This is Kareem and his sisters. They are in desperate need of your help.
The video, which went viral on Al-Jazeera, shows Kareem and his sisters bidding a tearful farewell to their father. In a heart-wrenching moment, Kareem comforts his sisters, saying, "I will support you, I promise you, I will be here for you all." Their pain is unimaginable, but Kareem’s promise to care for his family shows the strength and resilience in the face of heartbreaking loss. Iyad was the heart of their family, and his absence leaves an irreplaceable void.
This is more than a story—it’s a desperate cry for help. Kareem Iyad Qudaih, a 20-year-old with big dreams, has lost everything in the war in Gaza. His father, Iyad, was the only one providing for his family, struggling to find any work to support them. But on July 1st, 2024, their world shattered. Iyad was killed by shrapnel from an airstrike, leaving Kareem, his mother, and his five siblings without anyone to rely on.

The picture attached is the funeral prayer for Iyad, where Kareem, a young boy, bravely leads the prayer for his beloved father.
Now, Kareem is alone, trying to care for his family in a war zone where food, water, and safety are scarce. They’ve been displaced, and no aid has reached them for over a month. The prices of even basic necessities are through the roof. The situation is devastating, and they are surviving only by sheer will.
$15,000 will provide food, water, shelter, hygiene, and medicine—things most of us take for granted.
$5,000 will help provide a temporary shelter, like a caravan or solid tent, as their home is destroyed.
Every dollar makes a difference. Every bit of hope counts. Please, donate and share. Together, we can give them a chance to survive.

Together, we can offer them a chance, a glimpse of hope for a future filled with dreams, not dust.
