Mohammed Wadi (38 years old) has been suffering for the past eight months from Castleman Disease, a very rare illness in the Gaza Strip. It is classified among tumor-related diseases affecting the lymph nodes, which has led to a serious and rapidly deteriorating health condition.

Mohammed, a father of three, endures daily suffering due to the disease. He suffers from severe anemia causing extreme and persistent fatigue, in addition to intense coughing and body tremors resulting from the illness. He has also experienced significant weight loss and general weakness, limiting his ability to move normally and live his life as usual.

As a result, he has lost the ability to work, leaving his family without a stable source of income to meet their growing needs amid harsh living conditions.

Moreover, Mohammed faces great difficulty securing suitable housing for himself and his family after their home was destroyed during the war. He is currently living in a dilapidated room that is particularly unsuitable given his fragile health condition, which requires proper shelter.

Mohammed does not suffer alone; his children watch him weaken before their eyes, unable to play with them or embrace them as he once did, while they remain powerless to save him in the midst of severe humanitarian conditions and limited treatment options.

Mohammed received an official medical referral for treatment abroad at the time of diagnosis. However, he has not been able to travel due to border closures and travel restrictions, preventing him from completing his treatment, especially in light of the severe shortage of medical resources inside Gaza.

Doctors have warned that continued delay in accessing appropriate treatment will significantly worsen his condition. They stress that he urgently needs treatment abroad at a specialized hospital to receive the necessary care and save his life.

After this detailed explanation of Mohammed’s tragic and rare case, the question remains: How can you help?

Mohammed urgently needs financial support to cover:

• Medication and drug costs — $1,000 per month
• Transportation to the hospital — $300 per month
• Medical bed — $1,000
• Travel coordination expenses for Mohammed and his family — $15,000
• Special dietary needs for Mohammed — $400 per month
• Family necessities (food, clothing, and basic supplies) — $800 per month
• Children’s education expenses — $300 per month

Monthly rent — $700 per month
