Mr. President
Faisal Ruwaiha is from the people of Amarah and currently resides in Baghdad, and he is
a poor man who needs assistance. He used to receive from the community
a small financial aid to buy goods such as fruits and others and sell them
as a vendor on carts, and through this means he earns his living and the living of
⟦his family⟧. The profits he receives are five or six dinars annually,
and one of the community's employees buys those goods for him. We hope
for the allocation of the amount you deem appropriate for this year.
