A Fantastic Update from The Operation Hope Appeal

From Sheryll at Operation Hope

Our phone and email has been deluged with inquiries about the three points which I appealed in last week's email.  From there someone placed our requests on Instagram, Twitter and What'sapp.  From there the donations began to pour in - and I literally mean p-o-u-r! 

 

So, here's where we are, Kim.  The AC's have been purchased by a very generous Kuwaiti lady ... and have already been installed at the Sri Lankan Embassy shelter.  The wheelchair for Syed was also covered by the same Kuwaiti lady!  The donations for Jovineta, the Philippino lady who is paralyzed amounted to more than 500% more than we could have ever expected!!!  On top of that a second wheelchair request was presented to us by one of the Al Eassa Medical Supply Store staff ~ a little boy from the Philippines, whose family have been attempted to save enough for the WC for the past six months... We took that request to another Kuwaiti lady, who immediately covered the cost in full for it! 

 

 

LWDLIK - Great news! There are some superheros out there... Whoever you are ladies, YOU ROCK!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please Find it in Your Heart to Make a Donation to This Very Needy and Great Cause. God Bless You.

Beloved Friends and Family of Operation HOPE Kuwait ~ It is in a spirit of urgency for which this message is penned.  Recently it has come to our attention three urgent needs which your support would make the world of difference.  Please consider supporting one, two or all three of the following requests:

#1) An embassy shelter in Kuwait is without proper air-conditioning.  Currently more than 100 women are living at this embassy shelter, therefore they are cramped and confined to a relatively small living space which is supported by only one AC unit, which is currently not working properly.  Furthermore, one shelter ward was taken to a local hospital for treatment due to respiratory difficulty, which was the result of having inadequate cooling and air circulation.  The summer heat is stifling, and the shelter is in desperate need of our help! This brief message was sent from one of the embassy shelter staff: "there is 1 big hall and 5 adjoining rooms (1 of which is an infirmary). The big hall is cooled with the central AC unit for which they have received an approval of funds from HQ in **** for repair and servicing. They would be happy if we can sponsor the split ACs for the 5 adjoining rooms." A quote of KD 220 per unit X 5 units (which would include installation)  = KD 1,100. 

#2) A domestic worker who was left paralyzed from the waist down has been a ward of Al Razi Hospital since late January 2014.  Her mental health has recently become compromised due to her belief that she will never return to her native homeland again.  She, as a result of the despair she is experiencing, stopped eating more than one month ago, which led the medical team in charge of her care to place a feeding tube into her stomach, where she is provided with much needed nutrition to keep her alive.  Several members of the OH Team visited the patient earlier in the week to assess her situation.  All of us are in full agreement that it is necessary to have her repatriated to her native homeland whereby she will be admitted into a long-term care facility for continued treatment and rehabilitation.  As we discussed repatriation with her she wept openly and begged us to please help her return to her family.  Discussions with her embassy have clarified that her government will cover the cost of medically repatriating the patient, however will need your help for the provision of an air ticket for the nurse escort which will be required for the patient's repatriation.  The cost of the nurse escort on Kuwait Airways is KD 300.  Furthermore, it is our desire to remit funds to the patient's family in the sum of KD 75 each month for a period of 6 months to one year.  These funds would help to support the patient and her family during the difficult transition. 

#3) Syed is a little boy who was born with neurological challenges.  His life has been frought with one hospitalization after another, and one medical treatment after another.  His family contacted OH Kuwait several years ago after a particularly difficult hospitalization, requesting that we consider helping Syed by purchasing expensive nebulizing solutions for their son's recovery of pneumonia.  We agreed to help out with the medical expenses which are not covered under the Ministry of Health for Syed and have done so since that time.  Additionally, an expat family who read about Syed's needs through an OH newsletter offered to help to offset the costs of these medications as and when needed.  Recently it has come to our attention that Syed is in need of an expensive wheelchair which is designed to support his body and head in ways a regular wheelchair can not.  The price of the wheelchair is KD 1,600 and is available only at Essa Al Essa Medical Supply Co. 

No doubt you will agree that these three requests are worthy of your consideration and support.  We, the team of OH Kuwait, humbly request your support on behalf of these three individuals and their families.  Over the years this community has shown great compassion when we have sent out urgent requests for support; we hope and pray this time will be no different. 

If you wish to support one or more of these urgent needs please contact us via email or by phone (9937-5613) at your very earliest convenience.  These people need you... We need you... And we all thank you in advance for your consideration. 

The OH Team and I wish each of you a blessed Ramadan and hope to receive word of your support very soon. 

Sincerely,

Sheryll Mairza

Another Crazy Dara'a Mission 2014

 

 

Well, it's finished and ready to wear this evening. Every year I promise myself I will be well prepared with dara'as for Ramadan and Guirgian and every year I dash around frantically at the last second. The expos were very expensive, Indian Heritage in Souk Safat had a few nice, heavily Indian-influenced dara'as, Awqaf complex had nasty stuff at extortionate prices, so yet again I got the mad crazy idea that I could sew a better one for a 1/4 of the price. And I did. At least I know this one can be dry cleaned without falling apart. Had a bag, for her sweety stash, embroidered with her name (KD 5 upstairs at Souk Safat). We changed our minds a 100 times choosing fabric but in the end my poppet chose well. So if you see a kid out tonight in this outfit ...GIVE HER SWEETS!

Husband Demands Divorce on His Wedding Night After Receiving Compromising Photos of New Wife

Cuts deep: A groom divorced his wife on the spot on their wedding night
after he was sent a memory stick containing compromising photos of her

Via Daily Mail 

Husband demands divorce on his wedding night after wife’s former lover sends him memory stick containing intimate photographs of her. Scheming former lover hid the flash drive in a bouquet of flowers He had the flowers passed to the groom at the wedding banquet after he tried to blackmail bride into staying with him instead.


By DAMIEN GAYLE

A newlywed husband divorced his wife before they could even consummate their marriage after her ex sent him compromising photos of her.


The couple had been wed only hours when the groom was passed a memory stick containing the pictures hidden in a bouquet of flowers.


A note told him to look at the contents of the device and, when he did, he found the photographs of his new wife, laid bare and in intimate circumstances.


Muslim cleric Sheikh Ghazi Bin Abdul Aziz al-Shammari told Kuwaiti television news that the groom decided on the spot that his hours-old marriage was over, the website Sabq reported.


'The groom came to see me the next day and he was under strong emotional trauma,' said the cleric.


'It was truly the shock of his life and he could not bear the scandal.'


Sheikh al-Shammari said the bride's former lover had days earlier tried to blackmail her into staying with him, threating to reveal their relationship if she refused.


She told him to get lost, telling him she was to be married and that she wanted to start a new life, become a mother and raise a family.


But her scheming ex-partner found out where the marriage was to be held, bought the bouquet and concealed the memory stick with her pictures inside.


He then took it to the hotel where the couple were celebrating their wedding and contrived for it to be passed to her husband-to-be.


Sheikh al-Shammari, who is from Saudi Arabia, did not give the nationalities of the couple, and he did not say where the events unfolded.

The Reasons for the Protests in Kuwait

Protests this evening led to violent clashes between special forces and opposition supporters in Kuwait tonight, tear gas, rubber bullets are said to have be used, many arrests made.

Seems the protesters are calling for 'cleansing the judiciary and the government of corruption' also to show solidarity and call for the release of Musallam Al-Barrak, a former MP and opposition leader. Musallam Al-Barrak, who is being detained for investigation at Central Prison, alleges he has documents proving billions of dollars in illicit transfers were made to senior officials, including judges.


Jaber Al Mubarak Al Sabah, the Prime Minister, says Musallam Al- Barrak's documents are of no value and do not pass examination. The PM was quoted in local newspapers Wednesday making the remarks to members of Kuwait's parliament, who called for a discussion of the documents.


The Finance Minister was also quoted saying the documents are difficult to authenticate because they lack important details.


Kuwait's Supreme Judicial Council ordered an inquiry into the serious allegations made by Al-Barrak, who supposedly revealed the documents to more than 6,000 protesters late Tuesday. His opposition group had called for the anti-corruption rallies in the Gulf monarchy.

New Kuwaiti Currency Causing Confusion at Some Retail Outlets.

Actually, it was refused. Because the sales assistants had no clue what it was. So this is a wee bit worrying if the rest of Kuwait doesn't know this is the new Kuwaiti currency. My maid almost threw mine in the bin. I suppose you could insist on them taking your money, after all it's their fault for not getting jiggy with it.

Hello Kuwait, time for a new currency press campaign and quick.

Have just checked Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwaiti_dinar needs updating with the new notes, people.

As does Google images https://www.google.com/search?q=kuwaiti+currency&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&rlz=1I7RNMZ_en-GBKW595&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=1AOzU422BeKt0QWm5IHoBQ&ved=0CDoQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=589

I'm thinking might be best to take the old dinars if you're going to be in Europe or anywhere outside of Kuwait this summer.








 

Please Give a Thought to All the House Pets About to be Dumped in the Streets.

We are struggling with many rescues & very little help, we need your support to spread the word, we urgently need foster homes, adopters & most of all donations, as we rely completely on donations to help sick and unwanted animals. Please help us, you can take a look at our work here https://www.facebook.com/KAREq8 or on our Instagram account @Kareq8. We get many people dumping their pets on us now that it's summer time, the worst is when they say if you don't come take them now we will throw them to the street. The worst thing you can do to a house pet is to throw them to the street, let alone in a weather like ours.

Maha Mullajuma
Head of Kareq8


LWDLIK - Very sad to think that some people would rather throw out their animals than pay for kennels whilst they are away. Check out KareQ8's noble cause and please help if you can.
