AMEER’s STORY

Ameer is a 30 year old young man who is fully paralyzed and is the single parent to three children. Ameer used to install public signages for events as a daily-paid job. In an unfortunate incident in 2013, Ameer suffered an electric shock on the job and was immediately moved to the intensive care unit (ICU). Ameer became temporarily paralyzed in light of the incident, but with intensive treatment, he returned back to normal after two years in 2015. He worked as a sanitary engineer (street sweeper) in the following years and was able to provide for his family. 

Yet, around 8 months ago in Summer of 2021, the neurological ramifications of Ameer’s previous incident started to reappear. Ameer had a seizure that was so strong it left him completely paralyzed and unable to move or speak - also causing serious damage to his cognitive functions. Since then, Ameer needs to be monitored 24/7 for his vitals and taken care of for his feeding and bathroom needs.

Jamila, Ameer’s mother, is a 58 year old lady who works in house cleaning. After Ameer got paralyzed, she stopped working and took him in along with his children - where they all now live in a small, humble home. 

Even when she was working, Jamila could hardly make ends meet with the bare minimum wage she made. Her husband, Ameer’s father, suffers from schizophrenia and other serious neurological issues and hence is unable to work. Jamila is now the single caretaker of a household of 8, including: her husband, Ameer, Ameer’s 2 siblings, and Ameer’s 3 children. As a consequence, Ameer’s mother is shouldering a huge financial burden with virtually little to no income. Unfortunately, the family is unable to provide for Ameer’s crucial medical and nutritional requirements that are extremely important for his health.
