Mother to eight orphan children appeals for help
20/10/2016     Help No: H080000107

The widow Hamdi Hashim Rabah visited Basra Advice and Care Centre to seek and support from the harshness of life since her husband died.



Hamdi supports eight orphans ranging between the ages of 4 and 16, seven of whom are students attending school where their bills have become a strain due to her lack of financial resources.  In addition to this, one of her children suffers from gluten allergies, and she is unable to provide for his treatment or special food.



The widow lives with her orphans in one room in the house of one of her relatives.  There is no running water in the house, and they have to purchase of water for their daily needs.



This desperate widow visited us because she wishes to buy a rickshaw to assist her and her family in their hard work of collecting cans and selling them to earn some money.  The family works very diligently, but carrying the daily loads on her back is heavy and tiring for Hamdi.



The family are in need of:

 

  • Sponsorship of the orphans, to the value of £17 (25,000 IQD approx) for each orphan.

 

  • Financial assistance of £333 (500,000 IQD approx) to buy the rickshaw.

 

  • Financial assistance of £67 (100,000 IQD approx) to buy a water tank and a  heater for the beginning of winter.


Basra Centre staff hope that donors will extend a helping hand to this family to aid the struggling mother.
