Help Meseret - Victim of Irresponsible Driving
Press Release - On November 26, 2007, Meseret G.
Mekonnen, a Laboratory Technician student at the Alkan Medical College
in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, was on a bus trip back to school, up on
completion of her internship and final year project program. On this
trip, Meseret faced a horrific accident that changed her life
completely. The bus she was traveling on crashed; the crash was so
severe that most passengers died instantly. Meseret was among the few
lucky survivors.
When this accident occurred, Meseret was eagerly
awaiting the completion of her studies as a medical professional, to
finally be able to help her family that was desperately waiting on her.
It is at this crucial moment that she faced the awful accident. Meseret
says “…all my goals became shattered glasses…” when the accident
occurred. (She was not able to graduate.)
The horror continued
for Meseret and her family, as her brother was killed by gangsters at
the Ethiopia-Djibouti border a few months after her accident. Her
mother, who hadn’t recovered from her daughter’s accident, got a heart
attack and passed away after she heard the death of her only son.
The
Doctors at the Tikur Anbessa General Hospital in Addis Ababa told her
that she needed a medical treatment in the west – get prosthetic hands.
She then was able to come to the United States. Since she obviously is
unable to perform the most basic things, her sister was assigned as a
guardian for her during her stay in the United States.
The total
cost of implanting prosthetic hands, as estimated by Hanger Prosthetic
and Orthopedics in San Jose, CA is $134,461.38. She has nothing close
to this amount. So, you are kindly requested to consider her situation
and make a donation. You may directly donate using PayPal , send Money
Order, Check, or wire directly to her Bank account. You can also help
in spreading her story and suggesting any ideas you think will help her
situation. Any help is appreciated.
Please help Meseret reclaim her dreams.
