Hi friends,

Two and a half years into the genocide in Gaza, Fadi Qudaih and his family have barely survived and they are still living in tents.

When Fadi returned to his village, Khuza'a, he found nothing but rubble and sand. He went searching for his cousins so he could bury them, but found only skeletons. There are 10 more family members he still hasn't found.

The family is profoundly exhausted. "We need to rest," Fadi wrote to me. "We have been very tired in this genocide. For two years, I have seen everything and held the remains of children in my hands. I have developed a chronic illness from this war.”

Fadi continued: "We will return again and rebuild our village. We will return to our schools and universities. The children deserve a beautiful life."

But in the short term, Fadi says, "We will need to remove debris, clear a place to pitch the tent, and buy winter clothes."

Please give what you can to support Fadi and his family in staying warm, staying fed, and staying sheltered until they can rebuild their lives.
