#Help4Hassan - Save a life in Yemen

NOTICE: This fundraiser was set up in 2018. The amount you see here is the amount we collected through the past years to help Hassan in his daily struggle. It wasn’t planned at the beginning, but it became a long-term fundraiser to help Hassan with food and med. supplements. I asked so many International Organizations ans Associations worldwide to assist with at least food baskets, medical treatment or to get Hassan outside of Yemen. I would have personally taken care of him, but nobody was willing to assist for that. They refused to help "single cases“ as they said. So Hassan depends on our help and we both are so grateful for everybody who helped him the past years.

Without your support and this campaign, he would not have food or any medical supplements. Also WFP didn’t helped him. Because of that, I have to keep the fundraiser until any organization will help or war stopps.

I ensure you, that each single dollar/euro we receive, goes 100% to Hassan. The amount you donate, is the amount Hassan receives. The fees for GoFundMe and for the money transfer to Yemen will be paid by myself.

You are free to contact Hassan and me any time for every question regarding the fundraiser!

Hello dear friends, my name is Kate (Twitter: @cmqkate) from Germany! Since long time I know my dear friend Hassan Khader Ali (Twitter: @hassankhaderali), who is living in a small district of the Al Hudaydah Governorate in Yemen.

Beside the very bad circumstances caused by war, starvation and poverty, he is suffering of a genetic disorder, called Muscle Dystrophy (MD). This disease damage and weaken his muscles over time. The MD results in the breakdown of skeletal muscles, so that it causes problems with walking, swallowing and muscle coordination. In some cases, it even leads to failure of the heart muscle and lungs, so that the affected suffocate. Since 20 years Hassan can't stand or walk anymore. His disease progresses so that he isn’t even able to raise his arm. Because of all of that, he is not able to take care of himself or to leave the house. So he lives isolated from the world outside. He is glad to have his brother, who tries to help him in everyday life. As many people in Yemen also Hassans family is really poor and because of war, there are not even work.

I talked to different humanitarian organizations through the last years to get some help for Hassan, but unfortunately they doesn't feel responsible for an „individual case“, they said. So we hope to get some support by you in any way!

I created that fundraiser 2018 to support Hassan in his daily life.

Until now MD is unfortunately incurable. But I consulted a neurologists here in Germany and he recommended some issues we could do to improve the quality of Hassan's life. Apart from the lack of food (especially with high-protein/-calcium) and elecricity, gas for cooking, a new medical examination at a specialist (his reports are 20 yrs old), a medical diagnostic to monitor the progress of the disease and his constitution (e.g. by heart muscle and lung function test) and aid supplies (e.g. a wheel chair), would help him. I hope we can raise enough, so that we can organize these issues for him.

I would really appreciate it, if you would help me to support Hassan! The situation became worse in Yemen and he is so weak and becomes always thinner. Also because of missing good and healthy food which is rare available and even really expensive in these days. For having simple food without luxury things (like vegetables, fish or meat), he needs around $13 daily. So every little amount you can donate would help to give him new hope despite this serious disease and also improve his quality of life as it’s possible in war! Be sure it will safely reach him!

Even any other way to help him would be great and I would really appreciate that.

You can always contact me or Hassan through this campaign, if you have any further questions.

Thanks from my heart,

Kate ❤️
