Update: The campaign ended successfully and money was raised to help Simon fight his illness.
Simon Badaoui is a young man and Red Cross volunteer from Batroun who used to go to my school, whose brother was my classmate and who got diagnosed with leukemia four years ago.
Today, Simon Badaoui is in a critical condition that requires a bone marrow transplant in order to save his life. His brother is a match. The only problem is that this family of seven does not have the required hefty resources to secure such an operation at one of the country’s only facilities to do such a treatment: AUBMC.
Simon’s friends are, therefore, gathering to help him by trying to come up with the funds required to save his life. We are told sometimes that we are fools to think we can change outcomes. This is not the case. Every dime counts to let us save this 23 year old’s life. The smallest thing can make all the difference, each within their means.
The following is an online fundraiser link for Simon. Check it out (link). I will update this post with bank account numbers when I receive them. Simon has been bravely fighting leukemia ever since he was 19 years old. You can literally save his life with a few clicks.
