Help a Somali bro with MS [gofundme]

Post by Itrah »

Image
Ibrahim Osman (also goes by Abe), is a good friend of mine. When he was 16 years old he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. He is now 27 years old and has been in a wheelchair for the last 4 years of his life.

He never told many people of his diagnosis because he was always the one looking after others, always generous and kind; he did not want others to pity him. Behind many peoples knowledge he under went many procedures in places like Kenya and Egypt, seeking medical help.

Abe currently has the option to have a procedure done in Germany that is said to be very promising and involves chemotherapy and stem cells. He is strong and courageous and willing to participate but it costs $80,000 to do.

Ibrahim is still young and should have a long life to live. He loves his family and friends and wants to see his nieces and nephews grow up, they are the world to him. I have never met anyone else who cares so much about others, he travelled around the world to seek medical help but ended up helping others instead. He gave up his own clothes to children in poverty who needed it more than him. That is the type of person we need to keep on this Earth.

Please help Abe out today. He has a long journey ahead of him to save up for this procedure, but I would like to see him save up money much faster. Every $1 counts. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.

*Please find it in your heart to think about him and pray for him. You may also share this post and can use the hashtag: #JourneytoAbesRecovery


If you want to you can also do an email money transfer directly to Abe. This way you can still donate even if you don't have a credit card (there is a debit option), and all proceeds go directly to him. There is a small percentage for processing using this website, so this is an alternative option: abeosman@gmail.com. Thank you again for taking the time to read this and for all your love and support.
Drop some change on his gofundme. :up:

So black people do get MS. :| I remember I was taught when I was young that it was a genetic disease that only affected people of European descent. I guess they were wrong. Or is it possible most blacks that get it have some European ancestors.
