A Family in Crisis: Your Help Can Make a Difference

I created this fundraiser for Mahmoud Al Sheikh, a 31-year-old man living in unimaginable circumstances with his family. Before the devastation began, Mahmoud was an ordinary man, running a clothing shop and providing for his loved ones. (You can see him in the photos—middle, bottom row.)

Now, his life has been completely upended. The aggression some call “war” has taken everything from him: his friends, relatives, home, car, and livelihood. Mahmoud told me that even his car, his shop, and his house were bombed, leaving him and his family with nothing but heartbreak and fear.

He shared a harrowing story—his uncles were martyred right before his eyes. Can you imagine the sheer trauma and despair? No one should have to live in such danger.

Now, Mahmoud and his surviving family dream of escaping to safety. But leaving the danger zone comes at a steep cost—$5,000 per person.

This is where your kindness can bring hope. Every single donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. Together, we can help them leave behind the horrors of war and start anew in safety.

Thank you for taking the time to read Mahmoud’s story. If you can, please donate and share this campaign with others who might be moved to help. Together, we can be the light in their darkest hour.

Your support means the world. Thank you!
