Please help Hani's family
Three months ago, my dear friend Hani was murdered while trying to feed his family.
His sister Faten has cancer, and sleeps in a freezing tent with her hands, feet, and eyes swelling more and more every day.
I love this family with all my heart. I can’t keep watching them die.
