Maria's Journey: Inspiring Hope on Giving Tuesday
As GivingTuesday approaches, we share Maria’s story—a tale that embodies our mission.
Maria was in a tough spot without health insurance and needed medical help ASAP. Shifa provided her with quality healthcare. But it didn’t stop there. Maria faced domestic issues and needed support. Shifa Women’s Center stepped up, giving her a safe place to stay, food, clothes, legal advice, counseling, and mediation support. Through your donations to Shifa, Maria’s health was restored, and her family transformed.
