I am a medical student in Zanjan, Iran, and during my study I see many patients who suffer because they cannot afford even simple treatment. Many times the medicine is not available or is too expensive because of the sanctions and rising cost of living. This always made me feel sad and also angry. I wanted to do something, even small.

​

When I heard about Efronix Foundation, I decided to help. I joined their cataract surgery project in a village near Fars. I helped with patient files and follow-up after surgery. I saw old people who could not see for years, now walking with smile after surgery. One old woman said, "Now I can see my grandchildren again." I will never forget that moment.

​

Also, I helped with giving hydroxyurea to people with sickle cell disease in Khuzestan. Before this, many didn’t have access to the medicine. Some cried when we gave them the box. It really touched me.

​

Efronix Foundation's work gives me hope. I am proud to be part of it and I will continue as long as I can.
