was able to raise the funds for a transplant for his right eye, but still needs one for his left.

Right now, he’s stuck in Egypt separated from his wife and family who remains trapped in Gaza. Getting this operation will support him being able to find work and support his family.

Please donate so we can meet this goal ($1500) as quickly as possible. If you cannot donate, please share widely among your circles.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Aboud’s words follow (lightly edited for clarity):

*********

I need your help for my family and I need treatment for both eyes. I am unable to perform [basic] operations.

I was being treated in Gaza hospitals, but because of the war, the hospitals were closed. I need to have surgery because my eye condition is difficult, and I have the x-ray photos and report.

I need you to stand by me.

I wish I could do the surgery and see with my own eyes. I hope to help the family. I want treatment and my family wants the necessities of life in Gaza.

I hope that no one will forget to stand with me in my treatment so that I can undergo the operation.

My eyesight is getting worse day by day. I am unable to work in Egypt because my eyesight is weak.

I had dreams and ambitions, all of which were destroyed by the occupation. I had a shop and it was destroyed and they destroyed my house. I wanted to complete my dream at university.

I had a corneal transplant in my right eye and I need a corneal transplant in my left eye and I need to follow up with the doctor and I need drops all the time [to help with the redness, but not the pain]

I must do the operation as soon as possible because my vision deteriorates with time and I need follow-up in the eye in which I had the cornea transplant before.

Thank you for listening to me.

You support my beloved Palestine. Thank you for your humanity and love for us. You want peace for Palestine.

All respect and appreciation to you.

Hi, Ray again. As you can see Aboud feels pretty helpless and desperate, as he cannot help his family with his condition.

Please help support him so that he can see his family again.

Thank you, again, for your consideration and attention. Peace to you. Be well.
