Red Bow.
Mariam’s father wasn’t in the picture and her mother struggled with alcoholism. At one point, Mariam and her two younger sisters were renting a room from a landlord, but he got a bucket of hot water, filled it with maggots, and splashed it all over their room. The girls screamed and ran from the home they knew. A school uniform can’t fix that, but it can help Mariam feel a sense of belonging in a life of chaos. Her favorite part of her uniform? The red bow. Proper clothing matters…the $15 donation to provide that uniform mattered.
