Nidhal Garmo grew up in a family of 8 in Baghdad, Iraq until she immigrated to the United States in 1980. Upon arriving, she began working as a cashier in a grocery store and also attended college at Wayne State University. The security and opportunities she found in America were unlike that of any other country. She was able to create a life for herself and her family that she could not have expe
rienced elsewhere. When she graduated from college, she earned a position working as a pharmacist for Perry Drugs, which is now Rite Aid. After 5 years, she decided to establish her first pharmacy, Nidhal’s Pharmacy, as part of the Sav-Mor franchise in Farmington Hills, Michigan. She spent her entire childhood in Iraq, which instilled her love for her home country and never forgot the suffering people. She was determined to help after seeing firsthand how so many individuals struggle on a daily basis. In 2003, she began sending medicine, money and other donations to a few families. She immediately realized that wasn’t enough and her passion ignited and grew. She volunteered at a non-profit organization called World Medical Relief, which she considers one of her biggest blessings. After several years of working with this organization, she became the Ambassador of Health for Iraq for WMR. You can feed an entire family for a day with $1.
