A Father’s Plea for His Children’s Future

My name is Ayad Al-Banna. I am 50 years old and currently living under extremely harsh and difficult conditions. My home was completely destroyed, and I have no shelter. I am overwhelmed by debt—over $200,000—due to trying to rebuild the house. I have a family of six and am unable to meet their basic needs because I was injured during the war and underwent multiple surgeries, leaving me unable to move.

My son, Mohammad, who is only 16, takes care of everything for the family because of my disability. My daughter, Shahd, is 22 years old and had to suspend her university education due to the war. Please help Mohammad and Shahd travel abroad so they can continue their education and build a better future.

My younger daughter, Maryam, is only 3 years old, and my son, Karam, who is just 1, was born during the war. They are in urgent need of diapers and milk.

Please help us live in safety. Help us find a way to travel abroad and rebuild our lives.
