Khaled
Background: Khaled Al-Ardani is the primary breadwinner for a family of seven in Sana’a, Yemen. His main source of income is derived from operating a small food stand. In this modest venture, he prepares and sells food items from a small hut. The income Khaled is able to generate does not cover the family’s basic needs. Recent substantial medical expenses have further burdened the family and their income has not been able to keep up. This added financial burden made a donation even more crucial in supporting both the healthcare needs and the financial sufficiency of the entire family.
