Fr. Ben was able to chat with Kamel during his visit last year to Iraq. Kamel has a very humble furniture reupholstery business but it is enough to support his family of 3 after they returned. After fleeing from ISIS, you helped his family return and re-establish their roots. God bless you! 6/16/26 Kamel, a carpenter in Karamles. Kamel had to flee from ISIS in 2014 and has only just returned from Erbil. We are so happy to assist with his return home and building a sustainable life again. His shop is supporting 2 more in addition to himself. A perfect example of our mission – helping our Christian brethren maintain dignity and livelihoods in their homeland. God bless you for helping them! 2/11/25
