They live in a house that needs a lot of repairs.

Abbas Samir is 8 years old. He tragically became orphaned in the same year when he lost his beloved father to heart failure. Two of Abbas’s siblings no longer attend school due to financial constraints. Abbas’s mother works hard to provide for Abbas and his three siblings, but her low income from the sale of homemade bread is not enough to provide for this family. Thus, Ali, the older brother (16 years old), was forced to quit school in order to attempt to provide for the family.

Please consider sponsoring Abbas or any of her siblings to provide relief to this family who has endured such heartache and loss for as long as these children can remember.

I.C. Hope implements a strict and rigorous fund allocation system whereby funding is paid to the orphan guardian with proof of funds spent (receipts from grocery/food markets, clothing retailers, furniture/appliance retailers, home rent, etc.) validated by ongoing social service visits to confirm appropriate purchases. Due to our on-site team and volunteers, every family is regularly visited to ensure funds are directly supporting our beloved orphans. Our team in Washington D.C. (USA) regularly visits Iraq to ensure this operation and also to witness the beaming faces of the orphaned children receiving a new pair of glasses when they could not see the chalkboard, or a new pair of shoes because their feet were bleeding from inadequate shoes, or a family benefitting from a new bed who no longer have to sleep on concrete ground, etc.

If an orphan sponsor would like regular progress updates or correspondence with a beloved orphan, please do not hesitate to contact our team at info@ichope.org, and appropriate arrangements will be made. Please note we prioritize the well-being and safety of our orphans. Thus sensitive information such as home address may be withheld.
