OM MOHAMED'S STORY

OM MOHAMED'S STORY

Om Mohamed is Kurdish and lives in Erbil City, Iraq. Her husband abandoned her and her two sons some time ago and now the family moves from neighbour to neighbour with no home to call their own.

The family survives on bread, rice and tea. They rarely eat meat as they are dependent on the kindness of neighbours who are poor themselves.

Om Mohamed received an IR Qurbani pack containing meat and other food items. She accepted the pack with tears in her eyes, saying: "It is the first time someone has donated to me such a good quantity of food to keep me and my children."
