Hi my name is Cushla and I'm raising funds for my dear friend Abdullah.

Out of the rubble, Abdullah has recently created a cat sanctuary for rescued cats and kittens and has given hope and love amidst the most unspeakable horrors. Abdullah also cares and provides for 16 family members, all of whom rely on donations to stay alive.

This is Abdullah's own words about his situation:

Help Me Support 16 Family Members and Continue My Education

My name is Abdullah and writing this is one of the hardest things I have ever done. I never imagined I would reach a point where I would need to ask for help publicly, but the responsibility I carry has become too heavy to manage alone.

I live with a family of 16 members, including 5 young children.

Each one of them depends on us for food, safety, warmth, and emotional stability. In the current circumstances, supporting such a large family has become overwhelming.

We are facing severe financial hardship. There is no stable source of income, and daily life has become a constant struggle.

Providing basic necessities such as:

• Food for 16 people

• Clean water

• Medicine and medical care

• Hygiene supplies

• Electricity and essential living costs

has turned into a daily challenge filled with stress and uncertainty.

The five children in our family deserve safety and a normal childhood. Instead, they are growing up surrounded by financial pressure and instability.

As adults, we try to protect them from fear, but the emotional weight is exhausting.

Watching children worry about basic needs is heartbreaking.

On a personal level, I also have a dream that feels far away right now — continuing my education.

I was working toward completing my studies because education is the only long-term solution for our family.

It is my path toward stability, independence, and the ability to provide consistent support without relying on emergency aid.

Unfortunately, due to financial hardship and family responsibilities, my education has been put on hold.

I do not want temporary relief. I want a real chance to rebuild our future.

Your support will help us:

• Secure food and daily essentials for 16 family members

• Cover urgent medical and living expenses

• Reduce the overwhelming financial pressure

• Allow me to resume and complete my education

• Build a sustainable future for the children

We also care for our beloved cat, Adriana. She may seem like a small detail in a big crisis, but she brings comfort and emotional support to the children during stressful times. She is part of our family.

Asking for help is not easy. It requires humility and courage.

But I am choosing hope over silence.

Any donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference.

And if you cannot donate, sharing this campaign could help us reach someone who can.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading our story.

Thank you for your compassion.

Thank you for giving 16 people — including 5 innocent children — a chance at stability and hope. "
