Today was one of the happiest days for me and my children.
Today, I withdrew what was left of the donations I received thanks to your support and kindness to finally buy some food for my children. A few supply trucks were allowed in, with high prices, but it was still a chance we couldn't miss.
I was able to buy some flour, vegetable oil, cheese, and sugar.
These may seem like ordinary things to you, but to us, they are dreams come true.
I woke up early to bake each of my children a piece of bread half to eat at the start of the day, and the other half at the end. I filled them with that delicious cheese weāve missed for so long.
I made them sweet tea with sugar something we hadnāt tasted in a long time.
My little one, Youssef, who still doesnāt speak, pointed to the tea and said, āMe⦠meā¦ātrying to say he wanted some too.
And Hussein looked at me and said, āMama, I feel like Iām dreamingā¦ā
They sat together and enjoyed the moment as if they had entered another world.
I donāt know how to express to you what I felt, or the joy I saw on their faces.
But I do know this: none of it wouldāve been possible without your compassion.
You were the ones who raised our voices when the world turned away.
I canāt say that the famine is over but today, for just a moment, it stepped back.
Today, I seized what felt like our last chance to live a happy day.
I trust that you wonāt leave us alone.
Please, keep supporting us. Help us bring a little joy into our childrenās lives.
Your donations are not just support they are life itself.
