“I have five children. My youngest is still in school. Most mornings, I have to give up part of my own share so my child does not go to school hungry. My husband passed away two years ago. Since then, I have been trying to be both mother and father to my children.

When we wake up for suhoor, our table is often very simple. At iftar, even one pot of hot food changes the look on my children’s faces. With this food package, I will cook beans and rice for them. My eldest son especially likes it when I add a little more beans on top of his rice. Thanks to you, I can set our iftar table with peace of mind.

It moved me deeply that you came all the way to my door. For the first time in a long time, someone knocked on my door with such kindness.

May Allah be pleased with you.”
