That’s not a dramatic way of saying it!
It’s the real, painful truth of Abdulbaset, an 11-year-old boy whose face quietly tells a story no child should live.
He was born with a rare skin condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa. His skin is so delicate that even the smallest touch can cause blisters and wounds. His days are filled with creams, bandages, and quiet pain. All he wants is to get through the day without hurting too much.
Abdulbaset and his family recently returned to Syria from Turkey after years of displacement. Eleven people are now trying to start over with almost nothing, in very tough conditions.
His dad works as a tailor, doing his best, but what he earns isn’t nearly enough to cover Abdulbaset’s treatment, which is constant and costly.
