In 2007, a 6 year old Saja Saleem was coming home from school in northern Iraq. Out of nowhere, she is spinning in the air after being struck by a roadside bomb. She lost her eyesight, right arm and ear from the bomb. She is now 17 and she had to drop out of school because other students were complaining about her looks. Because of this feeling of being ostracized, she turned to social media as on outlet. The medical field from where she is located, is not the greatest. People around the world know this. Therefore, she has been offered by a surgeon to have her reconstructive surgery done at no cost. Her family believes that is very lucky that she actually got this help. Not everyone who has done this before gets the same help.
