Houssam Hammoudi is the Canadian man behind the viral blog, Operation Saving Grace. Houssam has a fiance named Grace Acojedo, one of the seriously injured victims during the super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) that hits Ormoc City, Leyte.
The Canadian citizen Hammoudi lives in Canada and when he learned about the incident in the Visayas, he immediately left his home and rushed to the City only to find his beloved severely wounded and injured after the roof of their house collapsed on her.
The story of Grace and Houssam went viral immediately after it was picked up by prominent news media organizations and world-renowned blogs such as HuffingtonPost, BuzzFeed, Global News Canada and Yahoo! News to name a few.
According to Houssam’s account Grace spent four days in horrendous conditions that have left her in bad shape right after the incident that almost took his life. Houssam decided to take her fiance to a better hospital in Cebu where she begun the long process of recovery.
Some of Grace injuries includes cuts on her face, critical eye trauma, a fractured jaw and a broken ulna and wrist aside from the infection in her leg which put her at risk of losing it.
The Canadian national Houssam was also thankful to Coast Guard Lieutenant who was only identified as Lt. Ramirez who (–foul word(s) removed–)isted him and Grace with his family to secure a ticket for their trip to Cebu after he found out that the clinic where Grace was first admitted failed to do the necessary treatment to the victim.
