My cousin needs urgent financial and surgical help ASAP to survive. Save and direct a lost soul.

Auckland

My cousin needs your help. He is a young and bright 20 years old who dreams of becoming a doctor. After being forcefully recruited by the Iraqi Army, he was given guns and armour along with 100s of other young kids to protect their neighborhood against ISIS. With no war experience and so little training, he was injured in an explosion and was very lucky to survive. He needs urgent help to get to Turkey for orthopedic surgery and then look to start a new life for himself and his family afterwards. His family includes a sister and mother, and his father was believed to be killed by Al-Qaeda members.

He is currently unable to do this, due to the medical and financial struggle of the whole population in Iraq.

The total cost of the trip and operation is $8K but $5K is the dream goal and the rest I will manage.

If you’re keen to help, please donate to this page. Every little bit helps. Thank you.

He is my little cousin and it would break my heart to see him die at such a young age because there was nothing I could do about it.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
