“He hasn't slept in six months. He's in pain from hunger. I am too malnourished to feed him milk and we have no money for formula.”
At Al Sabeen hospital, we met a one year old child named Ameer Saleh. His mother told us of her struggles. Because of the ongoing civil war, they are struggling to find enough work, money or food to treat their child.
“My husband works all day and we use all our money on treatment but it's still not enough.”
Because of embargos and military zones, food and medicines are hard to come by. As a result - life is bad. Ameer’s family is living out of two small rooms. No kitchen means having to cook on campfires, and no bathroom means having to use buckets.
“To get the money for our child, we had to sell everything we have saved in our life. Not just the heirlooms, but I even sold the blankets we use to keep warm to our neighbors for treatment.”
Now they’re at the hospital, but are still unable to afford treatment.
We don't have money to treat him. We couldn't even pay the car who drove us here. So the doctors are treating his pain but can't help him recover. We hoped that once we got here we would find somebody who could help.”
Despite being in the hospital - Ameer is not being treated. In Yemen, even if you found treatment - you still have to pay for your own supplies and medicine.
If we raise enough money - we can ensure Ameer gets better and is set up for a full recovery back in his village.
Ameer and his family thanks you for making the decision to save his life.
