Back from the hospital



Habib's plans are in danger: his right knee is seriously damaged by severe internal bleeding, and following an operation he had a few years ago. He must undergo another operation, but he previously needs 150 units of coagulation factor Haemate P 500. With the latest events in Lebanon and the closure of the airport for nine days, no more of these factors are available ! The Lebanese Association for Hemophilia is overwhelmed by urgent needs, they could provide him with only 20 units .... until the air traffic comes back to normal to receive new stocks of this product.
Chafica is really depressed today: Habib does not sleep at night, the knee is painful and he should stay in bed all day. No more work, no projects, nothing.... He sold his cellular phone in order to get Internet connection installed at home and enjoy some entertainment. This will also encourage his brothers to stay more often at home..........
Can we find a way to help this family on a permanent basis ?
Is it possible to find sponsors who would take in charge part of the enormous problems arising more and more often ??
