Karbala Branch

Widow and her five orphans appeal for help

A widow (Israa. K), mother to five orphans, recently contacted Karbala Branch imploring the charity to help her and her destitute family.  

Upon receiving her distress call, one of the volunteers from the Branch, made a field visit to review the family’s living conditions.  They found that the mother and her five young orphans live with their grandmother, who is elderly and sick, living in a home not suitable for purpose.

The dwelling consists of two rooms and a roof made of aluminium that does not offer protection from either the rain or the scorching summer heat.

The father died about four months ago and the family was left without a breadwinner. This family is in dire need of:

- Monthly sponsorship of 25,000 IQD (approx. £ 15) per month for each orphan (x5)

- A donation of 200,000 IQD (approx. £120)  to buy a cooker.

-A donation of 250.000 IQD (approx. £150) to purchase a washing machine.

-A donation of 100.000 IQD (approx. £ 60) to purchase bed sheets and mattresses.

- A donation of 100,000 IQD (approx. £60) towards medical treatment and doctor's check-ups. 

Staff from Karbala Branch appeal to all the good people of the world to reach out and help this destitute family.
