In a modest social apartment that she shares with her ill mother, a brave single mother—survivor of domestic violence—fights a silent battle every day to provide her young son with a safe and dignified home. Despite numerous challenges, she doesn’t seek pity—only an opportunity to get back on her feet and offer her child a more carefree childhood.
During the month of Ramadan, Foundation Second, thanks to generous donors, transferred 350 EUR directly to the mother’s account, along with an additional 105 EUR to cover materials for a custom-built kitchen. The kitchen is currently being crafted by carpenter Senad Lončar, who selflessly dedicates his free time to help this family. Previously, he also made a storage cabinet for the boy’s belongings and donated two beds.
Foundation Second also provided two mattresses, quilts, pillows, and bedding, helping to establish basic living conditions for the family. Over the past months, the Foundation has sent financial aid directly to the mother’s account on several occasions.
Despite all that has already been done, we still need to raise funds for a corner sofa and a wardrobe—two essential pieces of furniture that would complete a safe and livable home.
In an emotional message, the mother expressed her gratitude to everyone who has helped:
"Thank you all beyond the skies. I pray that Allah rewards you double and accepts your good deeds—Amin. First, thank you Belma, for recommending me, my child, and my mother, and for standing by us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. Thank you to all the people who helped us and who continue to help others. May you live long, healthy lives—Amin."
These words of gratitude remind us how much timely support can mean—not just materially, but emotionally.
"When violence ends, the true struggle begins. It is our duty to add meaning, support, and dignity to that struggle. This mother did not ask for much—just the chance to provide her child with a peaceful and safe home. I am grateful to everyone who has already helped, and I invite all who can to take one more step. Every contribution makes a difference," said Belma Mujezinović, Director of Foundation Second.
