When $50 Saves a Life

It's 3 AM. Fatima clutches her 4-year-old son, Ibrahim, as she runs through the dark streets of Timbo. His fever spiked hours ago. Now he's barely conscious, his tiny body burning with heat. She arrives at the health center, breathless and terrified.

The diagnosis is immediate: **severe malaria.** The treatment is simple: **IV fluids, antimalarial medication, monitoring.** The cost? **$50.**

Fatima has $8 to her name. Her husband is away working in the fields. There's no credit, no insurance, no safety net. Just $8 between her son and the medication that will save his life.

**What happens next depends on whether someone like you has donated to TAD Charitable Foundation's healthcare program.**

The Brutal Mathematics of Poverty and Health

In Timbo, there's no such thing as "minor" illness. When you earn $1.50 per day and medical treatment costs $50, every health crisis becomes an existential threat. The math is cruel and simple: you either pay or you die.

Let that sink in. **Seven out of ten deaths in Timbo are completely preventable.** We're not talking about rare diseases or complex conditions. We're talking about malaria. Diarrhea. Respiratory infections. Childbirth complications. Things that wouldn't kill anyone in a wealthier country.

**They die because they're poor. That's it. That's the reason.**

What Your $50 Actually Buys

When you donate $50 to TAD Charitable Foundation's healthcare program, you're not writing a check to some abstract cause. You're directly paying for:

That's everything needed to take someone from "might die tonight" to "will recover fully." **For $50.** Less than a nice dinner. Less than new shoes. Less than a month of streaming services.

Your $50 is literally the difference between life and death.

The Silent Killers: What We're Fighting

The conditions killing people in Timbo aren't exotic or mysterious. They're shockingly ordinary:

Malaria

The number one killer. Transmitted by mosquitoes, easily treated if caught early, almost always fatal if not. **Treatment cost: $40-$60.** Without treatment, a healthy child can die within 72 hours. With treatment, full recovery in a week.

Diarrheal Disease

Often caused by contaminated water. Leads to severe dehydration, especially deadly for children and elderly. **Treatment: $30 for oral rehydration and antibiotics.** Caught early, recovery is certain. Ignored, it's a death sentence.

Respiratory Infections

Pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis. Common during rainy season. **Treatment: $50-$80 for antibiotics and supportive care.** Without medication, these conditions progress rapidly, especially in malnourished individuals.

Maternal Complications

Childbirth in Timbo is dangerous. Complications that would be routine in a hospital become life-threatening. **Emergency intervention: $100-$200.** The difference between a mother going home with her baby or leaving behind orphaned children.

Meet the Families You'll Save

Let me introduce you to some people whose names you should know—because your donation might save them.

**Mariama, age 6.** Lives with her grandmother after her parents died of treatable infections. Gets sick frequently due to malnutrition. Each illness costs $40-$50 to treat. Her grandmother earns $30 per month selling vegetables.

**Amadou, age 34.** Father of five, subsistence farmer. Injured his leg working in the fields. The wound became infected. Without treatment ($75 for antibiotics and wound care), he could lose the leg. Losing the leg means losing his ability to farm. Losing farming means his family starves.

**Aissatou, age 22, pregnant with her first child.** Her mother died in childbirth. She's terrified the same will happen to her. Access to prenatal care ($100) and emergency delivery support ($150) could save both her and her baby.

**These aren't hypothetical people. They're real. They're waiting. And whether they live or die depends on whether funds are available when they need them.**

The TAD Difference: Why Your Dollar Goes Further

When you donate to TAD Charitable Foundation's healthcare program, **100% of your gift goes directly to medical care.** Not 90%. Not 85%. One hundred percent. Here's why:

Our founder, Thierno Abdoulaye Diallo, nearly died as a child due to lack of medical care. He was one of the lucky ones—someone helped his family access treatment. He never forgot what it felt like to be that sick, that poor, that powerless.

**This is personal for us.** That's why TAD Charitable Foundation:

We partner directly with Timbo Health Center. When you donate, funds are transferred within 24 hours. When an emergency arrives, treatment begins immediately, and we handle payment afterward. **No one is turned away because they can't pay upfront.**

Your Impact Menu: Choose Your Life-Saving Gift

Different situations require different levels of support. Here's exactly what your contribution provides:

Every single dollar translates to actual medicine, actual treatment, actual saved lives. **No overhead. No waste. Just direct, immediate, life-saving impact.**

Why Healthcare? Why Now?

You might wonder: why focus on healthcare when there are so many other needs? Simple: **dead people can't go to school, start businesses, or build communities.** Healthcare isn't separate from development—it's the foundation of everything else.

A child who survives malaria can grow up to become a doctor. A mother who receives safe childbirth care can raise her children. A farmer who gets his infection treated can continue feeding his family. **Healthcare makes everything else possible.**

And right now, in this moment, people are dying of preventable causes while we have the means to save them. **Not next month. Not next year. Today.**
