The Story

32 months ago

You might wonder who am I? I am Naeel.

I was born with this disability and no one knows how hard it is to live with it.
I started to walk late and it was difficult to only do that. This disability is also the reason why I couldn't go to school and mix with other children. I can’t run like any normal child, nor play, nor even sleep normally.

This nightmare is called congenital scoliosis with progressive back deformity. Doctors plan to do a spinal fixation surgery that aims to stop deformity progression.

My parents talked with many doctors and all of them agreed to say that the curvature of the spine progresses very fast and that I need urgent medical intervention or else, I might face vertebrae fractures and breathing difficulty because of the pressure on the column, it affects the functional performance of the lungs.

The physician's diagnosis says that I need to get a pull technique for the spine for a period of two months, which will help to give better results after the operation. After that, I will be able to get the surgery itself.

First operation: gravity traction for 2 months

Second operation: deformity correction surgery

My family doesn’t have enough money to afford the whole surgery. The cost of the operation is extremely expensive.

All I can dream of now is to live as a normal child.
