Seven-year-old Rusul is the younger sister of Salee Allawe who received double prostheses through the generosity of Greenville’s Shriners Hospital last year. Rusul’s right leg was severely injured in the U.S. missile strike that took Salee’s legs and killed her brother on November 7, 2006 in Hasswa, Iraq. Rusul will also be receiving care at Shriners, where doctors are almost certain that Rusul’s leg will have to be amputated and replaced by a prosthetic. Rusul and her father Hussen, will stay at Ronald McDonald House of the Carolinas in Greenville throughout their stay. For more information about Rusul, visit http://www.nomorevictims.org
