Our goal is to fulfill a wounded soldier’s wish BECAUSE “the greatest thing in the world is to do someone else a favor and fulfill his/her wish” AND “a promise made is a promise met and kept” and we have made a promise to this wounded soldier. We are therefore seeking the public’s help to MATCH FUNDS through this GoFundMe appeal. Please make your donation HERE:

“A wounded soldier wishes to thank, face to face, his eye cornea donor, which gave him back his eyesight, so he is seeking the public’s partnership to help him make his wish come true.

Our help is needed to help implement this Humanitarian Spirit Virtue action so badly is missing in society these days.

He – a brave Azerbaijani soldier – who lost his eyesight in one eye when he fought a fair and square war between countries.

He – an Israeli doctor who operated, as a humanitarian gesture, on this Azerbaijani soldier’s eye, transplanted in his wounded eye a cornea donated by the Israeli cornea bank, Israel.

This successful cornea transplant operation was part of a team of Israeli ophthalmology doctors humanitarian gesture who arrived in Azerbaijan and treated 150 eyes-wounded Azerbaijani veterans.

Unfortunately, the operating doctor had to leave Azerbaijan, back to Israel, before the patient soldier, for whom we are raising these funds, could adequately thank his doctor. The soldier, now enjoying full eyesight in his wounded eye, wants to travel from Azerbaijan to Israel to properly thank his doctor and meet – face to face – his cornea donor’s family.

We therefore want to make the soldier’s wish come true.

We have already received a generous contribution in the amount of $10,000, from ‘The State Committee for Diaspora Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan’, and we, therefore, ask the public to come up with the $10,000 matching funds needed.

All that is done here is for the sake of people helping people, along with the most appreciated humanitarian spirit act.”
