Sarah’s Sole Provider Can’t Afford to Get Her the Special Education that She Needs - But You Can Help!

AMOUNT NEEDED

Sarah needs JOD 900 (JOD 300 a month for three months) to be able to go to a private school near her house that offers special education for students with special needs.

Sarah’s mother is a day laborer, working as a seamstress whenever possible, and receiving a maximum of JOD 5 a day, bringing the total income of the household to only JOD 150 a month.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Sarah used to go to private school up until Grade 4 and was slowly improving due to her teacher having special education experience, however, she deteriorated greatly after the pandemic, and the isolation further worsened her case. She went to a public school for Grade 5, as her mother could no longer afford private school, but she was traumatized by the number of students, the atmosphere and environment of the public school, and the teachers’ lack of knowledge in dealing with someone with special needs.

She needs your help so that she can start attending a special education center, so that they can follow up on her psychological and behavioral condition. Your donation will enable Sarah to one day lead a productive, happy life and be self-reliant.

SARAH’S STORY

Sarah’s mom is a single mother who’s the sole caretaker of her family. She works as a seamstress with an unfixed day-to-day salary, with a wage of only JOD 5 and no pension or other income. Sarah’s brother, Imran, suffers from a congenital deformity in both his eyes, and his vision doesn’t exceed 70%. Like her brother, Sarah also has congenital deformity in her right eye, therefore she uses medical glasses and follows up on her treatment at the Queen Rania Hospital - where both she and her brother have an exemption from the Royal Court. In addition, Sarah always suffered from cognitive disabilities and learning difficulties. She has always had emotional challenges and a debilitating inability to communicate. Sarah was finally diagnosed to be on the autistic spectrum at the age of 7; however, she is 11 years old now and has never received special education.
