Help Patrick Win His Battle Against Cancer
Help Patrick Win His Battle Against Mixed Germ Cell Tumor. تجدون ملخّصًا عن رحلة باتريك مع المرض بعد النّصّ المكتوب باللّغة الإنكليزيّة Hi everyone, This is Mariella, a very close friend of Patrick's sister. I'm reaching out to share Patrick's journey and ask for your support during this tough challenge. Patrick Hachem, the 17 year old determined and resilient boy, full of life and energy, was diagnosed in February 2023 with a right testicular germ cell tumor, for which he underwent complete surgical resection and treatment. In March 2024, he had disease recurrence in the right retroperitoneum, which was completely resected. In August 2024, he had a relapse in the liver, which was also completely resected. Patrick's family decided to seek out the opinion of Dr. Raphah Borghol at AUBMC. Pathology analyses reviewed at AUBMC and Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital, USA, confirmed the diagnosis of mixed malignant germ cell neoplasm. The tumor consisted of both mature and immature teratomatous elements, in addition to yolk sac tumor. Following expert consultation with Dr. Carlos Rodriguez-Galindo from St. Jude, Memphis, Patrick requires High-dose chemotherapy using the TI-CE protocol. This regimen consists of 2 cycles of paclitaxel and ifosfamide (each cycle lasting 14 days), followed by 3 cycles of high-dose carboplatin with etoposide. After each carboplatin-etopiside cycle, Patrick will undergo TANDEM AUTOLOGOUS STEM CELL TRANSPLANTS (one per cycle). Treatment was initiated on January 2, 2025. The tandem stem cell transplants are scheduled for February, March and April 2025. The total cost of the 3 bone marrow transplants is $75,000 as per attached statement. CCCL is going to cover the costs of care at CCI, but they do not cover bone marrow transplant procedures, which is the treatment that Patrick needs to receive for his recurrent disease. Therefore, i've started this fundraising campaign to help Patrick and his family with the expenses of the transplants. Time is critical and Patrick needs our immediate support. Please help me spread the word and please remember that every penny counts. Patrick, his family, his friends and all his loved ones have high hopes for this treatment, so please let us join forces to help this modest loving family win that battle. Thank you for standing by us and for showing us your love and support. We are very grateful for each and everyone of you. With gratitude and love, Mariella ♡ رسالة إلى أصحاب القلوب المُحِبّة والمعطاءة وأصحاب النّوايا الحسنة. خلال شهر شباط ٢٠٢٣، تمّ تشخيص إصابة باتريك هاشم، ابن ال١٥ عامًا في حينه، بورم الخلايا الجرثوميّة. على الرّغم من استئصال الورم، عاوده المرض خلال شهر آذار ٢٠٢٤ في الغشاء البطني وتمّ استئصاله بالكامل. خلال شهر آب ٢٠٢٤، عاوده المرض، في الكبد هذه المرّة، واستؤصل الورم مجدّدًا. بعد مراجعة التّحاليل من قبل المركز الطّبّي في الجامعة الأميركيّة في بيروت ومستشفى ساينت جود في الولايات المتّحدة الأميركيّة، واستشارة الدّكتور كارلوس رودريغز-غاليندو في ساينت جود - أميركا، باتريك بحاجة إلى علاج كيميائي بجرعات عالية مقسّم على ٣ مراحل، تليه ٣ عمليّات زرع خلايا جذعيّة. تقرّر إجراء عمليّات الزّرع خلال أشهر شباط، آذار ونيسان ٢٠٢٥. التّكلفة الإجماليّة لعمليّات الزّرع الثّلاث هي ٧٥ ألف دولار أميركي (٢٥ ألف لكلّ عمليّة). سيقوم مركز سرطان الأطفال في لبنان بتغطية تكاليف العلاج في مركزهم، إلّا أنّه لا يغطّي تكاليف عمليّات الزّرع. حاولت العائلة اللّجوء إلى وسائل عديدة لتأمين تكاليف العمليّات دون جدوى، لذلك ارتأينا إنشاء حملة لجمع التّبرّعات. هذا العلاج هو أمل باتريك وعائلته وأصدقائه الأخير في القضاء والتّغلّب على المرض. رجائي أن نتعاون ونكثّف جهودنا في أدائنا لرسالتنا الإنسانيّة. أشكركم على دعمكم، مهما بلغت قيمته، وعلى كرمكم ومحبّتكم. مع محبّتي، مارييلا

Help Me Regain My Health and Independence
My name is Amer , and I’m reaching out because I desperately need your help to fight a health battle that’s taking over my life. I have a serious neck condition affecting the C5-C7 sections of my spine. The damaged discs are pressing on my nerves, causing unbearable pain, dizziness so severe it leads to fainting, blurry vision, and even problems with speech and balance. My daily reality is one of constant discomfort, and my nerves are being damaged more with each passing day. This condition isn’t just affecting my body—it’s taking away my ability to live a normal life. I can’t work to support myself, and I have no one to turn to for the urgent medical treatment I need. The longer I go without treatment, the worse my condition becomes, and I’m terrified that the damage might become permanent. To make matters worse, I also have a separate problem with my spine, adding to the pain and mobility challenges I face every day. Simple tasks like walking, concentrating, or even speaking clearly feel impossible some days. I’m not the type of person to ask for help lightly, but I’m at a point where I have no other choice. I need urgent medical care—diagnosis, treatments, and possibly surgery—to prevent my condition from worsening. But the costs are far beyond anything I can manage on my own. This is where I’m asking for your kindness. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward my medical treatment and recovery. Your support can give me the chance to regain my health, my independence, and my life. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing my story with others. The more people who hear about my situation, the closer I get to finding the help I need. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can provide. You have no idea how much it means to me.
