<div>Dear friends and kind-hearted people around the world,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We reach out to you today as a family from Gaza carrying both pain and hope in our hearts.
</div>
<div>Our story is not an easy one, but sharing it has become the only way to protect the life of our little daughter — 13-year-old Sidal Al-Hayek.
</div>
<div>A child who should have been enjoying school, play, and laughter… yet today she is fighting an illness that has taken away everything, even the simplest joys of childhood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sidal suffers from severe cerebral atrophy in the front part of her brain, which has caused complete paralysis.
</div>
<div>She cannot move, speak, or understand, and she relies on us for every moment of her life: eating, cleanliness, sitting, and even sleeping.
</div>
<div>On top of this, she experiences strong and dangerous seizures that require daily neurological medications—medications that are expensive and essential for her stability. Any interruption puts her life at serious risk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are a family of six members trying our best to care for our daughter with extremely limited means.
</div>
<div>Both her mother and father are elderly and unable to work or provide a stable income, and everything we have goes toward Sidal’s care.
</div>
<div>With four other children at home, the burden has become far greater than what we can carry alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sidal urgently needs:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Daily neurological medications
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Intensive physical therapy to prevent further deterioration
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Diapers and essential daily care supplies
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A specialized medical wheelchair for safe positioning
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Regular medical check-ups and follow-ups
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Home care equipment and medical necessities
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Preparation for spinal procedures due to severe muscle weakness
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to her medical needs, our family must secure the minimum essentials to be able to care for her, including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Monthly rent
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Food and basic groceries
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Clothing and essentials for the children
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Transportation for medical appointments
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support is the only hope we have to provide Sidal with the care she desperately needs.
</div>
<div>Any contribution — even the smallest one — makes a real difference in her life and gives her parents the strength to continue caring for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, we thank everyone who has supported us in the past and all those considering helping today.
</div>
<div>Your kindness gives us hope… and gives Sidal the chance to continue receiving treatment and remain as stable as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With sincere love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>The Al-Hayek Family
</div>
