Chaldean Chamber Donates $1,000 to Iraqi Burn Victim

Dearborn, Mi - On Wednesday, May 28, 2003 the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce donated $1,000 to a young Iraqi burn victim on behalf of its members.

Hannan Shibab is receiving medical treatment at the University of Michigan Trauma Burn Center for burns she sustained during the coalition bombing of Baghdad. The center is providing all medical treatment to Hannan at no cost.

The funds donated by the Chaldean Chamber will help alleviate financial costs, such as food, housing, clothing and transportation, for Hannan and her mother, Yusra Hilal.

The fundraiser took place at the Al-Ajami Restaurant in Dearborn and was supported by several individuals and organizations and hosted by Congressman Mike Rogers and ACCESS.
