Haleema Bibi is an elderly mother whose own sons no longer even ask about her well-being. Living in a small rented room, she faces the hardships of life along with her three young daughters. To earn an honest living, she used to buy spices from the market, grind them herself, pack them on her own, and sell them to local shops—this was her only source of support. However, an accident took this support away as well.
