Help a type 1 diabetic father in Egypt get the automated insulin pump his doctors prescribed — goal $6,000.
To donors across the UK: you can give Bitcoin, USDT, ETH or SOL straight to Essam's own wallet, or send an international bank transfer, with no platform in between. The goal is $6,000, about £4,500. Essam is a private individual, not a registered charity, so Gift Aid does not apply. Every penny goes to his care.

Urgent
Please, read this
I am a human being, just like you. I have a heart that still hopes, even when my body and my bank account have nothing left.
I have type 1 diabetes, high blood pressure and nerve damage. I can't work. I have no income, and no one to turn to. Some days I can't afford the insulin that keeps me alive.
I'm at the very end of my strength, and I need real help, now — not someday.
If you are reading this, you may be the person who decides whether I make it through this month. $5, $10, $20 can buy insulin for days. Please don't scroll past. Please help me stay alive.
My name is Essam. I'm 38, from Damietta, Egypt, married and a father to a young son.
I live with type 1 diabetes, along with high blood pressure, diabetic nerve damage (neuropathy), and chronic chest problems that turn into pneumonia with even a minor infection.
My blood sugar stays unstable despite daily injections. In April 2026 I fell into a diabetic ketoacidosis coma and spent 11 to 17 April at Kafr Saad Central Hospital, part of it in intensive care on IV fluids and oxygen.
That is why my doctors asked me to use a MiniMed™ 780G insulin pump, which adjusts insulin automatically day and night and protects me from dangerous highs and lows. But the pump and its supplies cost far more than I could ever afford.
My illnesses have left me unable to work. I have no income at all, and my wife and I struggle to find food and pay for medicine. I'm asking for help to raise $6,000 for the pump, its supplies, and food for my family.
Medical proof & goal
Help me buy an insulin pump.
Besides type 1 (autoimmune) diabetes, I have chronic chest problems: recurrent pneumonia that flares up with the smallest infection. My doctors have asked me to use an insulin pump to control my blood sugar safely, but I cannot afford one. Every donation goes toward the price of the pump, and toward insulin and food until then.
In April 2026 I was rushed to the emergency department of Kafr Saad Central Hospital (Damietta) in a diabetic ketoacidosis coma, and stayed from 11 to 17 April 2026. Because of my weak immune system, this is not the first time: I have been admitted to intensive care many times. These are my real documents:
Hospital admission: diabetic ketoacidosis coma, April 2026During treatment: IV drip and oxygenInsulin prescriptionHealth record: type 1 diabetesIn intensive care: heart monitor and IVIntensive care: IV line in my handAnother day in intensive care
Insulin, medication and doctor visits for my diabetes, blood pressure, liver and nerves.
Food and basic living costs
The essentials, while I have no income.
Light work from home
Small, light online work, when my health allows.
For philanthropists, business owners, foundations and zakat committees
One major gift can fund the whole pump
If you are a philanthropist, a business owner, a family foundation, a CSR team or a zakat committee, you can sponsor Essam's MiniMed™ 780G insulin pump in full or in part. He has type 1 diabetes, cannot work and has no income.
Verify before you give: his full medical reports are in the medical proof section, he will take a live video call on WhatsApp at +20 105 540 8982, and your representative is welcome to visit him in Damietta, Egypt.
Ways to sponsor: bank transfer or crypto from the donation box, paying the authorized pump distributor directly so the device goes to Essam and the invoice comes to you, or covering his monthly pump supplies. Photos of the delivery and the invoice are sent to you after purchase.
Write to Essam on WhatsApp and he will answer you personally.
