The path of young people supported in 2021

Young thalassemia

Mohamad (born in 1999) and his brother Oussama(born in 2002)

Unfortunately, these two young brothers had some relationship problems with their parents. They no longer come to the Center regularly. The social team is doing their best to motivate them and help them deal with their day-to-day problems.

Due to the complicated situation of the two children, the budget which was initially allocated for them could be used to cover the treatment of 3 other thalassemia patients: Imane, Razane and Farah that we will present to you below.

Imane (born in 2018)

The little girl belongs to a family in need. The father is a day worker (mechanic) and his salary remains insufficient to cover the basic needs of the family of 5 people, including two children with thalassemia.

Imane, affected by major thalassemia major since the first months of her life, comes regularly to the Center with her parents. She is well followed by a Desferal pump treatment. She is a young child who deserves to be accompanied.

Razane (born in 2004)

Razane was affected by major thalassemia in 2005 and has been treated since then at the Chronic Care Center where she comes regularly with her father, a teacher in a small school whose salary is not enough to meet the basic needs of the family.

Razane gets her transfusion on time and is is well followed by a Desferal pump treatment. She adheres well to her treatment and closely follows the instructions of the doctor and the paramedical team of the Center.

Razane manages her chronic illness well, and takes care of her little brothers. She’s brave at school. In the final year, she took online courses despite the difficulties imposed by the current situation in the country. She deserves to be helped.

Farah (born in 2005)

Farah is part of a poor family. Her father is employed in a security agency. He has an insufficient salary and does not benefit from any social or medical cover.

Farah has an older 22 years old brother who suffers from a serious eye problem and chronic illness. She comes regularly to the Center for her transfusions and is treated with the Desferal pump. It is well followed by the medico-social team. She attends the local public school, in second grade.

The Foundation continues to support Hassan, May, Alik, Kami, Mira and Khaled to allow them constant support through the Chronic Care Center.

May, whose transplant was successful, is no longer undergoing medical treatment. Her father came to the Center on 11/2/2020 to inform us that she is doing very well and is attending her classes at the village public school again. She is a bright and fulfilled little girl who owes a lot to “Dr. Ouidad Hachem Foundation” for her recovery.
