This is how Om Younes Hamdouna describes her daily struggle to provide adequate food items for her kids who experience the harshness of life in addition to the pain of their sickness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sugar-rich foods are the best choice for my sick children which help them to fight disease. They need to eat honey, jam and fruits; however, I can hardly offer the basic food items such as rice and beans\u201d She sadly added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the death of my husband, our lives have tragically changed. We are faced with very stressful circumstances as we don\u2019t own a stable source of income to depend upon in providing our life necessities as well as the therapeutic supplies for my kids.\u201d Om Younes continued<\/p>\n<p>Like thousands of Palestinian households that are living in difficult economic conditions; Om Younes\u2019 family was not appropriately prepared to start the holy month of Ramadan\u2019 as they did not have enough money to buy the necessary food for this month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe love this holy month especially because it is the month of charity and goodness. My children and I meet on one meal at the breakfasting time. Unfortunately; we did not feel the joy of receiving this Ramadan month at our home. My children wished to have different dishes to eat at the breakfasting of the first day but unfortunately I couldn\u2019t present any of them\u201d she continued<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy son asked me to cook him a dish of rice called \u201cKabsa\u201d. The first week of Ramadan passed without being able to manage it. I couldn\u2019t buy the rice and chicken to prepare this dish\u201d Om Younes said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIslamic Relied is the first organization to communicate with us to benefit from its Ramadan project which is implemented every year. I was very happy to be told that I had to come to the supermarket to buy the necessary food items. I even checked with my children on the items that we need and recorded them on a paper. It is the only opportunity for us to buy our food supplies and I don\u2019t want to forget to bring any of them\u201d. Om Younes ardently stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI bought rice, sugar, cooking old and different types of cheese. I will come back home and cook the \u201cKabsa\u201d today for my sick son, Ahmed\u201d Om Younes said with a smile on her face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese food supplies will be sufficient for my children for the two coming weeks. Thank Allah; I will not worry about providing food for my family and I will dedicate my time to worship this month\u201d she said<\/p>\n<p>.\u201cPraise be to Allah. Finally; my sick children will eat jam on the Sohour time tonight. You helped me to reduce the pain and suffering of my sick kids during Ramadan holy month. Thank you indeed\u201d Om Younes concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12203,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0},"categories":[76,73,94,77],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSC_7498.jpg?fit=6016%2C4016&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12202"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12202"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12204,"href":"https:\/\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12202\/revisions\/12204"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irpal.ps\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
