Jonh F. Kennedy the 35th US President quoted that “Children are the world’s most valuable resource and best hope for the future” thus we have to provide them with all the love, care and protection they needed. KASSIM AMIN KASSIM ALI HAMANH, a five year old boy residing in our village here in Hais City, had blurred future due to his pain.
Kassim is the youngest of 8 siblings, for five years he is suffering from pain and makes it difficult for him to move. He cannot stand alone and cries whenever urinating.
His father with the same name, Kassim, brought his son to ADRA Hais office for help. Our team decided to refer him to AL – Aquasa Hospital in Hodeida for diagnosis, laboratory test, X-ray and Ultrasound. The result showed that this boy has single large
bladder stone which is 20mm and in need of cystolithotomy to remove it. This procedure will cost 50,000YR (250.00USD) excluding post surgery medication, hospital bills and Doctor’s fees.
Being the sole breadwinner of the family, Kassim (the father) was helpless to have the surgery for his son. His income from selling vegetables in the market is not enough to sustain the needs of his family. He said, they have to tighten their belts to make their both ends meet. He relies to Allah and from the intervention of ADRA.
The five years suffering came to an end on May 25,2009. Our CBR Coordinator, Abdullah assisted the father and s
on “Kassim” in Al-Aquasa Hospital for surgery. They spent two days and one night 
in the hospital;on the third day the boy walked in the office carrying small bottle with his stone inside.
The father and son are very grateful to ADRA and to Allah for this blessing.
“Sa’aadati kaamilat” My happiness is complete says the boy Kassim. His smile radiate all the possibility of having brighter future for him and his family. Thanks to ADRA....
