Allow me to introduce you to Noor, a single mother to three young girls between the ages of 7 months and 6 years old. Noor is a resilient woman who survived years with her violent ex-husband before bravely escaping with her daughters to a shelter. One may not realize, however, that leaving is only the first step to independence and that Noor had a long journey ahead of her. When her time ran out at the shelter, she was forced to live in her car with her young children, hoping the requests she made for assistance would help. That was when one of our wonderful case managers heard about her situation and immediately took Noor and her daughters to a motel. Sabil USA paid for her stay until we were able to connect her with another DV shelter that provided stable housing for 6 months. Meanwhile, the search for employment was on, which was a difficult task for a mother who has two babies and a 6 year old to take care of. However, Allah SWT is capable of miraculous things when the intention is pure. Sabil was able to connect Noor with families that needed a babysitter and she was then able to work by watching over other children as well as her own. With employment found, Sabil then helped Noor put a deposit on a rental, furnish the apartment, and provide new clothes to help her and her children settle into their new home. With stable housing, Noor finally had a moment to breathe and the opportunity to focus on her education. She spent a whole year using our office as a quiet place to study for her college classes and today, Noor is a nurse assistant, raising three beautiful and smart young girls. We admire Noor’s sacrifices, struggles, and unwavering dedication to create a better life for her family and we are honored to have supported Noor as she reached her goals. 

       Noor’s story is just one of hundreds of single mothers that need support every month. Your generosity is what allows us to help Noor and many like her as they raised their family and pursued their goals. You have been the backbone to the life changing assistance that Sabil provides, and you are the reason we can continue to do so for the future. So, I take this moment to thank you for the support that you have given over the years and to show you the impact of your generosity. I implore you to keep Noor’s success story in your mind, to remember that the seeds we plant today can forever change the lives of those who deserve it.
