10/08/2018 Iraq (International Christian Concern) – Prior to the invasion of ISIS, Raid used to own a market in Qaraqosh, Iraq. When he and his family fled, they lost everything.

Raid shared, “My wife gave birth on the 4th day of displacement. I didn’t have [a] place, neither money to buy clothes for our baby, nor milk and diapers. That was the worst feeling someone can ever feel. Although I used to sell milk and diapers for many years, I couldn’t maintain its avail­ability for my child because of the evil.”

Your dollars enabled ICC to help Raid reopen his market. We purchased many items, including a refrigerator and a meat grinder, to help him start this process.

“I feel like ‘Thank you ICC’ printed on paper is not enough to show my apprecia­tion,” Raid said.

When ICC visited the shop on opening day, it was full of customers.
