medical assistance foR somaya

Earlier in 2025, Somaya, age 13, was in a bad motorcycle accident. She was treated in a hospital in Afghanistan where they placed 7 pins in her broken hip. Shortly thereafter, the pins pulled out and the family was told there was no treatment available for her in
Afghanistan. 
​
The Irene M. Rossi Fund was able to send Somaya and her family to Pakistan for medical treatment. However, once there, the doctors told Somaya that the medical treatment she needed could not be provided until she was 4 to 5 years older. Somaya and her family have returned to Afghanistan where she's coping with her medical situation until she reaches the designated age.

​

Even with this disapointing news, the Irene M Rossi Fund will continue to follow Somaya's case and assist her when she needs additioanl medical treatment.

​

In this manner, the Irene M Rossi Fund works with familis of children in developing countries to help them obtain the medical services that they need and unfortunately have great difficulty obtaining.
