Youssef’s Story: An Aspiring Doctor
He Lost What He Loved but Pushed Forward
Youssef Al-Basha is a kind, caring, cheerful boy who always loved education. He had fun at school, and made friends easily. But one day, his father died. Luckily he had an uncle of modest living who took him in. But his uncle struggled financially and was unable to keep Youssef in school. Youssef had to drop out of school and help his uncle earn a living.
At just 9 years old, Youssef Al-Basha has already faced challenges that no child should have to endure. And still faced each day valiantly. He worked hard, in spite of losing his father at a young age and living in poverty with his uncle, Youssef’s life was defined by hardship. Despite his love for school and learning, financial struggles forced him to work instead of go to school.
