Our home was destroyed, and my children have no shelter from the cold. I’m trying to build a small tent for my family, but I can’t afford the cost.
Please… help us have a safe place to stay. Any support, even small, can save us. 🙏💔

Please help my friend Waseem and his family
I’m doing everything I can to build a shelter to protect my children from the cold and wind, but the needs are bigger than I can handle—food, Nabil’s school fees, winter clothes. Support has dropped, and BlueSky’s policies even deleted my account. Any help means safety for us.
