Dear friends,
I want to share something difficult but important with you. After your incredible kindness helped us reach the goal for my father’s medical treatment, our home was severely damaged during the recent heavy rains. The water flooded several rooms, leaving the house unsafe—especially for my father, who needs a stable and healthy environment during his recovery.
Because of this unexpected crisis, I have had to increase the fundraising goal to cover the essential repairs needed before winter arrives. This was not an easy decision, but it has become necessary for our family’s safety and my father’s well-being.
Your support has already changed our lives in ways I can never fully express. Any contribution—no matter the size—will make a profound difference for us in this urgent moment.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion, generosity, and humanity.

Hello there, I'm just using my priviledged situation to make possible the fundraising of my friend and her family in Gaza. It's the only way to help them, please join me in supporting, donating and praying.
Here you are her story....
My name is Rola Ameen, the oldest daughter of a family of six girls and beautiful parents. We had a calm and warm life despite our hard economic situation in Gaza, until the 7th of October when our life changed forever. I write my story to give you a glimpse of how life could change in the blink of an eye, and to ask you to just imagine how we are living now.
Since the first day of the war, I started to lose, one after another, many of my family members, relatives, and friends due to the Israeli killing machine. I lost my beloved fiancé, my uncle, my only aunt with her children, and three of my cousins. With every loss, I become more weak. I’m still shocked of everything that is happening around me, but I have no time to cry. My only superhero during this hard time was my dad, because he is always teaching me and my sisters how to stay strong and resist despite everything.
One day when the Israeli army moved close to my neighborhood, El-Yarmouk, we had to evacuate. After evacuating, my father returned to the house to take some flour that we had, and he didn’t return to the place where we had moved to, for two days! We were really worried about him, and after two days, one of my cousins called us and told us that my father was seriously injured after a drone hit him in front of our house and he was in the hospital.
My father was left on the ground for four hours because by that time my neighbourhood was empty of people and there was no ambulance to save him. The wound expanded, getting worst to the point that it cut his stomach. He stayed in the hospital for two weeks only receiving first aid because there was not enough equipment in the hospital nor specialist doctors to carry out the surgery. So we decided to take him out of the hospital because there was no advantage of staying there and he was in danger of being infected with disease. My father is still suffering pain most of the time, he cannot use the bath, cannot move well, cannot eat well, cannot work. My father still needs an urgent surgery in his stomach. And as he is the sole breadwinner of the house, we are now in a very bad financial situation and in much need of support to buy food, medicine, and necessities. My goal is to fundraise five thousand pounds, which will be helpful to manage our situation for at least a month during this hard time. I ask you to donate towards my campaign because my family and I haven't received any aid from any humanitarian organisation or health agency and we are in real need of support.
Thank you.
