SUZAN’S STORY 

Suzan is a 49-year-old mother of a family with several children, the oldest of whom is 18 years old and the youngest 5. She once lived a simple but relatively stable life while her husband worked in a local shop, supporting the family with a modest yet steady income.

The family’s life changed completely after her husband suffered a workplace injury that resulted in the loss of three fingers on his right hand. This injury not only left a physical impact but also directly affected the family’s livelihood, as he could no longer continue working and was unable to find alternative employment due to his disability.

As their situation worsened, Suzan’s husband was forced to collect scrap from the streets to provide daily requirements for his family, earning a very limited income that barely covers basic needs, especially with children of different ages to support.

Suzan’s family suffers from a severe shortage of life’s essentials. Items many consider basic have become distant dreams for them. The family does not own a refrigerator, making summer especially harsh, as they are unable to drink cold water or store food safely from the heat, adding to their daily hardship.

Today, Suzan’s family lives under extremely difficult circumstances, trying to cope with patience and hope while waiting for a helping hand to ease the burden of life and grant her children a more dignified and secure future.
