My Intestines Got Sucked Out In A Swimming Pool | TRULY

A horrific swimming pool accident left a teenager without her intestines and unable to eat food for the last 10 years. When she was five-years-old, Salma Bashir was playing in a baby swimming pool in Alexandria, Egypt. She sat on the pool’s suction valve and the force was so strong that it ripped her small intestines from her body. Given just weeks to live Salma’s parents travelled with their young family to Pennsylvania, USA for life-saving surgery. Salma was then on a waiting list for a transplant and after a year and a half of waiting, she had the surgery that her family believed would be the start of the rest of Salma’s life. Instead the small intestines transplant rejected and after six months it had to be removed along with Salma’s large intestines and gallbladder; her stomach also had to remain open. Salma now receives all her nutrients via a TPN tube. Hopes for a future transplant are slim - the estimated cost of the five-organ transplant are $3 million but that’s not stopping Salma for giving it everything she’s got: the chatty teen has raised $15,000 already on her Gofundme page, while her makeup channel is a chance for Salma to escape her daily pain and discomfort.

Thank you soo much for eveyones support and thank you Barcroft TV for helping me get my story out.
Salma Bashir maybe Canada here may have something more to offer than USA
God Bless you. You are inspiring.
Just came across your video... Wow I'm so amazed at your bravery and courage. I wish you all the best in the future. You're beautiful, intelligent and stronger than most.
Your make up is great!
You should start doing vlogs or youtubing. You'll get a following and probably that youtube coin girl!
“The good thing is it was so bad that I basically black out”
Damn no kid should ever have to say that
That’s only because she couldn’t feel her intestines been sucked out of her stomach I can’t imagine the pain she would have been in :(
Nobody should ever have to say that
I said that once, I hit my head on the corner of a brick and i don’t even remember what happened really I could barely hear but I couldn’t feel any pain
I did too. A few years back my mom and I and more people were involved in an accident. I blacked out as soon as the vehicles collided and my mom thought I was dead
Seriously 😢 scary to think that every child is a danger going to a regular swimming pool
and this is why people should donate their organs when they die
Yeah as of now my organs are perfectly healthy so when I die I'm going to donate everything
In Ecuador there's a law that every ecuadorian is a donate. And if you dont want to be a donate you have to do something. And I really like that. Being donate without problem :)
@@melinabastidas1746 wow
Melina Bastidas in the UK we have a similar law now unless you state you don’t want to
when my brother passed he donated his heart , his livers , and one other thing :)
If anyone is interested in how she's doing now, this is from the update she made in December 2022:
"I've been living with my abdomen open since 2009. It has healed some, but will never fully heal. Since I dont have any intestines I can not eat food. There is no way for me to digest or ansorb food. Sometimes I chew food for taste but I have to spit it out, I can't swallow it. I can drink anything I'd like, but I dont get any of the nutrients because it come right out through a tube attached to my abdomen. Since I can't absorb any nutrients by traditional eating and drinking I am on Total Parenteral Nutrition or TPN IV fluids for 20 hours a day, daily. Although TPN has kept me alive all these years it causes severe liver damage and consequently I am currently in liver failure. I recieve my TPN through a central line port that goes to my heart. So, as of 2022 I am currently needing a 5 organ multiveseral transplant( small intestines, large intestines, liver, pancreas, and stomach).
The medical issues alone have been a massive struggle but financial obstacles have made the road to recovery that much harder. Since I am not an American citizen and I didn't have a social security number, I didn't qualify for health insurance for over 14 years of my life. As you can imagine, things were not very easy. After years and hundreds of lawyers, thank God I was able to get a social security number.
Because of this I can now obtain health insurance and thank God the second transplant is possible. I have been reevaluated for the 5 organ multiveseral transplant and placed on the transplant waiting list at the children's hospital for 2 years.
In the early part of 2022 I decided to make the transition from the children's hospital to the adult hospital in Pittsburgh. It has been a difficult decision as a fair amount of comfort and security come from that which we know. Children's hospital would have allowed me to continue my care with them well into my adult years, but sadly my relationship with the children's hospital team was strained, difficult, and traumatic. I felt it was better for my overall health and well-being to make the transition to the adult transplant team. Because of that transfer of medical care children's hospital removed me from the transplant list. They simply thought it would be best since I was actively seeking care at the adult hospital and was no longer comfortable at Children's. However, their hasty action to remove me from the list has left me absent from any transplant list at this time. The adult team will need to evaluate me again and reinstate me on the list. This evaluation is done on an outpatient basis. Unfortunately my liver and overall health has been declining rapidly during the past year and as of date I have not been able to remain outside of the hospital long enough to have the evaluation. Therefore, I am currently not on the transplant waiting list. Thankfully we did start the evaluation process recently and I started getting tests done. So I'm hoping to be officially listed soon.
The transplant itself will be nothing short of a true miracle. Because I have had so many blood transfusions over the years my body has a lot of antibodies. This makes finding a match very difficult. Also, I will need all 5 organs from the same person at the same time. This mean my donor will be deceased. I am woefully aware that this means my miracle will be someone else's tragedy. I struggle with that reality. It truly is very difficult. All I can say is if I am afforded such a beautiful gift of life I will do my best to live in gratitude."
thank you for sharing her update. i am praying for her

Wait so her intestines got sucked out of her bottom?

She passed away last month sadly
I read this happening to a 6 year old once and I believe she died due to the accident. This young lady lived for years after and that is impressive. Shame she's dead now, but no more suffering

And this is why I'm a body donor. When I die I hope my parts are used to help others like her

It's not the place for any one person you need a systematic taxation of the entire Rich population by a government body.
@@michaelsurratt1864yes but unfortunately these government bodies don’t care about their citizens and individuals like us. they care more about their profits then the teachings of our prophets 🤦🏽♂️
@@michaelsurratt1864if you want to live in a place where the government can force you to pay for someone else go to China
@@michaelsurratt1864 The biggest source of money is the stock and bond market. The fact that the United States with the largest population of wealthy people on the planet has not figured out how to create a national wealth fund siphoned from the hyper wealthy up to this point is completely unacceptable. The income from the growth of a US national wealth fund would be absolutely absurd and could cover virtually all of these types of cases.
That’s a bit wrong though isn’t it. Making a group pay more in terms of percentages because they earned more. Everyone should be taxed the same. It’s not your right to say what others should do with their private property and funds
She sounds mad intelligent for her age
She’s like 16-17 years old dude, what do you mean?
@Tyler Tylerr he never said that, intelligent means smart, it sounds like he’s saying that people her age aren’t intelligent too, also I’m actually a very fun person to be around, I’m just defensive, so please don’t spread false information about me being a killjoy.
Ye she sounds just like a 16yr old.
You guys must be like still 11-12years old. Once you get 14-15 youll start noticing you sound just like her
@Aljon what?
Update: She’s in a very bad condition right now and she needs to raise $4000000 in order to get her 5 organ transplants. She isn’t even on the waiting list yet cuz of her financial position. She needs help. She’s in desperate need of help in order to stay alive. Please please please, if you want to help, please help by donating money through her gofundme link. Or if u can’t help by doing that at least keep sharing her story until someone who can donate will. She’s grasping at life and in need of immense help guys.💔💔
Update 2: Thank u to everyone who shared and donated, although Salma isn’t on the waiting list yet, she finally has insurance!!
(P.S the insurance is still not enough to cover all her medical expenses so she’s still in dire need of the donations coming in so keep sharing and donate if u can!!)
We have to get as many people to know about her situation so they can help!! We should share her GoFundMe on social media

You can’t live without a liver.. that is completely wrong.

@@oyellepson5617 Just because someone needs a new organ doesn't mean they don't have that organ at all. Her liver may be badly damaged or she may only have a part of her liver. The way you're talking about this being a lie makes you seem very paranoid...
You can't live without a liver. Liver does have an incredible ability to regenerate though. As long as you are left with roughly 30% of your liver, you will survive and eventually it will regenerate.
Did she lose them or she's born without it?

not everybody has the money to donate. How much did you donate?
plus being evacuated! all northern alberta was burning for a while and i lost my job just 2 weeks before that
had to travel 8 hours down south to stay with family
I don’t have 5 dollars I don’t even use dollars
Some people don't have any form of credit to donate
Aria k I don’t have any money
Why would the pool have such strong suctions??
I'm wondering that too!!
Based on the size the filter has to be powerful to filter the water. Cases like hers is why they require covers.
She was quite young when it happened so the suction would have felt a lot stronger in her body than it would have felt on an adult

@@samgray49 Yeah but it was in some shithole country, not a developed one.

oh she's definitely a fighter. i feel traumatized just by hearing what happened to her in that pool, but here she is ... going swimming! she is so mentally and physically tough. incredible.
if everyone that saw this video donated 1-2 dollars, her family would have enough to afford organ transplants for her
AND THEN EVERYONE CAN DO IT FOR ALL THE OTHER PPL WHO NEED HELP🖕🖕🖕
You can't just insert new organs 10 years later.
you also need an exact match donor who can donate all the near perfect 5 organs to her. she already rejected once so probably wouldn’t do good with just a close match and i believe her ethnicity is harder to find transplants for not to mention multiple organ transplant. and the money thing.
no, shes a bot
It takes time to find the right organs, you can't just get organs randomly and surgically put them in, the body can reject the organs
The daughter says she’s a “controlling mother” like, girl, the last time she let you out of her sight you lost 4 organs. I can understand why she might be a bit protective.
Edit: I don’t know why people keep getting mad at this comment. Learn how to read or something, cause you’re annoying and I don’t have the energy to explain over and over that this was obviously not meant to be negative. I know she wasn't being serious.
SHUT UP. SHUT. UP.
Seriously, why do people make it their life goal to misunderstand things so they can be self righteous on the internet? Can you not see I've gotten the same reply 50 times? If you're gonna be annoying at least be original.
That’s what I thought. And on one hand I agree, but on the other hand, she’s in pain 24/7. I think she deserves to have fun and feel normal for once, like all the other kids her age.

Exactly what I was thinking too
Lets all do it
Do it then!!!
When the mother said the transplant costs were going to be 3 million, this is what I was thinking.
Yes lets do that for AMERICAN children who are in desperate financial need for life saving procedures. There funding should come from Egyptian people who want to donate. There's plenty of wealthy people there who could help.
I truly wished I had the money to help cause this child/teen deserves it and her mother deserves peace. You never know what you’re gonna get with each day. Both herself and mom are brave at heart and I can only imagine the pain her mother feels to see her child in this situation. Hopefully she’ll get what she needs in the future. Although this was filmed and aired so many years ago, I would love to see a follow-up in the present of her life.
I would think she would have received some kind of payment from the pool with their faulty equipment. Obviously she needs the money to help with all the surgeries she needs. She is so brave.

@@jessie6600 I actually had a bowel blockage, no not the same, but I had an ostomy for a year and I was miserable my quality of life wasnt good. I was able to get it reversed but I tell my drs now I'll never go thru that again. Again, nothing compared to this girl. I think shes very strong. Bless her heart
This is one of very reason that I am grateful for everything little thing, because of courageous some people. I pray that she will continue to have a fruitful life with her family.
The mom is so sweet and supportive! You can tell how much she loves her!
She was in a major accident with the swimming pool.
Producers: let's get footage of her in the swimming pool

if i was her, i would never be near or INSIDE a pool ever again
larkies adventures
I guess people want to overcome their fears and she’s one of those people
Poor baby.. 5 rejections ...5 organs... omg 3 million and no insurance
and a bunch of horrible solutions. Not trying to get political but we need a true free market system. USA doesn't actually have that btw.
@@LayJD_ "need a true free market" it's a free market, when you FREE to pay 3 millions for surgery or FREE to die. In a proper communist state government provides you with all necessary medication free of charge.
I’m the 500th like
Vladimir You can’t really benefit from free medical treatment if you’ve starved to death.
@@LayJD_ no it does not, lmao
I remember this being in the news when it happened and it was deeply upsetting. I'm so glad to see she survived and seems to be a happy young woman.
Can't believe she's able to still go near and into a swimming pool ever again... bless her soul!
Amen!! Shes so brave
Audaciously Me ikr, exactly what I was thinking
Audaciously Me right? I would’ve been traumatised for life
Ok :)
RIGHT! I would have a panic attack every time I saw/near a pool!
how are people still billionaires? I'd give my last dime for this girl.
Me to :
Same :(
Nah I wouldn't, it's just some random human.there is alot worser things going on in the world..
people are billionaires because they worked hard for their money. you cant blame them lmao.
@@jaochokonams not always but I understand your point, however, would you be able to live with yourself, if you had the money to help others and didn't?
I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. You are a remarkable young lady!
After watching such wonderful u tubes such as your family’s, it makes me feel so selfish! Your daughter has gone thru so much, and is a happy girl, just accepting every day as we all should. We don’t truly realize how lucky we are to be healthy until we see what some children have had to endure with sickness. I truly bless parents as you, who continues to make life as normal and happy for their child, even tho they have to endure so much more than others and accept it as part of live without resentment. I pray your daughter gets the help she needs to live as normal a life as others.
Kim Kardashian makes $3m for tweeting, somebody show her this. There are people with billions who can help. This young lady is amazing. If I had the money I would pay it in a heartbeat. My son has cystic fibrosis and there is no cure for him right now. I know the feeling of praying and hoping and making the best out of your situation. Selma is amazing. So beautiful, smart, and what a great personality. My son also has machines he uses all day to keep his lungs working. Everyone deserves happiness xoxo
positive vibes❣️bless you and your family
Those selfish people wouldn’t even bother to think about it
MD Mc bless ur such a kind hearted person and u jut do u and stay strong , praying for your son 🙏
If I had the money so would I but also would be afraid of her body may reject the organs causing her more pain
Right! It's so many of those disgusting celebrities that can help her. It's so sad. Wish I could help her...
Not a controlling mother...a loving mother maybe. She is truly a blessing to survive...God bless you!
IK SHE LET HER GO BACK TO THE POOL BRUH
It’s all for the camera
@@jamesr.g.2320 What makes you think that, James?..
What she said about a controlling mother is just a joke..
typical 16 year old.
She is adorable.. her smile, her strengths, smart, humble, her speaking, her eyes.. I want to be as brave as she is.
I am gobsmacked. I've had a brain tumour, with resulting paranoia, terrible hallucinations and finally seizures before it was resolved. What she went through, and continues to, is incredible. Much worse than what I have gone through, and I think she is amazing, with such a strong outlook, and what a smart girl!
Hey, I think you're downplaying what you went through. You're strong for going through what sounds like a nightmare and you are kinda enough to think about her nightmare as well. Hope you stay well!
is no one gonna give credit to Salmas mum as well? Shes such a supportive mother and does everything she can for her. A handful of others out there wouldn't be able to give Salma the life she deserves. Both Salma and her mother are such strong-willed warriors.
you shouldn’t expect praise for doing the bare minimum
@@misseselise3864 what? 💀
Mothers don’t get enough credit for how selfless they can be ❤️
Shes a mother its expected
@@noname-ou3qj lol say that to every mother that has abandoned or left their child to suffer or die. You must be god
I was so scared and terrified just thinking about her situation over and over. I think id be traumatized to even look at pools
I'm going swimming today 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😱😱😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
L L saameee
CarlieRae Browne any trained CPO will know to check the main drain cover and ensure the suction level is safe daily. You should be safe. This poor girl’s story is exactly why I check everything so intensely each day I open the pool. If the pool is in the hands of a competent person you will be totally safe. Such a tragic story
I'd even be scared of the word pool 😬😬
She's so brave to still wanna go swimming especially when she face something so traumatic at a young age 😢 I would have PTSD every time I saw water if I were in her shoes she's really a strong girl
What a Brave mother and daughter 🙏...May God continue watching over you and heal you and Your Family .I Wish you all the best in Life.
What an amazing young lady and a lovely mom 💗💗💗
i wouldn’t go swimming ever again after that, i’d be traumatized
Same
Btw 200th like
I hope Truly didn't pressure her into swimming.
@@colorbar.s i highly doubt it
Remember that scene from "final destination"... where that handsome guy risks his life for one little worthless quarter, and ends up getting his intestines pulled out from the drain?
When I was younger my dad always said my stomach and intestines would get sucked out if I sat on or near one of those suction things. Didn't know it was something that actually happened to people.
You shouldn't be doing that
Dimitris Hourd I’m trying to find out the same thing I’m so curious
Dimitris Hourd from down there I’m guessing.. it’s scary. I remember always sitting on it, I never knew it can end up being a tragic accident. I’m afraid of swimming now
I did not know that either. That’s crazy
Same 😓
Medical costs are ridiculous!! This poor girl is such a survivor, so proud of her!
Rest Peacefully Salma Bashir🤍🕊️
She looks younger than 16 but sounds and acts even older, she is so mature and eloquent and intelligent, I kept forgetting she's only 16. And her mother is a pure soul
True
How is she 16 she looks so young
I thought the same thing. I wonder if something in the accident also affected her growth?
@@madilynnlong2597 because her organs got sucked out...
@@rebeccav4478 probably...
This happened at a local swimming pool near me when I was a kid as well. If this is happening to multiple people CLEARLY something needs to be changed about the way these pools function.
it's sadly all about probability. Just because car crash happens doesn't mean we should change the whole system. They should probably put warning signs about the suction being there to warn people though
@@joesr31 They should put a box grate around the suction.
Not sure where you are but it happened in Australia and the kid died unfortunately. It absolute shouldn’t happen and there should be some safeguard in the pool
Tom actually some pools do that even though they hurt to step on 😅
@@joesr31 This has nothing to do with probability or car crash this should not happen at all! 🤦🏾♀️
I hope some rich multi millionaire sees this video and had the heart to donate the money needed to give her a normal life😢
Salma is so strong and amazing. She’s goes swimming after her accident like it’s nothing, she has such a strong and confident personality. It’s like nothing can get in her way and she will accomplish everything she wants to accomplish. It’s so inspiring how she takes on every challenge life has for her while still living her best life. She’s amazing just like her mother.
Her mom seems to be so kind and loving and like an amazing caregiver and supporter. Seeing their love and their close relationship with each other really made me cry from joy. They are such a great team despite the difficult situation about her health and injury. ❤
I feel so bad for this girl, it's like the final destination pool scene in real life, but worst. I will be praying for you!!!
Yeah I Also thought about that scene ....
Yes its the first thing that came in my mind final destination scene. Im praying for this little girl
@7seve I'm actually twelve.
@7seve Your calling me a nine year old but you can't even spell correctly. 😂😂
T 51 you just watch when god comes u will figure it out he fought for us
It's crazy that this video has almost 2.5 million views yet only $70,000 have been raised on her gofundme. Please consider donating if you have the means. Even $1 could make a difference if everyone donated. 🙂
celgaro09 not everyone has money to donate. I’m pregnant and every penny counts right now. How much have YOU. Donated?
@@CrustyUgg You are not that much into reading, huh? He clearly stated someone should consider donating if they're able to and have the necessary money to do so..
@@CrustyUgg Hence why I put "if you have the means." It's completely understandable if you aren't able to donate. I donated what I had the means to donate, which was $10.
Yes if 2 million out of the 2.5 million viewers donated only $1 her GoFundMe would be at 2 million dollars
celgaro09 it’s been a little over a month and it’s already at 70k hopefully it keeps growing and reaches 70k a month then it will happen
Wow. What an inspirational young lady and such a lovely, warm hearted mother...I want to give you both a big hug!! X
This poor girl! I'm praying along with her momma too now that she gets the transplants she needs. My heart breaks for both of them. 🙏
I keep complaining about life,then I see this girl! Jesus forgive me.May you make the impossible possible.Amen
Amen 💯
Amen
yea rare cases like these to the many rare one's are crazy to interesting to make you think and happy for what you got and how your life is no matter what
@Ben Dover tHANK YOU
Glory Kathomi you’re allowed to have your feelings. You don’t have to say stuff like that
