In My House, There is a Polar Bear | Safa` Hamed | TEDxUniversityofPalestine

At certain moments, maybe all of us wish that we do not have the ability to feel pain. However, what would you do if your child can’t feel pain; she would lose a limb or maybe she would lose all her body while she is still smiling because simply she cannot feel pain. In this talk, Safa Hamed talks about her experience with her daughter and how she dedicated all her efforts to keep her daughter Lina alive.
She is thirty-two years old. She holds a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering. She has always been interested in graphic arts. She had competed in many international and local chess games. She has never expected that one day her biggest challenge will be finding ways to make her daughter live a normal life after finding out she has a rare disease that affects one in a one million. She succeeded in creating a Facebook page and tried to connect families with children who have the same disease communicate together and share their experience; so they won’t feel they are alone in this world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
