Quiet crises, quiet heros

Every Wednesday in July, we will shed light on many stories about crises that go unnoticed because they happen in relative isolation: an elderly man fighting a chronic, life-threatening disease; a family desperate to find services for a child with a severe disability, a mother learning a new skill to make ends meet.

In these four stories, told by Red Crescent Society of Kyrgyzstan volunteers, we get to know people going through just these kinds of private challenges and we meet the quiet heros and heroines who are there to help.
