A donor sponsored the payment of 8954 dirhams, the cost of treating the child (Thaier) in Shakhbout Medical City in Abu Dhabi.

And the “hotline” coordinated between the donor and the Department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities in Dubai, to transfer the value of the donation to the patient’s account in the hospital.

On the ninth of this month, Emirates Al-Youm published the story of Thaer’s suffering, due to his father’s inability to cover the amount required for treatment.

Abu Thaer expressed his happiness and deep thanks to the donor, appreciating his standing with him in light of the circumstances he is going through.

The child is 11 years old, and he is a Palestinian, and he suffers from difficulty in speaking, which puts many obstacles in his way, and prevents him from continuing his life normally.

According to a report from Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, he needs special treatment, in addition to rehabilitation sessions, with a total cost of 8,954 dirhams.

The father told Emirates Today that Thaer is a person of determination and has had difficulty speaking since birth.

He added: «I discovered that he had a delay in speech when he was five years old, as the teachers were facing great difficulty in dealing with him, so I admitted him to several hospitals, hoping to put an end to his problem. After examining him in a hospital, it turned out that he had a lump in the nose, so we performed surgery on him, but the problem did not end here as we expected, but its symptoms continued.

The father added: «I transferred him to another hospital, and following an audiogram and a vision examination, they confirmed to me that he had a genetic problem in hearing. In the recent period, I transferred him to Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, and following examination and medical diagnosis, it became clear that he suffers from difficulty in speaking, and a severe delay in it, and he needs pronunciation, communication and communication sessions, the cost of which is 8954 dirhams.

The father indicated that the cost of treatment far exceeds his financial capabilities, explaining that he is the sole breadwinner for his family, which consists of 10 members, and he works in a private entity with a salary of 4,800 dirhams, of which he pays 2,300 dirhams per month for the rent of the house.
