Imane will soon turn twenty, but her daily life is now confined to her bedroom, paralyzed from the waist down.

Refusing to give up, this mother searched numerous hospitals internationally. Her intensive research led her to a clinic located in Alicante, specializing in thermotherapy protocols. However, this medical journey represents a colossal financial cost for this family from Seine-et-Marne. It is in this critical context that the local community organizations decided to get actively involved to make this option possible, as specified by the digital edition of the daily newspaper Le Parisien.

The young girl’s former sports facility, where she had excelled on the mats since childhood, immediately responded. The Boissise-le-Roi judo club quickly launched a fundraising campaign titled "Support for Imane: her fight for life" while scheduling a charity raffle at the end of the month. This wave of mutual aid even crossed regional borders, touching emblematic figures from the French team such as Clarisse Agbégnénou and Shirine Boukli, who came to lend their support to this vital emergency.
