ABOUT HUSSAM:
Hussam is a 24 year old wheelchair basketball athlete for Palestine. He sustained an injury from a bombing in 2014. At only age 14 he became paralyzed from the waist down. He needs a complex surgery that is also not available to him.
He also lives with Hemophilia, a rare blood condition. This prevents his blood from clotting and could lead to severe bleeding from a minor injury. Because of this, he needs life saving medication on a regular basis. Not only is it expensive but as situations have gotten worse, it is not accessible to him currently.
