Although the days of Ramadan are behind us, the stories that were created during that period continue to live on through those to whom they meant the most. Among them is a family from Goražde, members of the Association for Persons with Special Needs of the Bosnian-Podrinje Canton, where a boy on the autism spectrum is growing up.

During Ramadan, this family, together with other families involved in the association’s work, received a Ramadan support package worth 100 EUR. However, its value was not only in the groceries that made their daily life easier, but in the feeling that someone is thinking of them and understands their needs.

Caring for a child on the autism spectrum brings additional challenges – from organizing daily activities to adapting the environment and ensuring the stability that is especially important for children. In such circumstances, every form of support carries special meaning.

Through its various activities, Foundation Second strives to stand by families facing challenges, building a space of understanding, inclusion, and togetherness – both in Sarajevo and in other parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This story reminds us that Ramadan is not only a time of giving, but also a time when we learn how to be present for one another. And what begins in that time does not end with its passing.

Because sincere care does not last only one month. It remains – in everyday life, in memory, and in the feeling that no one is forgotten.
