Since the moment he was born, little Mahmoud has been fighting to survive. Delivered by cesarean section, he was unable to breathe on his own, and the resulting lack of oxygen caused paralysis in his legs and brain damage that now keeps him dependent on breathing, feeding, and suction machines. After spending three long years in the hospital, his family has been asked to bring him home—but only if they can secure the essential medical equipment he needs to stay alive. The family lives in extremely difficult conditions; Mahmoud’s father works daily labor jobs with a small income that barely covers rent, while the child’s ongoing medical needs have become an overwhelming burden. Mahmoud urgently needs a safe environment and life-sustaining devices to continue his fight. With your help, we can ease the family’s hardship and give Mahmoud the chance to keep breathing—and keep living.
