Palmyra Relief is Changing Lives: "It Feels Like I Have My Legs Back!"

Palmyra Relief is Changing Lives: “It Feels Like I Have My Legs Back!”

It’s the story of two boys whose lives have been touched by unspeakable tragedy.

هذه صورة الطفل محمود حربلية، قبل وبعد تركيب الطرف الصناعي. ابتسامته هي الأمل الوحيد الذي يوحي بالمستقبل. شكرا من القلب لكل من ساهم ماديا ومعنويا برسم الفرحة مجددا على وجه محمود.

Thank you to all who supported our past fundraising events for Mahmoud. In March 2016, 70 people joined us for an event, which raised £3,500 to help get a prosthetic arm for Mahmoud. He lost his arm in Aleppo, in the bombing that is a tragic part of Syria’s ongoing conflict.

Palmyra Relief successfully coordinated with Dogan Medikal in Mersin, Turkey.  Dogan has a healthcare centre whose services focus around the provision and fitting of prosthetic limbs.

During September 2018, Palmyra Relief discussed the case of Mahmud Harbalyie with Dogan Medikal and negotiated a quote for the provision of the prosthetic arm for Mahmud (who is now 8 years old).  The fitting of the prosthesis cost 13,000 Euros (this also includes hospital stays and psychological therapy sessions).  An additional 5,000 Euros cover a follow-up period of 5 years to adjust the limb as Mahmud grows.

Please help us with Mahmud’s continued support, therapy, and rehabilitation.

Here are photos of Mahmud Harbalyie before and after Palmyra Relief helped with his prosthetic arm. His smile is hope for the future. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts to all who contributed directly and indirectly to his beautiful smile.

This is Mahmoud. He’s five years old.

He lived in Aleppo, Syria.

He lost his arm in Aleppo, in the bombing that is a tragic part of Syria’s ongoing conflict.

An arm is not all Mahmoud lost. This precious little boy is also an orphan.

Every pound or dollar helps.
