Los Angeles Writer Raises Funds For Treatment Of Iraqi Victims
Their website says it is a grassroots organization that connects American communities with war-injured Iraqi children and their families. Community participants band together to learn how the child was injured, assess its current situation and work to meet the most pressing needs of the child’s family.
Mustafa Ghazwan lives with his parents and younger brother in Baquba, Iraq. On June 12, 2007, a U.S. jet fired a missile into a building next door and the explosion left the boy deaf. He was just learning to speak at the time, but hasn't been able to say anything since. His parents have said Mustafa grew increasingly frustrated by his deafness, banging his head against walls and floors.
"These are the kinds of human stories that are behind the missiles that fall," says Cole Miller, a Los Angeles writer and founder of No More Victims.
He has volunteers in Iraq who find injured children and match them with communities in the United States that are willing to raise enough money to pay for the trip and provide free medical care.
Miller found gold in the Bay Area in the form of an eclectic array of people - including peace activists in Marin who helped raise $30,000 to fund the trip, doctors at UC San Francisco who will provide free medical care and a dozen families originally from Iraq who are pitching in to translate.
