The Hardships of Life

The next house we visited was a family of three located not far from the elderly couple. The family consisted of a middle-age couple and a young child. The house which they reside in is also unstable and in very bad condition. The husband collects sand from a nearby stream and sells it. This stream is very polluted but is their primary source of water. They use it for everything. They cook with it, wash in it, wash their clothes in it etc.

The husband makes about $200 a month by selling sand. We offered them enough to live on for 6 months. They were very emotional and thankful. May Allah reward all of our supporters.
