Lifetime Fund for Disabled Subhashini (49 Years)
My sister, Subhashini, is 48 years old and has been severely disabled since birth. She has never been able to walk independently. Throughout her life, she could only take a few assisted steps, but now her condition has worsened to the point where she can barely move even with support. She is completely dependent on others for all daily activities, including bathing, dressing, washing, sitting, and moving from one place to another. As she is a woman, we must employ a female caregiver to assist with her personal needs. Unfortunately, due to the increasing cost of living, it has become extremely difficult to continue paying a caregiver's salary. Caregivers often leave for better-paying jobs, leaving our family in a desperate situation. Since childhood, my parents consulted numerous doctors hoping for treatment, but they were informed that her neurological condition could not be cured. She has an underdeveloped brain and lifelong neurological disabilities. My father, who cared for her for many years, passed away three years ago. My mother is now 75 years old and suffers from severe sciatica, largely caused by decades of lifting and caring for my sister. Despite her own health problems, she continues to help as much as she can. I am now the sole financial provider for our family. I support my wife and three children while also caring for my elderly mother, my disabled sister, and the caregiver. Every household expense, including food, medicines, and daily necessities, depends entirely on my income. Because of my caregiving responsibilities, I cannot work additional hours or night shifts to increase my earnings. My greatest concern is ensuring that my sister and mother continue to receive proper care throughout their lives. Therefore, I hope to establish a lifetime fund that will help cover: Monthly caregiver salary. Medical consultations, medicines, and regular health checkups. Weekly physiotherapy sessions to improve mobility and comfort. Mobility aids and assistive equipment, such as an advanced walking aid or, if funding permits, a robotic lower-limb exoskeleton. Occasional outings and recreational activities to improve my sister's mental well-being and quality of life. Essential support for my elderly mother's medical needs. This fund would provide long-term security and dignity for my sister, ensuring that she continues to receive proper care even as our family's circumstances become more challenging. I sincerely request your support in helping us create this lifetime fund. I am willing to provide medical records, photographs, videos, or any other proof required to verify our situation. Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Sharing it has given me hope, as I rarely have the opportunity to explain our family's struggles. Your kindness and support would make a lasting difference in my sister's life.

Family Needs Help
100 metres. That is the maximum distance I can walk before my body stops obeying me. Every step can become a frightening struggle: sudden dizziness, tremors in my hands and legs, and the feeling that the ground is disappearing beneath my feet. I was once an athlete and a swimmer. Today, even leaving my home is a major challenge. Progressive cerebellar ataxia is slowly taking away my mobility and independence. At the same time, I live with Type 1 diabetes, which requires constant monitoring and treatment. But this struggle is not mine alone. My wife, my 15-year-old son, and I all live with disabilities and Type 1 diabetes. Our small family depends on insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring systems to keep our blood sugar at safe levels. Sensors, infusion sets, catheters, and insulin reservoirs are not optional medical accessories for us. They are essential, life-sustaining supplies. We are currently living in Bucharest, Romania, after being forced to leave our home because of the war in Ukraine. We also carry the pain of being separated from my nearly 80-year-old mother. She is seriously ill, unable to travel, and remains alone across the border. Our days are organised around medical care. Because of my ataxia and tremors, even simple tasks are difficult. Yet we must constantly monitor glucose levels, replace pump supplies, and make sure that all three of us have what we need to avoid dangerous complications. Although insulin is provided free of charge in Romania, essential diabetes supplies are not covered for refugees. Our family needs approximately €1,000 every month for insulin-pump consumables and glucose-monitoring supplies. I can no longer work, and this amount is far beyond what we can afford on our own. We are not asking for luxury. We are asking for the medical supplies that allow us to stay safe, avoid life-threatening emergencies, and live with dignity despite disability and chronic illness. Every donation, no matter how small, helps provide essential treatment for me, my wife, and our son. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing our campaign with others. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for seeing our family, supporting our fight, and helping us continue to live.

Keeping My Three Children in School After Sudden P

Education

Keeping My Three Children in School After Sudden P
Dear Friends, Supporters, and Global Community, ​For years, I have dedicated my professional life to supporting international humanitarian and development operations on the ground here in Yemen. As a professional driver and operator, my job was always more than just a career—it was my way of contributing to vital regional efforts while proudly providing a stable, dignified life for my family. ​Above all else, my greatest pride and responsibility is being a father to my three wonderful children (my 16-year-old daughter, my 15-year-old son, and my 7-year-old son). Like any parent living through a regional crisis, my absolute priority has always been ensuring they receive a quality education, shielding them from the instability around us, and giving them the tools to build a bright future. ​Recently, our lives were turned upside down. Due to sudden, major structural reorganizations within the region, my long-term post with UNICEF was officially abolished. Overnight, our family lost its sole source of income in an environment where securing immediate, matching professional roles is incredibly difficult. ​Because of this sudden transition, we are now facing an immediate financial domino effect that threatens our housing stability and, most painfully, my children’s education: 1. ​Clearing Past Educational Debt ($3,100): To keep my children enrolled last academic year, I took out a personal loan through the United Nations Federal Credit Union (UNFCU). With my sudden job loss, I am left with a remaining balance of $3,100 in monthly installments that I can no longer pay, creating an urgent burden on our household. 2. ​Securing the Upcoming School Year ($6,000 - $7,000): The new academic year is fast approaching. The cost of tuition, registration, and school fees to enroll all three of my children comes out to approximately $6,000 to $7,000. Without these funds, their education will be abruptly interrupted. ​To give you complete confidence in where your generosity is going, I have provided the platform’s compliance team with full documentation—including my official UNICEF termination/abolishment notice, my remaining UNFCU loan statement balance, and the school’s tuition fee structures. ​I am hitting two birds with one stone with this campaign: clearing the debt of the past year and securing the bridge to my children's immediate future. Every single dollar raised will go directly toward settling the UNFCU loan and paying the school administration directly to keep my kids in the classroom. ​While I actively look for my next driving and professional role to get my family back on its feet, I am humbly asking for your hands in solidarity. No donation is too small, and simply sharing my story with your network means the world to us. ​Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with my family, protecting my children's education, and helping us navigate this unexpected crossroad. ​With deep gratitude, Zaki Almohammadi.

Help me rebuild my home in the South

Solidarity with Lebanon

Help me rebuild my home in the South
‎For the Teacher Who Taught Us Everything: Rebuild Her Home in the South ‎ ‎We ( Georges Haddad and Siham Antoun ) are launching this fundraiser on behalf of someone who has spent her entire life giving not just to her students, but to her country. She is a teacher from the south of Lebanon, a true pillar of her community. ‎"This teacher from south Lebanon is self-made, shaped by occupation, war, and relentless resilience. She volunteered with the disabled, mentored youth as a scout activist, and was a pioneer who helped build Lebanon's INDEPENDENT TRADE UNION MOVEMENT. ‎When we traveled south after the November 2024 ceasefire to distribute heating fuel to struggling families, she didn't just open her warm and simple home to us, she joined us. But war returned in March 2026, and part of her beautiful home was destroyed. She had already spent 13 years exiled from it under occupation. Now, she retires on barely $350 a month, a pension crushed by Lebanon's economic collapse. She still moves between rentals, carrying the weight of others she supports. She never asks for help." ‎This is the woman we are raising money for. A warrior, a teacher, a volunteer, a revolutionary. But after a lifetime of giving, we are asking for her. Please help us rebuild her home. She deserves to retire with dignity. Here are some photos during her various actions as a scout, as a teacher, a farmer and a union activist. ‎ ‎Pour l'enseignante qui nous a tout appris : reconstruisons sa maison dans le Sud. ‎ ‎Nous ( Georges Haddad et Siham Antoun ) lançons cette collecte de fonds au nom d’une femme qui a consacré toute sa vie à donner, non seulement à ses élèves, mais aussi à son pays. Elle est enseignante, originaire du Sud-Liban, et un véritable pilier de sa communauté. ‎« Cette enseignante du Sud-Liban s’est faite elle-même, façonnée par l’occupation, la guerre et une résilience inébranlable. Elle s’est portée bénévole auprès des personnes handicapées, a encadré des jeunes en tant que militante scoute, et a été une pionnière qui a contribué à bâtir le MOUVEMENT SYNDICAL INDÉPENDANT du Liban. ‎Lorsque nous sommes allés dans le Sud après le cessez-le-feu de novembre 2024 pour distribuer du combustible de chauffage aux familles dans le besoin, elle ne s’est pas contentée de nous ouvrir sa maison, chaleureuse et modeste, elle s’est jointe à nous. Mais la guerre est revenue en mars 2026, et une partie de sa belle maison a été détruite. Elle avait déjà passé 13 ans exilée de chez elle sous l’occupation. Aujourd’hui, elle prend sa retraite avec à peine 350 dollars par mois, une pension laminée par l’effondrement économique du Liban. Elle continue de vivre dans des logements loués, portant le poids des autres qu’elle soutient. Elle ne demande jamais d’aide. » ‎Voilà la femme pour qui nous collectons des fonds. Une guerrière, une enseignante, une bénévole, une révolutionnaire. Mais après toute une vie à donner, c’est pour elle que nous demandons. Aidez-nous, s’il vous plaît, à reconstruire sa maison. Elle mérite de prendre sa retraite dans la dignité. ‎Veuillez trouver ci-joint quelques photos durant ses diverses actions en tant que scoute, enseignante, agricultrice et militante syndicale. ‎ ‎ ‎لمن علَّمتنا كل شيء: أعيدوا بناء منزلها في الجنوب. ‎ ‎نحن، جورج حداد وسهام أنطون، نطلق حملة التبرّع هذه نيابة عن امرأة قضت حياتها كلّها في العطاء – ليس فقط لتلاميذها، بل لوطنها أيضًا. إنّها معلّمة من جنوب لبنان، وهي بالفعل عمود من أعمدة مجتمعها. ‎" صنعت هذه المعلمة من جنوب لبنان نفسها بنفسها – شكّلتها الاحتلالات والحروب وصمود لا يلين. تطوّعت مع ذوي الإعاقة، واكبت الشباب كناشطة كشفيّة، وكانت رائدة ساهمت في بناء الحَرَكَةِ النِّقَابِيَّةِ الْمُسْتَقِلَّةِ في لبنان. ‎عندما قصدنا جنوب لبنان بعد وقف إطلاق النار في تشرين الثاني 2024 لتوزيع وقود التدفئة على العائلات المحتاجة، لم تفتح لنا باب منزلها الدافئ البسيط فحسب – بل انضمّت إلينا. ‎لكنّ الحرب عادت في آذار 2026، ودمّرت جزءاً من منزلها البسيط، الجميل. الذي حُرمت منه خلال 13 عامًا عندما وقعت مدينتها تحت الاحتلال الإسرائيلي. والآن، تتقاعد براتب لا يتجاوز 350 دولارًا شهريًا – راتبٌ سحقه الانهيار الاقتصادي في لبنان. ‎رغم تراجع حدّة الحرب ما زالت تتنقّل بين المساكن المستأجرة، حاملةً مسؤوليّة الأشخاص الذين تدعمهم. وهي لا تطلب المساعدة أبدًا." ‎ ‎هذه هي المرأة التي نجمع المال من أجلها. محاربة، معلّمة، متطوّعة، ثوريّة. لكن بعد عمرٍ كامل من العطاء، نحن نطلب من أجلها. من فضلكم، ساعدونا في إعادة بناء منزلها. إنّها تستحقّ أن تتقاعد بكرامة. ‎مرفق، بعض الصور أثناء أنشطتها المختلفة في الكشافة، وكمعلمة، ومزارعة، وناشطة نقابية.

A Life Kit for Youth Transitioning to Independence
For over 24 years, Chinese Childrenhome & Shelter Association(CCSA) has supported youth transitioning out of care across Taiwan. Aged 15 to 23, many were forced to leave their families due to abuse, neglect, or loss of support—and must face adulthood alone, far too soon. Through our Independent Living Program, we support their journey in education, employment, housing, and healthcare—helping them build a stable life. Your support can change that. It can turn uncertainty into stability, and give a young person the chance to truly begin. ------ The day they leave residential care is not a homecoming. It is a step into an empty room—with no furniture, no supplies, and no one to rely on. Many of these young people are trying their best. They work hard, save what they can, and strive to build a stable life. But the reality is—before they even receive their first paycheck, they must already face: 1.House Rent 2.Daily necessities 3.Basic living expenses This gap makes their first steps toward independence more fragile, leaving them vulnerable to financial stress, instability, and even falling back into hardship. ★A Box of Essentials, A Stronger First Step Each year, around 500 young people supported by CCSA take their first step toward independent living after June. So We have launched the “Life Essentials Kit Campaign for Youth Transitioning to Independence”. Each kit includes: 1.Basic appliances (Portable cooker, electric fan) 2.Essential bedding (Pillow, blanket) 3.Personal hygiene items (Shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent) 4.Basic food supplies (Ready-to-eat meals, canned food) Your support does more than provide material aid. It gives a young person—who is doing everything they can—the chance to truly begin their life.

Save My Wife: Urgent High-Risk IVF & Hysterectomy

Save My Wife: Urgent High-Risk IVF & Hysterectomy
Title: A 22-Year Medical Battle: Help My Brave Wife Survive a High-Risk Pregnancy and Hysterectomy Dear Friends, Donors, and Well-Wishers, My name is Sasanka , and I am reaching out to you today with a heart full of hope but limited options. I am writing to ask for your support to help my beautiful, incredibly brave 34-year-old wife, Priyanwada , realize her lifelong dream of becoming a mother, while keeping her alive. Her life has been an unimaginable journey of medical pain, but she has never given up. Now, we are just one final step away from our miracle, but a massive financial wall stands in our way. A Childhood Trapped in Medical Pain At just 12 years old, living in a remote village in Monaragala, Sri Lanka, my wife suffered from severe abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with a rare congenital vaginal obstruction that caused menstrual blood to accumulate inside her uterus. At a time when medical technology in our country was limited, she underwent multiple failed surgeries. Finally, a renowned specialist performed a complex vaginoplasty, reconstructing her vaginal tract using a piece of her own bowel. While this saved her life, it left her with chronic, painful complications. Because of the bowel tissue, she suffers from frequent, severe infections. Even using a public restroom can trigger a crisis. When blocked, she endures excruciating pain for weeks. Our Marriage and a New Battle We married when she was 29. I loved her deeply and knew all her medical history, but my only wish was to build a beautiful family with her. However, tragedy struck again. Shortly after our marriage, she developed a severe pelvic abscess that required an emergency open surgery. This surgery revealed that all her internal organs had adhered to each other (severe pelvic adhesions) due to past operations. Later, another abscess developed, requiring a painful biopsy and drainage. Our Final Hope: High-Risk IVF at Ninewells Hospital We sought fertility treatment at Ninewells Hospital, Colombo. However, our challenges intensified during the egg collection phase, when my wife suffered a life-threatening infection due to her complex internal anatomy. Her CRP levels skyrocketed, and she spent 10 days in the hospital on heavy intravenous antibiotics just to survive. Despite all the odds, we have fought hard. We have successfully created and frozen two embryos. The Dangerous Final Step: Pregnancy and Immediate Hysterectomy Because her uterus is severely damaged and highly prone to life-threatening infections, carrying this pregnancy to term is an extreme risk. After extensive medical evaluations, the specialists have decided on a critical medical plan: We will transfer the embryo into her uterus, but at the exact moment our baby is delivered via Cesarean section, surgeons must immediately perform a total hysterectomy (remove her uterus) to save her life from catastrophic infection and complications. Why We Need You The cost of this highly specialized IVF transfer, continuous high-risk prenatal care, the complex joint delivery, and the immediate life-saving hysterectomy surgery totals 5 Million LKR (Approximately $17,000 USD). Living in Sri Lanka under difficult economic conditions, this amount is an impossible mountain for us to climb alone. We have exhausted all our life savings on her previous open surgeries and the initial IVF stages. Your donation, no matter how small, will directly fund the hospital bills and surgical costs to bring our baby into the world and keep my wife alive. If you cannot donate, please share our story. You are giving a woman who has known only pain since childhood the ultimate joy of holding her baby safely. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
