Staying Alive - Patrick's Journey

The Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an,

is a nonprofit organisation, that brings together governmental entities, private organisations, and individuals to support under represented communities in Abu Dhabi. It mobilizes funding and empowers other nonprofits, social enterprises, and volunteer groups to drive impact towards a healthier, cleaner and more inclusive nation. Thanks to donations from across the UAE, Ma’an’s life-saving dialysis center offered Patrick a second chance. What happened next inspired a wave of generosity across the nation. Thousands were moved to action, donating to continue to help fund treatment for many more individuals just like Patrick. One man’s fight for survival became a symbol of hope—and how kindness is helping save lives every day.
