Nidhal’s Journey from Hardship to Hope

For Nidhal, a 60-year-old widow from Najaf, Iraq, life has been an uphill battle. The loss of her husband, son, and daughter-in-law left her as the sole provider for her seven daughters and grandson. 

Her responsibilities were made even more challenging by serious health issues within her family—two of her daughters suffer from critical brain conditions, requiring constant care. On top of this, food insecurity became a daily struggle, forcing Nidhal to stretch her meager resources just to put a meal on the table. 

Amid this hardship, The Zahra Trust stepped in, offering lifesaving support through regular food aid. Essential food parcels arrived at her doorstep, providing nutritional relief and lightening the immense burden she carried. 

These food parcels, especially during the month of Ramadan, ensured that Nidhal and her family never had to go hungry. With this vital support, she was able to redirect her focus to her daughters’ well-being and medical needs. 

“I have suffered so much,” Nidhal shared. “But your support has given me hope. I am deeply grateful for the kindness you show my family.” 

Beyond the food itself, this assistance restored hope and stability to Nidhal’s life. Knowing that she could count on consistent aid and compassionate check-ins from The Zahra Trust gave her a sense of security in an otherwise uncertain world. 

Her story stands as a testament to the impact of charitable giving. The simple act of providing food has transformed her reality—turning overwhelming struggles into moments of relief, hope, and resilience.
