Why Lejla chose: Doctors Without Borders
“My decision to support Doctors Without Borders holds personal significance, rooted in my relatives' experiences of the harsh realities of conflict within Bosnia during the 1990s. The firsthand experience of the challenges and suffering brought by conflict has instilled in me a profound appreciation for the vital role played by organizations like Doctors Without Borders. The role and contributions of this cause lie in alleviating suffering and advancing healthcare access where it is needed most. It ensures that essential medical assistance is extended to all, leaving no one without vital support during times of crisis.”
