Her medical treatment is going spectacularly well. She's a strong, brave and agile child, and doctors at Shriners Hospital believe she will be walking again soon with the aid of double prosthesis. Abdul Hakeem will soon travel back to Pittsburgh for follow-up surgical treatment. You can help provide assistance and care for other Iraqi children by donating to No More Victims.

We discovered that securing a reliable supply of insulin is extremely difficult in Iraq. Even when supplies are available, lack of electricity (and hence refrigeration) cause it to quickly lose its efficacy. We sent a shipment of insulin to Fallujah in June and have the ability to send medical supplies to a number of western provinces in Iraq; also to areas of southern Iraq. You can help send medical supplies by donating to No More Victims.

Cluster bombs and missiles rained down on the home, killing 31 people including 17 children and the bride. Shaymaa, still an infant, was paralyzed from the waist down. High school students in Boston learned about Shaymaa's plight and mobilized to help her. They held bake sales to raise funds, and No More Victims had a wheelchair delivered to Shaymaa. Funds raised by the students continue to help meet her needs via a monthly stipend. Now similar projects are being developed at other high schools and at Boston College, Harvard University, and Northeastern. If you know of a college or high school group that would like to participate, please let us know. We will be working to organize dozens of these initiatives come September.
