Help us send a student to get a life saving surgery!

About the situation

As part of Barakat's school programs we send a doctor to the school's in both countries twice a year to give the students check ups and to help treat any medical conditions that would normally keep the student from going to school. At the most recent doctor visit to Mullah Krim Nazar School, it was discovered that a student named Melad has a heart defect that requires surgery for treatment. Luckily for Melad, his case was picked up by Red Crescent that will be covering all of the expenses associated with the surgery itself, but he needs to raise money to be able to register for the surgery.

Melad is from Babay Khoja Village in the Andkhoy District in Afghanistan. Due to his parent's financial situation they have come to us to help them to raise the necessary $2,000 to be able to register Melad for his surgery. We won't have a date for the surgery until the fundraising goal is met. The teacher's at Melad's school have also been working to raise funds so the more money we raise the less they need to try and come up with.
