Help Save Adam: A Child's Fight for Safety

UPDATE: Adam has become very thin due to malnutrition. Support is needed urgently. 

UPDATE: Adam is now in the hospital recovering from his injury and needs emergency help to cover medical expenses and food. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting him. We need you now more than ever. 

 UPDATE: 

Adam, just 4 years old, was struck by a shrapnel in his stomach when a tent near him was bombed. His intestines were torn, and he’s now fighting for his life in emergency surgery. His condition is critical. We don’t know yet if he’ll survive. What we do know is that his family is desperate — they need immediate support to cover medical expenses and to ensure Adam has access to proper nutrition if he makes it out of surgery. No child should have to suffer like this. Please, if you’re able, donate and share. Time is running out, and Adam’s life hangs in the balance.

Hello everyone I'm here to give an update on Malak and her little brother Adam. I am raising emergency funds for my good friend in Gaza. We met earlier this year. I am from the USA but i am organizing this fundraiser to help Save Adam.

Adam Siam is just 4 years old and was born with Down syndrome. Before the war, Adam was full of life. He loved his family deeply—his siblings, aunts, uncles, and especially his grandmother, who cared for him with endless love. She made sure he had everything he needed—clean clothes, warm meals, toys, and even a special bed where he could sleep comfortably. Adam loved the little things: eating chips, chocolate, and drinking juice. He liked helping carry pots to get food for his family. He enjoyed tidiness and routine, and he could tell the difference between what was real and what wasn’t. He never hated anyone. He simply loved. But now, everything has changed. Since the war began, Adam has lost nearly everything that made him feel safe. He no longer has access to the speech therapy he needs. He no longer plays freely, sleeps peacefully, or feels secure. His beloved grandmother is gone. Adam now lives in a tent, displaced and frightened. When he hears planes overhead, he covers his ears in fear. When his family talks about going back home, he cries—too afraid of the Israeli military forces to return. Adam doesn’t understand war. He only knows fear. He’s been stripped of his childhood, his routines, his peace, and the care he once had. Like all children, Adam has the right to feel safe. He has the right to play, learn, receive therapy, express himself, and grow up with love and dignity. But Adam has been deprived of all of this. When will Adam see the light again? Please help us support Adam—to restore a sense of safety, to give him access to the care he needs, and to help him reclaim the childhood he’s lost.
