Help Marwa


Marwa Al-Sharif went to Connecticut 10 years ago (August 2001) to have an Israeli bullet removed from her head. While the operation was successful, some side effects remained including a strange detrimental effect on development of her teeth.

Marwa had done well in school since returning to Palestine and just graduated from high school but really requires expensive dental surgeries on all her teeth. We need your donation towards this work which is estimated to cost NIS18,000 (Euro3,800 or US$5,500.) The Hartford Catholic Worker (a nonprofit which helped bring Marwa to the US in 2001) is collecting donations which will be transferred directly to the Palestinian dentist for the work.

Please donate by going directly tohttp://hartfordcatholicworker.org/about/ and indicate on your donations that it is for "Marwa's Dentistry Work".
