Ebtisam Hamasha
UAE
Meet Ebtisam, a 58-year-old woman whose life is a testament to strength, love, and unwavering dedication. A mother of six children, Ebtisam has faced extraordinary challenges with grace and resilience. Two of her daughters were born with *Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 6* (MPS 6), a rare genetic disorder that requires constant care and medical attention. Despite the immense emotional and physical demands, Ebtisam has been a tireless advocate for her daughters’ health, fighting tirelessly to ensure they receive the best possible treatment and care. Before dedicating her life to her family, Ebtisam was a passionate and inspiring history teacher, known for her ability to bring the past to life and instil a love of learning in her students. However, when her daughters’ needs became paramount, she made the selfless decision to leave her career and become a full-time caregiver. Her days are now filled with managing medical appointments, therapies, and the daily needs of her family, all while providing a nurturing and loving home. Through her journey, Ebtisam has taught her family and community the power of resilience, the importance of fighting for what matters most, and the beauty of unconditional love. Ebtisam is not just a mother; she is a true warrior and an extraordinary woman.
