They suffer from a genetic disease from birth

A donor takes care of the food for the two brothers, "Yasser" and "Sheikha"

A donor sponsored the cost of the special food needed by the two siblings (Yasser - five years old) and (Sheikha - two years) for one year, at 72,000 dirhams, as they suffer from maple disease, which is a genetic disease that they have had since birth, and represents a threat to vital body systems .

The "hotline" coordinated between the donor and the Department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities in Dubai, to transfer the donation amount to the account of patients at Tawam Hospital.

Yesterday, Emirates Today published the story of the two children’s suffering with illness, and their father’s inability to pay the amount of treatment they needed.

The father expressed his happiness and his deep thanks to the donor, and his stance with him in light of the circumstances he is going through, indicating that this stance brought back joy and smiles to him and his wife.

The father of the two children told Al-Emarat Al-Youm the story of their suffering, saying: “After the birth of (Yasser), doctors told me that he suffers from a genetic disease called Maple's urine disease, which may lead to other health problems, including a kidney syndrome that (Yasser) had suffered and became afflicted with him. Very difficult pain ».

He added, "Doctors have confirmed that he needs special nutritional supplements, at a cost of 3343 dirhams per month, for an indefinite period, and may be for life."

He continued: “God blessed me with my daughter (sheikha), and she was also suffering after her birth like her brother’s illness, and she was admitted to Tawam Hospital, to show her to the same doctors who are following the condition of her brother (Yasser), and it was found that she needs a diet at a monthly cost of 2,677 dirhams, for a period also determined by the doctors. The problem is that the health insurance card does not cover it. ”

The father said, "My financial capabilities are very modest, and their monthly cost is 6020 dirhams, a total of 36 thousand and 120 dirhams for six months."

He added, "I am the only breadwinner for my family of two children and my wife, and I work in a private sector institution with a salary of 4,500 dirhams, of which 2,000 dirhams go per month to rent the house, and the rest is for life’s expenses and requirements, in light of the high cost of living and high prices."
