Help Gabrielle to breathe
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
My name is Samir Berkachy, and I have created this page to request financial assistance for a life-saving drug that is urgently required for my best friend's sister Gabrielle Tony Imad, in Lebanon. Due to the current economic crisis in Lebanon, obtaining medicines is extremely challenging. Gabrielle has cystic fibrosis and she is facing digestive problems (atrophic pancreas) in addition recently she is facing shortness of breath and progressive disease in her lungs.
Managing this genetic disease progression and keeping Gabrielle healthy requires ongoing medical care, including genetic treatments such as Trixacar, which can assist in preventing her lungs from damage and avoiding lungs transplant that can be caused by her chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Treating her with Trixacar can change her life and prevent her from dying. It will replace the work of genes. However, this
treatment comes at a high cost in addition to the other medicines required, by approximately $8,000 per month for (Medicines, hospital visits, and other related expenses such as Pulmozyme inhaler, Tobramycine inhaler, Creon 25000 U.I, ADEK vitamins, and antibiotics). Living with cystic fibrosis can be challenging, and the cost of
treatment is a constant struggle, especially in a conflict country like Lebanon.
I am humbly requesting your support by donating to assist Gabrielle in covering the cost of her medical treatment (trixacar). Your contribution can significantly impact her life and allows her to continue a normal life. Gabrielle’s father has passed away and her sister has passed away from the same disease that affected her liver, so we can all help Gabrielle from progressive lung damage and live normally by collecting the price of the treatment for several years. Besides, her family cannot afford this high cost required all her lifetime.
This new medication ( trixacar ), the first of its kind, offers Gabrielle a chance to lead a healthy and long life, and it has been proven effective in several studies and it's called the miracle drug. Trikafta, Kaftrio, or Trixacar are the recommended treatments that can significantly enhance her respiratory function.
However, the high cost of these treatments, which must be continued for several years, has made it challenging for her family to afford them. We appreciate any assistance you can provide for this young girl whose respiratory function is declining. Please share this post with your friends and family to spread the word and help Gabrielle get the care she requires.
If you are in Lebanon, or you are unable to donate through this page, and would like to help, you can contribute to her treatment through WishMoney, OMT or Western Union using the account Gabrielle Toni Imad
