Saja Farhan
Dear Friends,
It is with
deep sadness that we announce the passing of
Saja Farhan, (Salman Family) on 29 Jan.
2010.
She had
been in the ICU at Primary Children's
Hospital since 8 Jan. 2010. She slipped away
quietly and returned to Heaven. We all will
miss her dearly.
Our first project is to help the Salman
family of Iraq.
Abdul Salman
is a veteran of the Iraq-Iran war. Shrapnel
was lodged in the back of his skull and he was paralyzed on the right side of his
body. Abdul has since regained partial use of his right side,
however one
side of his face is still paralyzed and he needs neurological
surgery.
Warda Salman
keeps this family together as a full time
mother with a disabled husband and three children with a form of
dwarfism that is degenerative, and three average sized children.
Doha, age 11. Tabarak, age 2, and Hussein age. 2 months
Ali Salman
is 9 yrs. old. Has the dominate spirit of a
leader and the personality of a comedian. He will keep you
laughing. His legs were so deformed that he walked with great
difficulty. His hip sockets were worn out so he was walking with
great pain. He needs neck stabilization surgery, Hip surgery,
and more surgery for his legs.
Bara'a Salman is 8yrs. old. she is very loving and loves
to be cuddled. She is very happy despite her condition. She
needs the same surgeries as her older sister Seja, and her older
brother Ali. At this time her hips are in good shape.
The surgeries that this family needs can not be preformed in
Iraq. Please help with your donations to get them to the United
States and to help them get the medical attention that they
need.
Abdul told me through an interpreter that he prayed for
angles to come and help his family. Please be one of those
angels that he prayed for.
