Raising funds for: Joud Haider
Over the past couple of weeks I have been working with a group of amazing individuals to help a 3.5 year old little Syrian boy named Joud Haider. He has been diagnosed with Hydrocephalus, liquid in the brain, which has left him unresponsive and increasingly suffering damage to the brain. Due to harsh sanctions on Syria he is unable to get the operation and treatment he requires there. Joud is one of thousands suffering unnecessary because of the sanctions we imposed. We have arranged for him to be transported to a hospital in Malaysia to undergo neurosurgery and physical therapy to regain some active control of his life. At the moment while travel arrangements are being made he has also contracted chicken pox and is being quarantined. Time is of the essence to save this baby and he needs your help, all of our help! To keep things transparent I will only be paying money collected directly to the trust account of the reputable hospital in Malaysia. This cause is as legitimate as they come and we humbly ask for your help. My aim is to reach 1,700 people to give $10 each. Records will be kept and the money released accordingly. With the permission of his mother I will keep you all updated on fundraising and his progress. Anyone that is unable to donate can help by sharing my post. The operation is booked in for 15 January 2018 so time is very limited. Let’s band together to make this happen and I will prove to you how far $10 can really go. I am committed to full transparency and to doing what we can for this one child today. Tomorrow we will help them all. You will see posts from other people on this from around the world, we are all trying to get this done. Your prayers, donation, shares and comments are so very welcome. All questions will be answered in the comments below. Thank you

Dear angels of Joud, Almost 12 hours ago we found a private hospital to treat Joud. We made the decision to use $1,076.31 of the funds collected thus far to pay to get him into this facility. It was nothing short of a miracle. Joud is in intensive care fighting for his life. While Joud continues to fight, we will continue to fight. We are not giving up on this tiny man and your help is desperately needed. We are eternally thankful to everyone who has pledged their support as i don't believe he would be with us right now without your help. A video can be found on a facebook page reporting from his bedside in intensive care. https://www.facebook.com/helpjoud/ All transfer receipts have been kept as records. I will continue to update you. It is 8:30am now in Damascus and we eagerly await news of what has happened over night. Pray for Joud. Friends of Joud x

Dear angels of Joud, About 24 hours ago we received the news that Joud was rushed to hospital and then found out that in addition to his hydrocephalus and chicken pox he now has pneumonia. A number of people worked all day from around the world to try to get him help. He needed intensive care as he was on his last breath and oxygen was not getting to his brain. The hospitals in Damascus could not take him because he is contagious with the chicken pox and his life was being extinguished by the minute highlighting all too well how sanctions kill children. Both the child and the mother were in extreme distress. A video can be found on a facebook page reporting from his bedside. https://www.facebook.com/helpjoud/ We scoured for every possible solution from approaching all hospitals, offering to rent or buy the equipment from other facilities or even have an incubation/isolation/quarantine room set up. By that stage we had raised almost $3,000 AUD for Joud but had no options to help him. Friends of Joud x
