Title: KV 1.00
Type: Interview
Date: March 7th, 2019
Description: A 62-year-old woman born in Palestine and immigrated first to Ohio, then to Wisconsin. She takes care of her husband who suffered from a subdural hematoma around three years ago. She feels like her Muslim community supports the two of them, but when she really needs help, she can only rely on her children. They attend social events at Sakina Center, where she feels more interviewees may be found. She states that she thinks women with a difference in ability would be treated much differently than a man with the same difference, and that women would be viewed as less marriageable. In terms of support, she wishes that there was someone she could talk to about hard life choices, such as when and if she should put her husband into a nursing facility. She finds strength through her faith and hopes that the future generation has an easier time than she has had.
