Oli Ullah

Hello! My name is Oli. I am 17 years old and in the 9th grade. School has been going well, but bleeds have caused me to miss quite a bit of time, so I have needed to put extra time into my studies to stay caught up. I have severe hemophilia A, and this has resulted in bleeds in my shoulder and knees that have required treatment at the hospital. I currently attend physiotherapy to try and increase range of motion in my legs, because I have difficulty bending them due to prior bleeds. I live at home with my parents and three siblings. My father and one of my brothers work as farmers. My other brother works as a day labourer. Combined they earn about $160 per month. We own a three room tin house in our village and are thankful to have a refrigerator for food storage.I have been part of the sponsorship program since 2016. My previous sponsor recently discontinued their participation in the program and I am now in need of a new sponsor.
