OPERATION SIDRA

Physicians evaluated Sidra’s X-rays and identified the source of her chronic pain: severe deformities and misalignment in her ribs.

Veterans Rebuilding Life responded to requests for assistance for a young girl who urgently needs medical care. Sidra, a teenager from an impoverished family living in war-torn Iraq, has endured years of severe scoliosis and chronic pain. Although she previously underwent corrective spinal surgery, a recent medical evaluation revealed serious deformities and misalignment in her ribs.

Physicians determined that she requires an additional surgical procedure to reshape and realign her ribcage. For Sidra’s family, who struggle daily to meet basic needs, the cost of treatment was far beyond reach. In response, Veterans Rebuilding Life partnered with Without Borders to raise the $4,000 needed to fund Sidra’s life changing surgery.
