Language without Words

Haiffaa Ali

Every Thursday I go to Rocky Mountain Center for Cancer to get an IV because I have low hemoglobin. I see many women who suffer from cancer there. I feel their pain. I see the fear in their eyes. I cannot speak English very well and as you know, it is also not appropriate to talk in a hospital. So I sit there lost in a language without words and use the only tool I have left to speak silently, my eyes. We talk to each other with our eyes and we feel how much we have suffered. So I promised myself and my God that if I had a successful show, I would make these women suffering from cancer necklaces. I will tell them, I feel your pain and you are not alone. Maybe the necklaces are simple or even cheap gifts but they are handmade by a refugee woman from Iraq who has suffered a lot of pain and lost everything, me, Haiffaa Ali. I came to America with nothing and found hope. I will present these necklaces with all the names of those who help me achieve my dream to give hope to these women suffering from cancer.

Please help me make my goal possible by donating any beads or jewelry material to Stripes Gallery.
