My name is Khalida Bibi and I am 51 years old. I live in a small village in Hafizabad with my husband and three children. Life has never been easy. My husband works as a daily wage laborer, and every day we depend on God’s provision to meet our family’s needs.
In August 2025, devastating floods struck our village. The flood destroyed almost everything we owned clothes, bedding, cooking utensils, and the few small savings we had. With nowhere safe to stay, we were forced to leave our home and spend several days moving from one dry spot to another on the roads. Those days were some of the hardest of my life. My husband could not go to work, and we had no income at all. I spent my time trying to protect my children, feed them as best I could, and keep them clean and healthy, but it felt impossible.
Each night, I prayed and asked God to give us strength and guide us through this hardship. The fear, uncertainty, and worry weighed heavily on all of us.
In the midst of this struggle, team from Pak Mission Society (PMS) and ORA arrived in our village. Through God’s provision they brought immediate assistance. They provided food, jerrycans, and hygiene kits, helping us feed our children, access clean water, and maintain dignity even in such difficult times. For the first time in weeks, we felt a sense of relief and hope.
The relief was more than just material aid it was a sign of hope. It reminded me that even in our darkest moments, God works through the kindness of others. For the first time in weeks, I felt a sense of peace as my children ate well. My husband, encouraged by this support, has begun thinking about how to return to work and restore our household.
Although our home and livelihood still need to be rebuilt, we now feel that recovery is possible. We dream of a stable life where our children can grow safely, where we can work to provide for them, and where our family can regain a sense of normalcy and dignity.
“We are truly grateful. Your help came when we had nothing left and gave us hope for the days ahead.” – Khalida Bibi
