Suleiman Abu Salah

Six years ago on Suleiman's 8th birthday, there was a car accident and unfortunately Suleiman was run over and as a result suffered a serious head injury. He underwent three difficult surgeries in the hospital and then went to rehabilitation. The doctors gave Suleiman a very low chance of recovery. The crisis that our family went through during this period was terrible. One day in the rehabilitation center, his parents talked about faith and especially that we, since we are from the Druze community, believe in destiny and this gave us the ability to strengthen each other and most importantly to help and support Suleiman. We always gave him a shoulder and against all odds after three terrible months and many prayers God heard our prayers, Suleiman came back to life again. And from then until this moment the family perseveres and makes sure to give Suleiman all the help he needs and strengthen his difficulty caused by the injury. In the end, after all the difficulties the family encountered and the enormous pain regarding Suleiman's incident, we are always optimistic, see the good in life, believe in God and believe and hope that it will be better and do not despair even in times of trouble.
