Poor widow appeals to for help to provide for her orphans

Staff from Karbala Branch visited the widow, Sahar J.S. and her family.  Sahar lives with her two orphans in a small and dilapidated house in a slum area. The house does not offer any protection to them from either the heat of summer heat or the winter cold. 

The widow lost her husband.  There is no breadwinner in this family, nor any source of income except for a small social welfare benefit, that is insufficient for their needs.  The family relies on support from kind benefactors. The children are all in education. 

The staff inspected the house to assess the extent of damage, in particular to the ceilings, the walls and the kitchen.  The house lacks basic conditions suitable for a decent living.

This family needs: 

- Monthly sponsorship for the orphans of 50.000 IQD (approx. £30) per orphan, per month.

- A donation of 300.000 IQD (approx. £175) to buy a refrigerator.

- A donation of 200.000 IQD (approx. £120) to buy a cooker.

- A donation of 50.000 IQD (approx. £30) to buy an electric heater.

The widow appeals to people of charity to help her provide for some of her family's needs.
