“Valar morghulis” – “All men must die”. That shadow lies over our world and will until medical science gives us all immortality… but I don’t think it makes it necessarily a pessimistic world. Not any more pessimistic than the real world we live in. We’re here for a short time and we should be conscious of our own mortality, but the important thing is that love, compassion, and empathy with other human beings is still possible. Laughter is still possible! Even laughter in the face of death… The struggle to make the world a better place… We have things like war, murder and rape… horrible things that still exist, but we don’t have to accept them, we can fight the good fight. The fight to eliminate those things. There is darkness in the world, but I don’t think we necessarily need to give way to despair. One of the great things that Tolkien says in Lord of The Rings is “despair is the ultimate crime.” That’s the ultimate failing of Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, that he despairs of ever being able to defeat Sauron. We should not despair. We should not go gentle into that good night.

I'm 18 years old. The war took my father and completely destroyed our home, leaving my family of six living in a small, worn-out tent with almost nothing.

I'm the youngest daughter in my family, and despite everything we've endured, I still dream of continuing my university education and building a better future.

After two previous fundraising campaigns were stolen, I had to start over from the beginning. Even so, I haven't lost hope.

Your support, no matter how small, can help us secure food, basic necessities, and safer shelter. If you can't donate, please share my story—it may reach someone who can.

Ahmed lives in Gaza with his mother and family after losing his beloved father, who was martyred during the war. Their home was completely destroyed, leaving them to survive in a worn-out tent that barely protects them. ⛺

Every day, Ahmed walks to collect water, searches for food, and helps his family survive. Instead of enjoying his childhood, going to school, and playing with friends, he spends his days struggling to secure the basic necessities of life. 💧🍞

Despite everything, Ahmed still dreams of living in peace, continuing his education, and simply being a child again. 📚🕊️

Please help Ahmed and his family. Your support can provide food, dignity, and a new tent where they can finally feel safe. Every donation, no matter how small, brings hope to their lives. ❤️
