“My body has been almost paralyzed for a year now. My bones are stiff, and standing is painful. That’s why I have to crawl to move, dear. There’s no one else in this house, just me, struggling to survive…” whispered Grandma Rawiyah, her eyes filled with tears.

At 89 years old, Grandma Rawiyah should be enjoying her old age surrounded by her children and grandchildren. But instead, she spends her days in suffering.

Her body has weakened, her hands tremble, and her breaths are short. She can no longer stand, and every day, she must crawl across her crumbling home just to get from one place to another.

Even more heartbreaking, she lives completely alone. No children, no grandchildren, no family to care for her. She relies on the kindness of neighbors for food.

If someone offers her a meal, she eats. But if not, she endures hunger, sometimes fasting the entire day.

It’s painful to see Grandma Rawiyah’s frail body—skin stretched over bone, exhausted from hunger. At times, she has even eaten hardened, stale rice just to fill her stomach.

Yet, despite her struggles, there is one thing Grandma Rawiyah never abandons: her faith. With the little strength she has left, she still prays, recites holy verses, even if her voice trembles and her breath is labored.

#KindSouls, let’s ease Grandma Rawiyah’s burden by sharing a little of what we have. No matter how small, your help will mean the world to her. Let’s support the elderly in need.
