Help pours in for UAE sextuplets

An Egyptian couple in the UAE recently welcomed sextuplets. However, they were faced with a huge financial crisis as they did not even have a proper roof over their head or the means to bring up their six bundles of joy and barely managed to meet their needs.

The Crown Prince of Ajman, Sheikh Ammar Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi has offered to provide financial support to help the infants since the father, a driver, earns a meagre Dh2,000 per month.

Sheikh Ammar has offered to provide the family accommodation and he has also offered pay for any medical or personal expenses required, reports Gulf News.

Soraya Foully, 32, gave birth to three boys - Mohammad, Ahmad, Khalifa and three girls - Israa, Sara, Donia - at the Corniche Hospital in Abu Dhabi. The infants are currently in healthy condition at the Corniche Hospital.

Help is pouring in from all quarters. The National Health Insurance Company (Daman) has established contact with the family to look into health insurance solutions, says the daily.

In addition 1,500 diapers will be sent to the family by a diapers manufacturer that wished to remain anonymous.

A large corporate bank has also offered to gather donations from its employees to help the family get through the crisis while another company has offered plane tickets as a response to the sextuplets' mother Soraya Foully telling Gulf News that her biggest wish was to have her family in Egypt see her children and help her take care of them.

Looking at the huge public response to the new parents' plight, the Corniche Hospital has created a page on Facebook titled ‘Corniche Hospital Sextuplets', reprots the daily. The page provides information for the community on where and how to donate to the family.
