I did not expect, and all the members of the working group shared with me, that we would be able, in the “hotline” in the newspaper, to collect the amount of treatment for the Syrian girl, Munira, who is three months old. We never expected that to happen within a very few hours. Whoever published the story of her dangerous genetic disease, we were hoping to find donors for her within a month or more, as the amount is not simple!

It is exactly eight million dirhams, these millions are the value of only one needle, in which a therapeutic drug is given to children under the age of two, and for one time, an amount difficult to provide from the father of the child who receives 8,000 dirhams per month, but what happened was really a dream, the girl’s father was It is believed that it will not be achieved one day, but it is thanks to God, then sincere men who love goodness with great love from the people of the Emirates. The entire amount was saved in hours, and hope returned to Munira to remain in this life.

Four companies, two of which are private (Emirates Islamic Bank, provided four million dirhams, and Dubai Islamic Bank, provided two million dirhams), and two quasi-governmental companies (Dubai International Financial Center, which provided one million dirhams, and Wasl Real Estate provided one million dirhams), joined forces and came to the rescue «Munira », And ended her suffering, and gave her a new hope that she would live her life like any other child, growing up, having fun, playing, eating and drinking, because if she did not receive this therapeutic drug during this period, she would never find a treatment, and she would die quickly, according to the doctors who follow such as These are complex and difficult cases.

This is the Emirates, for those who do not know it, a single approach that everyone can follow, individuals and institutions, governmental or quasi-governmental or private sectors, the approach of goodness and the relief of the needy, and when it comes to humanitarian and charitable work, everyone gives, and everyone cooperates, to help those who need help, it is the approach Which was established by the leadership of the Emirates, as it is the example that instilled in the souls of its children the love of goodness, and the love of man, regardless of his gender, nationality, color and religion, and this matter is not just slogans that we raise, but a clear behavior that we see as a practical reality represented in many situations, and perhaps this position with the child Munira is the closest and most recent example of the dedication of the people of the Emirates and their love for charitable and humanitarian work.

Yes, it is true that those who donated and hastened to provide support, aid and assistance to "Munira", are private and semi-governmental companies, but there are men who have stood behind this matter, men who do not seek from their position this only remuneration and pure reward, and they only want to spread goodness and spread smiles on The face of every sad person, to these people all thanks, appreciation and respect, and for them we convey love and thanks to that little girl who is unable to thank them now, for she is not aware of anything that happened, but she will definitely remember what happened throughout her life.
