For Manal, the hardest part wasn’t just poverty or exile—it was the years she spent clinging to the hope that her husband, imprisoned for 11 years, would one day return. She waited, held onto every whisper, every rumor. But hope turned to heartbreak when she learned, after the prisons were opened, that he had been tortured to death just two months after his arrest. Since then, she has fought tirelessly to provide for her children, doing whatever work she can find, especially after UN aid was cut off. Debts have piled up, food has run scarce, and despite her resilience, she is now at a breaking point. Manal needs urgent support to keep her children fed and safe. Let’s stand by her and bring some light back into her life.
