HASHEM’S STORY
Hashem, a 9-year-old boy and the youngest of a family of five, began experiencing severe stomach pain five years ago. He also showed symptoms like yellowing of the face, vomiting, dizziness, and a rash with intense itching. After several doctor visits to determine the cause, it was discovered that he has a wheat allergy.
Providing wheat-free foods is a burden for the family, as their income is limited. Meeting Hashem's dietary needs requires a special budget every month, and his father’s income is insufficient to cover all the family's needs due to other financial obligations.
