Hila with Hava and Manar. "On April 22, 2001, I was on my way to work, waiting at the bus stop in Kfar Saba. A man blew himself up, killing two, and injuring ninety-seven people. My ribs, jaw, and teeth were all shattered. Today, two years after the bombing, I am undergoing a long series of treatments and in about five months I will undergo the last surgery on my jaw. I haven’t been able to work in two years and am in a very bad financial and emotional state. My husband left me while I was pregnant and now I’m raising my eight-month-old daughter on my own. We have to deal with all the suffering and difficulties alone. I hope and pray to God that we will not know any more sorrow and pain. I hope and pray for only good things. I must be strong for Hava; we must not be broken. I wish everyone happiness and love and, most importantly, good health."
