Summary
Background
Yamen Ihab Al-Halou is a young child who was diagnosed with a serious kidney condition within the first week of his life. He suffers from Bartter syndrome, a condition that causes severe salt loss from the kidneys, alongside additional health complications affecting his overall wellbeing. Since infancy, Yamen has required intensive and consistent medical care. His condition demands strict daily treatment, including multiple medications taken several times a day, in order to maintain his health and prevent serious complications. However, access to this treatment is extremely limited. The medication he depends on is often unavailable through public healthcare services, and when it can be found, it is costly and difficult for his family to afford. Without consistent access to his medication, Yamen’s condition quickly deteriorates. He experiences severe symptoms that can lead to hospitalisation, placing further strain on both his health and his family.
Aims
Children living with chronic medical conditions require consistent and uninterrupted access
to treatment in order to survive and maintain their health.
For Yamen, his medication is not optional — it is essential. Without it, his condition worsens
rapidly, affecting his growth, his strength, and his overall development.
Yamen requires ongoing medication, including potassium, calcium, and other essential
treatments, taken multiple times daily.
The cost of maintaining his treatment is approximately £420 per week, making it extremely
difficult for his family to sustain.
This appeal aims to help cover these critical medical costs, ensuring that Yamen can
continue receiving the treatment he needs to stay stable and avoid further complications.
