Akram’s story began a week ago, when severe dehydration left him exhausted and he was transferred to begin treatment in an incubator, surrounded by danger, carried only by his mother’s hope and prayers..
But his condition worsened and did not go as his parents had hoped; he lost consciousness completely, and seizures began attacking his tiny body, so he was moved to intensive care, where he is still fighting his battle alone inside a body that has not yet fully developed.
Akram, who has known only the first week of life, is now facing what many adults cannot bear, while his family stands helpless before treatment costs beyond their means..
Our little one is not alone.. behind him are dozens of similar cases, children and families facing a battle greater than they can handle..
Help provide their treatment, and be the hand that returns them to the embrace of their families, and to a childhood that has not yet begun..
