Castana is a war victim we rescued from the south of Lebanon. He was burned alive when an airstrike hit near him. His family abandoned him, leaving him to suffer alone. On top of his severe burns, Castana also tested positive for ๐๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ข๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ, a serious disease caused by a parasite.
Despite everything he went through, Castana fought hard to survive. He became stronger, and his skin has healed well. ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ, and he is still receiving treatment for Leishmaniasis.
However, we noticed two major issues:
1๏ธโฃ ๐๐๐ข๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ
Castana is in ๐ฌ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ง ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ญ๐จ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐๐ซ. We took him to a specialist who checked his ear using an otoscope, but he ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐งโ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐โ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฆ. It appears that the eardrum is missing, and ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐. The doctor couldnโt fully assess the damage because of how painful it is for Castana.
The vet recommended a ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง to see whatโs inside Castanaโs ear. We urgently need to figure out if this is a ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, damage from his injuries, or a result of ๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ forming inside the ear.
2๏ธโฃ ๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ
Castana also developed a ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฉ, which keeps growing. The dermatologist confirmed itโs caused by a ๐๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ, which Castana caught due to his ๐ฐ๐๐๐ค๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฆ from Leishmaniasis and his trauma.
The pimple could continue growing or spread to other parts of his body if not treated. The vet recommended ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ฏ๐ ๐ข๐ญ and prevent it from coming back.
We need to raise $๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ to cover both the ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง and ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฒ. They are scheduled for TOMORROW.
Castana has been through so much, and he deserves a chance to heal completely.
Please help us give him that chance. Every donation counts, and we are so grateful for your support.
