My name is Mohammed and I am a speech and language therapist. I have been working as a speech and language therapist since 2014. I used to treat children between the ages of 3 and 5 years old, and then I started treating all groups of children and adults.
I used to work in a kindergarten, and after school, I would go to the homes of special needs patients to treat them in their homes. However my kindergarten and resources have been completely bombed and destroyed severely affecting my ability to work. Here are photos of my workplace:
There's no specific type of care I specialize in, but the most common cases I encountered were stuttering and speechproblemss. I also treated stroke patients who had difficulty swallowing. What drove me to this specialty was its very humane nature, and I love helping children reach their best and avoid any problems.
During the genocide, we were completely unable to move due to the heavy shelling falling around us. We were unable to help anyone, and our resources were scarce. Life is currently very difficult. We are slowly dying due to the scarcity of food and the closure of crossings. There are no basic necessities of life, such as clean water and healthy food. We are also facing fear at every moment, not knowing where to run.
I am calling on you to help me and my wife survive the genocide, and to help support my work helping others during this time. All donations will help make a real difference and to keep us safe. Many thanks
Mohammed
