Zeyad’s story
8-year-old Zeyad was full of life and energy. That all changed when he was diagnosed with chronic rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease, which has no cure.
Zeyad’s parents, originally from Egypt, and their three boys have called Dubai home for almost a decade. His father works hard to provide for their family but with limited funds they are unable to afford the boy’s lifelong medical expenses. The condition is taking a toll on Zeyad’s health. It causes severe inflammation and pain to his joints, making it difficult for him to move around freely. He needs medication to manage the symptoms and reduce the progression of the disease.
Zeyad loves going to school and enjoys doing class activities with his classmates. Before his diagnosis his favourite pastime was playing football with his brothers.
Zeyad’s parents are hopeful that his condition can be managed successfully with the right medication “we look forward to our son regaining his strength and living pain-free”.
