Imagine waking up to find that a nightmare has become your harsh reality.
This is the story of Alex, a hardworking man whose life was turned upside down by someone he once called a friend. What began as a seemingly insignificant debt of 20 Dhs ($5) has evolved into a nightmare of unimaginable proportions.
Alex, like many of us, faced financial difficulties and lent 20 Dhs ($5) to a friend, thinking it was a minor gesture. Little did he know that this small act of kindness would lead to an unimaginable betrayal. Instead of returning the debt or offering an apology, his so-called friend responded with extreme violence. In a shocking act of cruelty, he poured acid on Alex’s face, causing severe burns and leaving Alex with life-altering injuries.
The brutal acid attack not only inflicted severe physical trauma but also shattered Alex’s spirit. He now struggles with severe burns on his face and body, unable to close his eyes or turn his neck. The pain of the injuries is compounded by the emotional and psychological toll of this horrific experience.
