Doctors were confused and they didn’t know what to do, or what her sickness was! Shortly after, my mother died.

I am a fifteen year old girl from Lebanon. I was living under the protection and support of my parents and living a happy simple life full of joy and happiness.

Dad was very kind to me and he would do whatever it takes to bring me what I want, although he was poor. He worked very hard to secure a happy life for me and my mum.

Suddenly, my dad got sick and we became very sad because of that. Within days his sickness worsened. He spent most of his last days at the hospital. This affected me psychologically. I hated going to school because I wanted to be next to him. As a result I could not catch up with my school and studies. Then he died. It was shocking. I lost the affection, compassion and love that were covering me while my dad was alive.

The season of Hajj came, and my mum went to perform Hajj. I was waiting for her to come back; we have never been apart before. I was so happy I’m going to see my mother, and what happened was not expected. My mum has been taken from the airport directly to the hospital as she was in a coma. I rushed to the hospital to see her, she was in a very critical condition and couldn’t move.

Doctors were confused and they didn’t know what to do, or what her sickness was! Shortly after, she died.

Life became a complete mess, living with neither dad nor mum. I went to my late uncle's house to live with his widow and kids, and after a while because of some circumstances I moved to my other uncle's house as his daughter is same age as me. Soon thereafter some problems occurred, and I went back to my first uncle’s house again. I became depressed and couldn’t manage any longer.

But Alhamdulillah, ALLAH provided me with someone to help, someone to take care of me, advise and guide me to the right direction.

The supervisors at Human Appeal International played a big role in restoring my life. The sponsorship which is provided to me by Human Appeal had a great effect on me, I now can live independently, and to do my best to finish my study in order to achieve the success in my life. But I do not know what the days are hiding.

I ask Allah (SWT) to bless HAI and I ask Him to enable them to support every needy orphan, and I have great trust in ALLAH (SWT) that you will not leave me alone so that I can continue to work for my life and achieve my dreams…
