Hello,

I am khaoula, I am from Morocco and I decided to set up this fundraising page for my little brother who is 19 years old and suffers from a severe deviated septum that blocked his breathing due to a traumatic accident when he was a kid at school, my brother at around 7 years old got his nose broken and was bleeding all over and yet the school did not inform my parents nor did they take him to the hospital to solve the solution, the nurse simply put a cream to calm the swelling. Over time, as he has been growing up, his nose got noticeable crooked and then discovered that he has been living with a broken nose, because of this he has been suffering from severe complications such as difficulties in breathing, facial pressure, constant terrible headaches since the oxygen cannot reach his brain properly nor all his body parts, he cannot focus or think properly and has dizziness episodes that repeats themselves constantly, he cannot sleep at night properly and has developed sleep apnea. Now at the age of 19, his nose is completely blocked and cannot breathe from it one airway is blocked by a bone and the other one by nasal pockets, he only breathes from his mouth 24h and has to pause and take a breath each time he talks or eats to catch a breath from his mouth then eat or talk and because of constantly breathing from his mouth he developed chronic sinusitis. Because my family does not have the financial resources to pay for the surgery, and because when I recently talked to my family I have been told that my brother stopped breathing completely even from his mouth and could not move or respond to anything…I got shocked and I would not want something bad to happen to him or for this condition to worsen because of the lack of financial resources to perform the surgery and decided to set up this page in the hope of raising the amount needed for paying for his surgery that must be done as soon as possible. I wanted to share a video of him trying to explain the situation himself because he is the only one who can really express his suffering with this condition, but when I asked him to do so, he refused because he feels ashamed to be exposed publicly on the internet and ask for donations, while I myself feel very uncomfortable doing this, I am still writing it since it’s an emergency and I would not want anything bad to happen to my little brother, I hope I can reach as many people as possible to help with whatever you have and whatever you are able to donate because even the smallest amount could make a big difference, and last but not least I really appreciate and thank you from the deep of my heart for taking the time to read the story of my little brother and God bless you all.

UPDATE: 25/02/2023

I can't help but writing this update with my heart broken into a million pieces and tears pouring down my face... Today, after my brother has undergone a scanner examination, the doctor has found out that his condition has developed to a much advanced stage and that not only he needs one surgery but four besides one year of extensive treatment to treat the acute sinusitis that has now spread all over his face, the doctor has told my mum that this has reached a very dangerous and a life-threatening stage...The cost of the first surgery is 14.000 MAD which is around 1400$, however the doctor has not precised yet the cost of the three others plus the one year treatment, in any case I will write an update here about the total cost. He also stressed that if the surgeries and the treatment are not done asap, my brother is at high risk of losing his life because he is now at an advanced stage... I hope that whoever reads can help with anything with donating even if it's one dollar or sharing it to as many people as possible to help spread the message...I have also attached the results of the scanning exam and the diagnosis so you can check it out.
