Hello,
My name is Lindsay Broockman. I was recently contacted by a family
friend (Susan Driver) who volunteered several years ago with the
Lebanese Welfare Association for the Handicapped to host a disabled
Lebanese girl, Zeinab Abou Dallah, and her mother in Philadelphia while
the girl received surgical care from an area hospital and recuperated.
(Her case is actually mentioned directly on the LWAH website
http://www.lwah.org.lb/cases.html.)
The family continues to live in Lebanon, and Zeniab's uncle, Ahmad
Alsaheli, was recently injured and lost his sight. The same
organization, LWAH
www.lwah.org.lb/home.html has arranged for Mr.
Alsaheli to receive surgery with the potential to restore his sight here
in Boston with the Boston Eye Group.
I was contacted by my family friend to see if I could help find a host
family for him to stay with while he recuperates. Mr. Alsaheli is 25 and
would be staying in the country for 2-4 months. Because he speaks little
English and will need to negotiate many cultural differences, I thought
he would be most comfortable staying with someone in the Boston Lebanese
community.
If you could please forward this message to members of your group, I
would most appreciate it. If anyone is interested, I will contact them
directly with the contact information for the family as well as for Mr.
Alsaheli's case manager for LWAH in Lebanon.
Thank you very much,
Lindsay Broockman
