The author writes that a board member of Pure Hands told them of a family of three: a mother and her two daughters. According to the appeal, the situation in Yemen was so desperate that the mother gave her daughters poison and then took it herself. All three were found dead the morning before the appeal was written.
The author calls Yemen one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. At the time, the appeal said it was less than $3,000 short of its goal.
