“When Ramadan was approaching, I felt a heavy weight on my shoulders. I didn’t know how I would buy the things we needed—milk, rice, and other essentials. I was stressed, praying for a way out, because I had no money to spare. Then the food basket arrived. It felt like my prayers were answered. Everything I needed was there—thoughtfully prepared and delivered with such care. I cried tears of relief and gratitude. It wasn’t just about the food—it was about the feeling that someone had thought of us, cared about our struggles, and wanted to help. This initiative gave me hope, reminded me of the beauty of mercy and equality, and brought warmth to my home in more ways than one. Thank you for making us feel seen, supported, and valued.” – Mother of a Grade 5 Student in Iraq
