Felicia Hadjesmaili is Making a Difference Through the Fahma Humanitarian Organization International
In the heart of McKinney, Texas, the Fahma Humanitarian Organization International Inc. has become a lifeline for many mothers struggling to make ends meet. Founded by Felicia Hadjesmaili, a single mother who has faced similar challenges, Fahma has emerged as a beacon of hope, offering food, resources, and a sense of community to those in need.
The Mission of Fahma
Felicia’s personal story of hardship as a single mother raising three children without financial support inspired her to take action. Drawing from her own experiences with food pantries and community aid, she established Fahma to provide assistance to families navigating similar struggles. “Empowering mothers, nourishing children” is Fahma’s mission, striving to ensure that no child goes hungry and that every mother has the resources she needs to create a better future.
For many single moms, financial stability often teeters on the edge, and Fahma steps in with food assistance, household items, and personal care products, helping these mothers focus on what truly matters: raising their children in stable, loving environments.
Standing Against Hunger
The daily struggle to put food on the table is an all-too-common reality for many single mothers. Hunger is not just a physical burden but a mental one as well, leading to anxiety, helplessness, and feelings of failure. Fahma’s food pantry directly addresses this issue by providing over 199,000 pounds of food annually, ensuring no family goes hungry. Through this support, Fahma helps break the cycle of hunger, giving mothers the chance to focus on rebuilding their lives instead of worrying about their next meal.
iRiseDFW: A Community of Givers
Fahma’s impact extends beyond food assistance. Private donors cover operational costs, allowing every contribution from the community to go directly toward supporting families. Through programs like iRiseDFW, a monthly giving and volunteer initiative, Fahma has built a network of supporters who believe in the cause. This partnership ensures that Fahma’s work continues, providing consistent aid to those in need.
Building a Future of Hope
Fahma seeks not only to provide temporary relief but to build lasting change. Each time a mother walks into the pantry and shops with dignity, she is reminded that she is not alone. Fahma’s client-choice pantry is designed to allow clients to select their food and household items, creating an experience that mirrors a traditional grocery store. This fosters a sense of independence and normalcy, helping struggling families regain their confidence.
Fahma’s impact is clear: 355 families served, 250 children receiving toys, and 900 individuals receiving food and resources. These numbers reflect real change in the lives of people in McKinney, with the potential to ripple out into the broader community.
