Help a Father Who Gave Everything to Save His Daughter

Gizachew Asinakew is more than a kidney transplant patient. He is a devoted husband, a loving father of four children, and the foundation of his family in Ethiopia. His greatest joy is spending time with his wife and children, encouraging them in school, and working hard to provide them with a better future.
Today, Gizachew is facing the greatest challenge of his life.
He has been diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure, and doctors have determined that a kidney transplant is now his only hope for survival. Because this specialized procedure is not currently accessible to him in Ethiopia, he must travel to India, where experienced transplant specialists can perform the surgery and provide the medical care he urgently needs.
Unfortunately, Gizachew has no health insurance and no financial resources left to pay for this life-saving treatment.
A Father’s Extraordinary Sacrifice
Just recently, Gizachew faced another heartbreaking battle.
One of his young daughters was diagnosed with cancer.
Like any loving father, he refused to give up on his child. He made the difficult decision to use his entire lifetime savings to take her from Ethiopia to Israel for specialized cancer treatment.
Because of his incredible sacrifice, determination, and faith, his daughter successfully completed her treatment and is now a cancer survivor.
Today, the father who sacrificed everything to save his daughter’s life is now fighting for his own.
After exhausting every dollar he had to save his child, Gizachew has nothing left to fund the kidney transplant that could save him.
His greatest wish is simple—to regain his health, return home to his family, continue working, and watch his three children grow up.
Why We Are Fundraising
The Walia Charity Association is coordinating this fundraising campaign to help Gizachew access the medical care he urgently needs.
After consultation with medical professionals and careful planning, India has been identified as the most appropriate destination for his kidney transplant.
We are seeking to raise $25,000 USD to cover the essential costs of this life-saving journey for Gizachew and his wife, who will accompany him as his primary caregiver throughout surgery and recovery.
