Campaign Story
Our loving dad had a brain stroke in his car. He was admitted to Cleveland Clinic Abudhabi on May 2nd.
He is in critical condition and needs immediate surgery!!
LABLU ISLAM, a doting father of three children (2 girls and one boy), a faithful husband of a loving mother, and an honest good human being.
Our dad, all his life, has been dedicated to make us happy and give us everything he could. Ever since he came to work in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Abudhabi, he has been doing his level best to provide a comfortable life for his family. He even tried to run his own business, however, fate was not on his side. Unfortunately he got into a traumatizing car accident that not only costed his life savings, but has also changed him completely. Problems after problems, incidents after incidents, dad was just struggling so hard all by himself, and became so stressed that he wasn't smiling anymore. He was the only breadwinner of the family, so the responsibility he was shouldering was just too much.
To make it all worse, our dad was a smoker. No matter how many times we tried discourage his smoking habits, he just never stopped. Ofcourse, he tried to quit... But smoking was his stress reliever in this life... And it was also his addiction...
Despite all the hell he has went through, he was successful to send his first daughter (Me) abroad, with the little money he had, to a Christian University in Taiwan. He supported my dreams of studying sustainable development, and it was hard for him to let me go....
My younger siblings still had to finish school, however due to COVID-19, they couldn't stay in UAE and had to move back to Bangladesh with mom to continue their studies, and it became too difficult for dad to support the family.
We all have been separated from eachother and are so far away from eachother. I am in Taiwan, my siblings and mom are in Bangladesh, and my dad's all alone in UAE barely surviving. Despite his health CLEARLY declining, he still prioritized us and decided to stay for another chance to run his own business. His love and sacrafices for us know no bounds...
On May 2nd we got the terrible news of his brain stroke.... We are really desperate here because he's not just the earning member of the family, he's pur father!! He's invaluable!! It hurts me that I can't even earn enough to pay for the surgery and the rehabilitation!!
I can only save enough to travel and see him myself. I miss him so much!!
On May 4th, doctors have notified us that they may need to go for a brain surgery, and even with an insurance, it might be expensive. Other than that, the operation may not be successful.... Although his heart rate is slowly stabilizing, his kidneys and other organs aren't improving.... He's condition is very critical...
Please, anyone, everyone. I call out to the world to help us. Help our family through this difficult time. I am the eldest sibling so I must act tough for my sibling's sake, but my heart can't bear this pain. Please donate, even if it's a dollar, even by sharing this online... Please help us....
The donation will be for the medical fees and rehabilitation processes. Any excess amount will be ether donated to others who need it, or other unexpected medical expenses and such.... Since I'm still in Taiwan, and the Visa process will take time, I'll be receiving your kind donations here. I will change the settings accordingly and will keep you updated.

He passed away...
Update posted by Sami Ayad at 08:56 pmOn March 29th, a couple of hours before midnight, Raha's father passed away peacefully. Thank you for your donations, prayers and support. All the donations will be spent on bringing his body back to Bangladesh where his funeral will be held. We really appreciate your support.
Stable Condition, but no improvement whatsoever
Update posted by Raha Islam at 02:54 pmUntil now, my dad still is in coma. I think of him every night... All his love and support, all his struggles and achievements... I just remember everything everyday. I miss him so much... I wish I have spent much more time with him.... For now, his condition is stable,. . . . .

Update posted by Sami Ayad at 04:49 amNo update until now. Stable condition, and no changes. Raha's father is still in a coma. If you're wondering about what's going on in the rehabilitation center her dad was transfered to, it's just to make sure he doesn't develop any more complications since he is not moving at all.. . . . .
End of March:

Thank you all for your prayers and kind support. Raha's father is still in a coma, however, according to my knowledge, the necessary procedures and surgeries have been done (i.e. tracheostomy). Her loving father has been transported to AMANA healthcare and rehabilitation hospital. All goods news, if you can even. . . . .
March 9: Stable but not hopeful
Update posted by Sami Ayad at 05:06 amThe doctors do not find any hope in recovery, although the heart rate is normal and the critical condition is stable. The problem is that the father is ventilator dependant, and his kidneys are failing. Doctors would not risk any type of operation until he gets better somehow. For now,
March 7: Dialysis & fluid suction
Update posted by Sami Ayad at 05:26 pmMarch 7: During the fluid suction procedure done in his lungs to get rid of the excess fluid, Raha's dad responded irritatingly. Most likely it's the body's response, but it still is a good sign. His heart's still beating, and the doctors are thinking of dialysis before preforming the brain
March 6: Surgery postponed
Update posted by Sami Ayad at 03:32 amRaha's dad's condition is not getting better. Although his heart is healthy and strong, his kidneys are getting weaker. The surgery has been called off and will be done after his kidneys improve as they need to regulate his blood pressure.Please everyone, pray for him 🙏🙏
