He walked out of detention shackled not by chains, but by crushing debt.

On the morning of his release, Saddam stepped out of the prison where he had spent years of his life, only to return to a home in rural Damascus shattered by hardship. His parents, wife, children, siblings, and his widowed sister with her children all lived crammed together in the family’s small house under unbearable conditions. His wife struggles with a psychological crisis that began the moment he was detained. Freed but drowning in debt, Saddam now works for meager wages, struggling just to put food on the table. He desperately needs a helping hand—to repay debts and repair the crumbling home that shelters his family. Be the support that restores hope to his life.
