Dear supporters of Karma's thalassemia project in Lebanon,
I hope this all finds you well and you are having a good summer.
This is to give you an update on Karma's work with children with thalassemia in Lebanon. The last months were not easy, Karma does currently not have any institutional funds and is dependant on private donations and fundraising events to be able to sustain a minimal support for our cohort of patients.
We tried our best mainly by giving free consultations to patients, referring them to specialised doctors and covering the blood infusions for the most vulnerable among them. We also collaborated with ANERA to provide deferoxamine (iron chelation therapy) for the patients, This is the minimum possible support that Karma seeks to provide for its patients.
We are also enforcing our fundraising strategy and efforts to hopefully be able to provide more comprehensive services in the near future.
In these difficult times, we are extremely grateful for your support and dedication to our cause.
Thanks from the bottom of our heart from the Karma team and our patients and their family!
