Help Me Give My Children a Home Again

My name is Ali. I am a husband, a father of two young children, and a hardworking man from South Lebanon.

I never imagined that one day I would have to ask strangers for help.

On **April 14, 2026**, our lives changed forever.

The building where we lived in Jouaiya, in the Tyre District of South Lebanon, was completely destroyed during the war. Along with it, we lost the apartment we were renting and most of the furniture and belongings we had spent years working to build.

In a single day, the place we called home disappeared.

Today, my wife, our two little children, and I live in a very small rented apartment with only one bedroom and one living room. My oldest child is only three and a half years old, and my youngest is, just one year and ten months old. At an age when they should feel safe and carefree, they have already experienced the uncertainty of losing their home.

Like every father, I want to protect my children. I want them to grow up in a place where they feel safe, where they can sleep peacefully, play freely, and create happy memories.

Since losing our home, I have done everything I can to rebuild our lives. I work two jobs, often leaving before my children wake up and returning home after they are asleep. I push myself every day because I refuse to give up on my family.

Even with all those hours of work, my income is only enough to cover our basic living expenses. Rent, food, utilities, and daily necessities leave nothing behind to save toward buying another home.

The hardest part isn't the exhaustion.

It's watching my children grow while I'm away trying to earn enough just to keep us going.

Every missed bedtime story, every family dinner I couldn't be there for, every hug I missed because I was working, those are moments I will never get back.

I don't dream of owning a luxury home.

I simply dream of opening the door to a modest place that my children can truly call home a place where they won't have to worry about moving again, where they can grow up with stability, dignity, and hope.

This campaign is my attempt to make that dream possible.

The funds raised will go toward purchasing a modest family home and covering the essential costs of rebuilding our lives after everything we lost.

Every donation will be used solely for housing-related expenses, and we are committed to sharing updates and being fully transparent throughout this journey.

If you are able to support us, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If you are unable to donate, sharing our story with others is a gift that costs nothing but could change our lives.

To everyone who took the time to read our story, thank you for giving my family something we have been holding onto through all of this:

**Hope.**

With heartfelt gratitude,

**Ali, my wife, and our two little children**
