Fort Wayne resident Haider Al-jayashy carries a picture of his niece Wagdan Natham Al-jayashy with him most everywhere he goes. But he doesn't have to look at it to be reminded of the little girl's severe burns. He also knows the wounds are forever engraved in Wagdan's mind.
Wagdan was 6 that hot day on April 3, 2003, when she was caught in crossfire between Iraqi insurgents and U.S. military. She was on her way to the outdoor toilets near her home in Samawah City, Iraq, about four hours south of Baghdad.
Donations can be sent to:
Tower Bank
% Wagdan Nathahm Al-Jayashay
116 East Berry St.
Ft. Wayne, IN 46802
I'm enclosing a get well card also. Treatment for burns is very painful, and this child needs all the support she can get. Any extra money will be given to Shriners Hospital for Children in Cincinnati, an excellent hospital.
Please join me in making a donation.
