I'm Raneen, a mother of three: Maryam (6 years old), Muhammad (4 years old), and Sarah (1 year and 4 months old).

My husband, Munir, 32, worked as an accountant in a jewelry store. We lived a simple life, but one filled with love and stability in a warm home we built little by little.

But everything changed suddenly… Our house was bombed, and our dreams burned beneath it. We were displaced, left without shelter, without security, without income.

My husband and I were injured; his right leg was seriously wounded and requires long and expensive treatment.

We miraculously survived, but survival isn't enough when you can't feed your children or provide them with a roof over their heads to protect them from the cold and fear.

I appeal to every living heart, every able person, to support us in this ordeal.

Every donation, no matter how small, is a lifeline for us and our children.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who hears our voice and chooses not to leave us alone.
