"While participating in a KSrelief voluntary medical campaign in Morocco, I met a woman who came from a city located about a six-hour drive from the city where the campaign was being implemented.
When she found out about the initiative KSrelief was implementing to provide open-heart surgeries for children, the woman traveled the long distance hoping that the medical team could help her four-month-old baby girl, who needed urgent surgical intervention to live.
After listening to the anxious mother’s story, I spoke with the medical team, who immediately agreed to see the baby; the next day, they performed heart surgery on her, and, thankfully, it was successful!
That incident had a great impact on me. Now I realize that nothing compares to the feeling we get when we are able to help those in need – and that sometimes we can even help save a life! "
