My name is Nina, and my cousin Hanaa is not just family—she is my sister in every way that matters. She has been a cornerstone of my and I am here on her behalf. Recently, we were struck by an unimaginable loss when Hanaa’s beloved husband, someone we cherished deeply, passed away due to unforeseen complications from a sudden illness. Words can’t fully capture the depth of this loss, but I know many of you understand the pain that comes with losing someone so dear.

In the coming weeks, I plan to travel to be by her side, travel to Lebanon where I will hope to offer what comfort I can during this heart-wrenching time. However, alongside the emotional toll, Hanaa now faces overwhelming financial burdens from medical and funeral expenses.

If you know me, you know her—Hanaa is the first to offer help and the last to leave when someone is in need. Now, I’m asking on her behalf. If you are able, any contribution, no matter the size, would help lift some of the weight from her shoulders and allow her to focus on healing. Your support during this time would mean the world to us and would be a profound honor.
