Salama’s story
2-month-old Salama’s parents were overjoyed to welcome a baby girl into the family after having had three wonderful sons. Sadly, their joy turned into despair when Salama was diagnosed with an extremely rare congenital heart deformity where her right superior vena cava drains into the left atrium.
It is a life-threatening condition and although Salama’s doctors put her on special medication immediately, she needs to undergo urgent heart surgery to give her the best chance of recovering.
Every member of Salama’s family was born in the UAE and has lived here their entire lives. Salama’s parents have limited financial resources and are unable to afford the operation and have appealed to the community to support their precious baby girl.
“Since Salama’s birth she has had great difficulty breathing, her blood oxygen levels drop and her little body turns blue and we have to rush her to the hospital. She is unable to sleep, she is not gaining weight, it’s heart-breaking to see her suffering like this. Her condition is deteriorating every day. By God’s grace this surgery will allow Salama to live a happy, healthy life and grow up strong. We are counting on your kindness and generosity to help save our special girl.”
