Within a year, “....” suffered from major losses at once. She became a divorced woman who has breast cancer overnight. Life lost its bright colors and turned to a dark color and a Greek tragedy. “....” did not obtain an academic certificate; she just learnt how to read and write. She got married at a young age and gave birth to two children and her husband decided to divorce her after a marriage lasted for years. She had to be satisfied with this fact and started looking for a job to secure her life and her children’s life but life gave her another shock.

A while after the divorce, “....” felt pain in her body. She felt as if something was eating her body from the inside. She decided to contact Baheya Foundation after her sister had insisted. She just called them to check on her health and there she received the big shock: “You have breast cancer”. 

She talks about this shock: “I never imagined it to be real. I thought at first that there was a medical error, or my file had been mixed with another patient’s file. After a while, I realized what was happening, I have breast cancer. I did not worry about myself, but my biggest fear was my children. For whom would I leave them after their father abandoned them?” 

“.....” started her treatment journey in Baheya Foundation and there was the beginning that was gifted to her by Allah: “I found a new family that embraced me and provided me with the necessary support to face life again. In Baheya Foundation, I learned that life is about defeats and victories and in all cases I have the necessary power to face the defeat with quietness and the victory with humbleness”.  

Through the emotional support department at Baheya Foundation, “.....” succeeded in continuing her education and got the technical diploma certificate. She learned through workshops and professional training, a new profession that is more suitable for her as it does not require being out of the home much time. She says: “Baheya provided me with the necessary support, they helped me to continue my education and now I have a certificate by which I can progress more in the educational course. In addition, through the workshops of accessories making and embroidery, I got a new income source that is suitable for me and for the conditions of my small family...  I am grateful for Baheya Foundation, not only for providing me with the treatment but also for providing me with the necessary support to be able to face life's difficulties”.
