Jaber’s Painful Struggle—A Story That Needs a Different Ending

For years, Jaber Belal has carried burdens no young man should ever have to bear.

At just 20 years old, he has endured immense pain from a severe spinal condition, all while struggling to provide for his family after losing his father to war. His dream? To become a pharmacist—so he can help others heal. 

Alhamdulillah, with the kindness of generous donors like you, we have raised $15,000 to get Jaber the critical spinal surgery he needs in India.

But now, we need your help to take the next big step—getting him there and ensuring he fully recovers.

✅ What We’ve Already Covered

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve already secured funding for:

✅ $10,000 – Life-saving spinal surgery (5-day hospital stay included)

✅ $5,000 – Flights and visa fees for Jaber and his family

Total Raised: $15,000

❌ What We Still Need to Raise

But Jaber’s journey to recovery isn’t complete yet. We still need:

❌ $5,000 – Critical rehabilitation to help him regain strength

❌ $7,000 – Accommodation in India, medication, and post-op care in India

❌ $8,000 – Support for his studies and continued medication in Yemen

Total Needed: $20,000

Jaber Needs You Now: Here’s Why

Without this urgent funding, Jaber may never get the chance to live the life he deserves—one free from constant pain and full of opportunity. He has fought so hard to hold onto hope, but without our help, that hope may slip away.

Every day that passes without treatment is another day of suffering, another day his dreams remain just out of reach. His condition is worsening, and without this surgery, he faces a lifetime of pain, immobility, and financial hardship.

Jaber and His Family’s Life: Without Surgery vs. With Surgery

Without Surgery

🔹 Constant, unbearable pain

🔹 Limited mobility, struggling to walk

🔹 Unable to work or provide for family

🔹 Dreams slipping away due to illness

🔹 Family struggling financially

After Surgery

🔹 Free from pain, able to move with ease

🔹 Walking confidently towards his future

🔹 Pursuing his career as a pharmacist

🔹 A bright future full of possibilities

🔹 Jaber can fund their education and secure their future

🔹 Stability and hope restored

You’ve already made a world of difference in Jaber’s brother’s life…

Over the years, Good Deed Charity has transformed countless lives, including that of Yusef: Jaber’s little brother.

Just a few months ago, Yousef’s fragile body told a story of severe malnutrition and unimaginable pain. His bones protruded through his skin, and doctors gave his family the devastating news that he had only a year to live.

Yusef’s pain was unbearable, causing him to cry and scream in agony. When we first met him, he broke down in tears, sharing his fears and struggles with us.

But because of you—the compassionate supporters who believe in our mission—Yusef’s story didn’t end there. Your donations turned despair into hope, saving not just his life but also his future. Today, Yusef is thriving. He has fully recovered, attends school, and is chasing dreams that once seemed out of reach. 

However, one challenge remains: Jaber’s condition.

Without their father, Yusef depends entirely on his older brother, Jaber, for financial support and a life with dignity.

Providing for his treatment now is vital—not just for Jaber’s survival, but for the future of these brothers, their little sister, and their widowed mother, who has endured so much to care for her children.

About Good Deed Charity

Good Deed Charity was co-founded by Dr Mohammed Alazani, father of 6, and a distinguished cardiovascular surgeon in Germany. Dr. Mohammed is originally from Yemen, and he took it upon himself to help the people of his country.

At first alone, then with a group of his medical colleagues. In 2019, he realized he could do much more with a registered charity and local office in Yemen and established Good Deed Charity.

By funding the administrative costs associated with running a charity through his own pockets and with the help of his colleagues, Good Deed Charity has maintained a 0% Admin Fee Policy ensuring your donations make the greatest impact.

Today, Good Deed Charity is one of only 2 charities in Europe that has a registered office in Yemen.

For this reason, we have a dedicated delivery team that knows how to navigate the country in order to facilitate local relief operations in Yemen on behalf of other big charities such as:

We are also registered as a nonprofit organization in the United Kingdom (tax-deductible) exclusively focused on supporting the needy in Yemen.

Having a local office in Yemen allows us to provide our supporters with full transparency through videos and photos highlighting the direct impact of your donations on an on-going basis. At the same time, none of your donations are being redirected towards middlemen to provide any services.
