Through your support we busted through our goal of $29,900 to bring Salee to the United States for treatment. The additional money will be used by No More Victims to help another war-injured Iraqi child receive the medical attention they need. Ten-year-old Salee was injured on November 7, 2006 while playing outside her home in Hasswa, Iraq with her brother, cousin and some friends. On that day, US jets flew overhead firing three missiles at two passenger vehicles. One of the missiles hit Salee's home, killing her brother and taking both of Salee's legs. No More Victims has arranged for Salee to receive surgical and prosthetics services in Greenville, South Carolina. This medical treatment is unavailable to her in Iraq. Salee just left Fallujah and is currently in Damascus, Syria. Her and her father will be meeting with Cole Miller, the founder of No More Victims, in Amman, Jordan in the next couple of weeks. Cole will assist them with the visa process and escort them to South Carolina, where the doctors at Shriner's Hospital will take care of Salee. We will be posting updates on Salee's recovery here, so please come back to follow her progress. http://www.mothersdayforpeace.com/blog/2007/05/an_update_on_salee.php http://www.mothersdayforpeace.com/blog/2007/05/an_update_on_salee.php Wed, 23 May 2007 10:34:51 -0800
