Muhamed sustained shrapnel in his buttock in air strikes in Mosul in March 2017. He  was in constant pain and not sleeping well when Darya, our pharmacist friend, contacted me to ask if Operation Hope could fund the surgery required to remove the shrapnel.

Funds from the Operation Hope Christmas appeal paid for the USD700 surgery.

The photo shows the size of the shrapnel removed – no wonder Muhamed was in pain.

Thank you for your generous donations to this successful surgery.
