Help Kazem survive from the genocide in Gaza
My name is Kazem Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush, and I’m a 12-year-old boy from Gaza City, Palestine. I am fundraising for my immediate and extended family, who have lost everything in the ongoing war. We used to live a quiet and hopeful life. I was studying at the British International School in Gaza, and I dreamed of continuing my education in the UK. But on October 7, 2023, everything changed. The war destroyed our home, our school, our shops—and our future. Who We Are I live with my father, Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush, my mother, and my two younger siblings. My sister, who is still a baby, was severely burned in an airstrike. After three surgeries and 20 days in intensive care, she still needs urgent care abroad, but the siege prevents us from leaving. She is in pain every day. My father was once supported by his late father, Kazem Dughmush, a respected businessman. Together, they managed family businesses that supported 19 families—all of whom are now displaced and suffering. We come from a large extended family: 16 brothers and their families, and our grandmother. All of us are now without homes, jobs, food, or medicine. Why We Are Fundraising We are raising funds to: • Treat my baby sister's burns and help evacuate her to a country where she can get full medical care • Buy food, water, medicine, and clothing for our family and extended relatives • Support 16 families (mostly children and women) who lost everything due to bombings • Rebuild a minimal, dignified life away from the ruins and ashes How the Funds Will Be Used All funds will go directly to Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush, my father and our family’s caretaker, who is currently in northern Gaza. He will distribute the funds to: • Pay for medical treatment and applications for medical evacuation • Purchase emergency food and clean water from the limited local sources • Provide clothing and hygiene items for the children in the family • Rent or shelter space if available, outside the severely affected northern areas We will maintain receipts, records, and updates to ensure full transparency for every dollar spent. If we are able to travel, we will also use part of the funds to relocate safely and seek treatment for my sister. Our Current Reality We have lost more than 200 relatives, including my 7-month-old cousin, who died from white phosphorous burns. We sleep in tents or destroyed buildings, eating animal feed just to stay alive. There is no school, no future, and no safety here. Please, if you can help us, we will never forget it. Final Note We are not raising funds for any political or armed effort—only for humanitarian survival. Your donation will save lives, bring medical hope to my sister, and help children like me dream again. If you cannot donate, please share this story. Help the world hear our voice. With gratitude, Kazem Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush 12 years old – Gaza City, Palestine Raising funds for the Dughmush family and 16 extended families.

💔 From Panic to Collapse — Trying to Survive
🚨 URGENT UPDATE — PLEASE READ AND SHARE 🚨 Jean’s condition is rapidly getting worse. He is now experiencing daily seizures, severe panic attacks, and frequent loss of consciousness making him passing out at any time. At this moment, there is no money left for medication, treatment, or even basic living needs. Despite sharing this campaign everywhere and reaching out to many people, no help has arrived yet. Jean has been unemployed because he can collapse or pass out at any moment, making it impossible to work. His mother is also ill, and the family is struggling to pay rent, bills, food, and medical needs. We are living day by day with almost nothing, hoping someone will see this and care. Jean is the backbone of his family, and losing him would devastate everyone who loves him. We are begging anyone with a compassionate heart: please help us save Jean. Even the smallest donation or share could make the difference between hope and tragedy. 🙏 Please read his story below and help if you can. 💔 URGENT FUNDRAISING APPEAL — PLEASE HELP SAVE JEAN 💔 "وأمّا من كان له معيشة العالم، ونظر أخاه محتاجاً، وأغلق أحشاءه عنه، فكيف تثبت محبّة اللّه فيه؟". لكل حدا عم يقرأ، أنا بترجّاك تساعدني، المساعدة لو قد ما كانت قليلة رح تكون من خلالها عم تعطي حياة جديدة ليلّي محتاجها، ورح إذكرك بصلاتي تهالنعمة يلّي رح تساعدني فيها تتضاعف إلك. بتشكّركن من كل قلبي❤️ "If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?" — 1 John 3:17 To everyone reading this, My name is Jean, I am 33 years old, and writing these words is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. For years, I have been suffering in silence, trying to hide my pain and pretend that I was strong enough to handle everything alone. But today I can no longer carry this burden by myself. I am asking for help with all humility and hope that someone will hear my cry. ***My Story: Since childhood, my life has been marked by severe traumas. Since the age of three years old, I experienced abuse that deeply scarred my life. At the age of eight years old and over the years I endured sexual assault, harassment, and physical violence, experiences that left wounds in my mind and soul that never truly healed. For many years I tried to survive quietly, but fighting quietly with no support whatsoever caused me to attempt suicide more than 20 times over the years, believing that if I stayed silent and kept going, things would eventually get better. Instead, my condition slowly became worse. ***My Illness: Today I live with severe mental health conditions that have taken control of my life. I have been diagnosed with: • Severe PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) • Severe Panic Disorder • Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) • Severe Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors • All of this deteriorating me, even my physical health, as a month ago I had a heart attack. These illnesses are not just diagnoses on paper. They mean that: • I experience terrifying flashbacks and memories • I suffer sudden panic attacks that leave me shaking and unable to breathe • I sometimes collapse or lose consciousness • I feel constant fear, guilt, and shame • I suffer from insomnia, exhaustion, and digestive problems • I struggle every day with the feeling that I may not survive another hour Since January 2025, my panic attacks have become daily and unpredictable. Sometimes my heart races uncontrollably, my body shakes violently, and I completely lose the ability to speak or move. Many times, I hide in the bathroom during these episodes so my mother and brother do not see me suffering, because I didn’t want to make them worry. But now the situation has become impossible to hide. ***What Happened: Before everything collapsed, I worked as an insurance agent, collecting payments from clients and forwarding them to two companies: • Solidarity Mutual Fund • Securite Assurance During two severe panic episodes, I was robbed while disoriented and unconscious. December 7, 2024 While waiting for a client in Baabda, I suffered a panic attack and was robbed during the episode. May 1, 2025 After medical tests at St. Michel Medical Center in Dbayeh, I avoided the elevator due to anxiety and took the stairs. Halfway down, I experienced a violent panic attack and lost consciousness. When I regained awareness and reached the street, I discovered that two envelopes containing insurance payments had disappeared. I completely broke down in public. I went home in tears, ashamed and terrified. I informed both companies immediately, and I had a case open at the ISF – Antelias division, however nothing came out of this and both companies proceeded with legal actions. ***Doctors, Medications: and treatment: Since I also have several health problems, and taking related medicines, I also started psychiatric medication as of August 4th 2025. 1-Medications: *Euthyrox 100mg: 1 tablet daily 1 hour before breakfast *Vitamin D 10,000: 2 times per week (1 on Monday, 1 on thursday) *Zyloric 300mg: 1 tablet daily *Venlax 150 mg + Venlax 75 mg: 1 tablet Daily each *Remeron 30mg: 1 tablet daily before sleeping *Quetiapine 300 mg: 1/2 tablet Daily before sleeping *Alprox 0.5 mg: half tablet in the morning, half at night *Folic Acid 5 mg: 1 tablet daily after food All of these medications should be replaced with higher dosage. .2-Doctors: -Dr. Mario Chahrouri (Family Medicine): 03961650 -Dr. Anthony Kassab (Psychiatrist): 70691241 -Dr. Tony Sawma (Clinical Psychologist): 03487061 3-Treatment Plan: -To find legal assistant to navigate what is better to be done due to the complications of my situation. -Admission to Der El Salib for 10 days, to be monitored by a psychiatrist (Dr. Marc Mourad) since suicidal attempts and behaviors are severe, in this admission I will be protected and regularly monitored as I will take the medications with therapy sessions. -Continue my therapy sessions with Dr. Tony Sawma (Clinical Psychologist) which will be over at least a year 1 time / week. -Continue also with Dr. Anthony Kassab (Psychiatrist) who is working with me on medications to keep me stable and decrease the severity of my case. -Continue with our Family Doctor Dr. Mario Chahrouri since I also have other medical issues and my recent case led me to have a heart attack last month. ***My Situation Today: Since September 2025, our life has collapsed financially and medically. We can no longer afford medications, doctors’ consultations and visits, therapy sessions or even basing living expenses. Because of the stolen payments, the insurance companies demanded reimbursement, as I’m unable to work in this sector anymore. And since companies has taken legal actions, my policies have been cancelled and I am currently unable to work in insurance until the debts are repaid. Without treatment, my mental health continues to deteriorate. To date, I have survived more than 20 suicide attempts. I am trying to stay alive, but I cannot fight this battle alone anymore, I’m just very tired. Medical reports, documents, and receipts… can be shared with anyone who wants to verify my situation. ***How You Can Help: Any amount, even the smallest contribution, could help save my life. If you cannot donate, please share this campaign so it can reach someone who may be able to help. 1-Whish Money to my personal number: 70169933 2-MoneyGram to Jean Toni Hatoum (Reference number required for withdrawal) 3-Western Union / OMT / International Transfers to Jean Toni Hatoum (ID can be provided) 4-Bank Transfer Account Holder: JEAN TONI HATOUM IBAN: LB97005699840103500789790002 SWIFT: AUDBLBBX Currency: USD Fresh Address: Beirut-Jounieh Coastal Highway Bank Audi Building Naccash – Dbayeh, Lebanon ***Final Words: I am not writing this because I want pity. I am writing because I want to live. Right now, I am not stable, not safe, and not okay — but I am still trying to hold on. If you have ever known what it feels like to be lost in darkness, please help me find a small light. Your kindness could save a life. From the bottom of my heart, with love, prayers and gratitude, Jean Hatoum

Education for 200 Underprivileged Girls
Empowering Futures: Education for 200 Underprivileged Girls in Kismayo Project Description At Wamo Educational Development Organization (WEDO), we believe that education is a powerful tool for change. In Kismayo district, many young girls face significant barriers to receiving an education due to poverty, cultural norms, and lack of resources. This is why we are launching our "Education for 200 Underprivileged Girl Children" project. Our goal is to raise $50,000, which will directly support the educational needs of 200 girls in our community. Objectives: - Enroll 200 girls from low-income families in local schools. - Provide school materials (books, uniforms, stationery). - Offer scholarships to cover tuition fees. - Organize after-school tutoring and mentorship programs. - Raise awareness about the importance of girls’ education in the community. Why We’re Raising Money In Kismayo, many families struggle to afford basic necessities, leaving little room in their budgets for education-related expenses such as school fees, uniforms, and supplies. As a result, countless talented and ambitious girls miss out on the chance to learn and grow. We have witnessed firsthand how education can uplift an entire community, breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering girls to become leaders in their families and society. Your contributions will help us remove these barriers by providing scholarships for school enrollment, covering essential supplies like books and uniforms, and funding after-school tutoring programs. With your support, we can ensure that these young girls have access to quality education and the opportunity to realize their dreams. What the Funds Will Be Used For 1. Tuition Fees: Covering enrollment costs for 200 girls in local schools. 2. School Supplies: Providing each girl with necessary supplies, including books, stationery, and uniforms. 3. Tutoring Programs: Establishing after-school programs staffed by qualified tutors to assist with homework and reinforce learning. 4. Community Workshops: Organizing workshops for parents to raise awareness about the importance of girls’ education and to encourage family support for their daughters’ schooling. How Much We Value Your Support Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant impact in the lives of these girls. By supporting our initiative, you become a part of a transformative journey—empowering girls with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to create a brighter future for themselves and their communities. With your help, we can not only change individual lives but also inspire generations to come. Together, let’s invest in the potential of these incredible young women and help them achieve their dreams. Thank you for considering joining us in this vital effort!

Urgent Cancer Treatment Support
💙 Help Gretta Fight for Her Life – Urgent Cancer Treatment Needed 💙 My name is Gretta. I never imagined I would have to write these words, but I am now in the fight of my life. I have been diagnosed with aggressive, metastatic cancer that has spread to my liver. The only hope to stop it is to begin intensive chemotherapy, targeted liver ablation, advanced systemic therapy and possibly surgery. These treatments must start together and without delay to give me a chance to stop the cancer from advancing. The truth is painful. Time is running out. If treatment does not begin soon, I may lose the chance for procedures that could save my life. But if I act quickly, while I still qualify, there is real hope for healing. I am raising funds to cover: ✨ Intensive chemotherapy to fight the cancer throughout my body ✨ Targeted liver ablation and advanced systemic therapy ✨ Critical diagnostic studies to plan the safest path forward ✨ Care to manage the severe pain caused by the liver metastases Every contribution, no matter the size, is a light in my darkest hour. It means more than treatment. It means a chance to live, to continue fighting and to keep holding on to faith. Even through the fear and the pain, I believe in the mercy of God, in the power of love, and in the strength we find when we stand together. If you are able to help, you are not only giving me treatment. You are giving me the most precious gift: the chance to live. From the deepest part of my heart, thank you. With love, faith and hope, Gretta 🤍 Healing flows by the mercy of our Almighty God. Amen.

Empower Human Trafficking Survivors in Nepal

Empower Human Trafficking Survivors in Nepal
Every year, thousands of women and young girls in Nepal are stolen from their families, lured by false promises of a better life, only to find themselves trapped in a nightmare of exploitation, abuse, and hopelessness. These women face unbelievable horrors—forced into labor, sexually exploited, and stripped of their dignity. They have no voice, no freedom, no way out. But there is hope. SASANE (Saving and Empowering Survivors of Nepali Women) is a beacon of light in the darkness, offering a lifeline to survivors who have endured the unimaginable. Through safe housing, education, job training, and a network of support, SASANE helps these women reclaim their lives and start over. SASANE isn’t just an organization—it's a movement led by survivors, for survivors. But we can't do this alone. We need your help. Together, we can provide these women with the chance they deserve—a chance to heal, rebuild, and thrive. This is more than a fundraising campaign; it's an invitation to change lives, to restore dignity, and to give women in Nepal a future free from the chains of trafficking. The Crisis: Human Trafficking Epidemic: Every year, over 15,000 women and girls in Nepal are trafficked—deceived by promises of jobs, education, and a better life, only to be sold into slavery. They endure sexual violence, physical abuse, and forced labor, trapped in a cycle of terror and isolation. No Place to Turn: Once freed, survivors are often left with nothing—no home, no support, and no way to rebuild their lives. They are vulnerable, stigmatized, and without hope. In a society where resources are scarce, many feel as though there is no way out. Gaps in Support: Lack of awareness and understanding of human trafficking in local communities and law enforcement makes it even harder for survivors to find justice or the support they need to heal. Without intervention, many women are re-trafficked, or heartbreakingly, left to suffer in silence. The Sasane Solution: Safe Housing and Healing: At SASANE, we offer survivors a safe place to live and recover—two dedicated housing facilities where women find not just shelter, but love, care, and community. Here, they are empowered to heal emotionally and physically, surrounded by others who understand their pain. Paralegal Training: SASANE provides survivors with the tools they need to rebuild their lives. Through paralegal training, survivors gain the skills to advocate for themselves and others, helping them seek justice and defend their rights. Education also opens doors to future employment opportunities and independence. Sisterhood Trekking and Travel Co: SASANE Sisterhood Trekking and Travel Company trains survivors in tourism, cooking, and hospitality, providing women with the skills needed for long-term success. SASANE also teaches English and basic computer skills. Since 2016, SASANE has already trained over 70 women in hospitality roles and over 30 women as trekking and tour guides. Community Outreach and Awareness: Through relentless outreach, SASANE works to educate communities and law enforcement about human trafficking. We reduce stigma, raise awareness, and provide local leaders with the tools to identify and support trafficking survivors, creating safer communities for everyone. The Impact of Your Support: Saving Lives: Your donation ensures that women and girls who have suffered through the darkest of times can find hope again. Your support provides them with safe housing, life-changing education, and the emotional care they need to heal. Empowering Women: With your help, survivors can regain their sense of self-worth, learn to defend their rights, and gain the skills they need to live independently and with dignity. Creating a Ripple Effect: Your generosity will have a lasting impact. Together, we can help SASANE reach more survivors, spread awareness, and reduce the number of women and girls who fall victim to trafficking. Your contribution can help break the cycle of exploitation and create a safer world for generations to come. One Woman’s Journey: Meet Sitasma. Trafficked from rural Nepal, she was sold into sexual exploitation in India. She suffered unspeakable abuse until she managed to escape. When she found SASANE, everything changed. Through SASANE’s programs, Sitasma gained the skills to become a licensed trekking guide. Now, she supports herself and her family with the income she earns, and her story of survival is just one of many. For a more in depth look at Sitasma’s journey, click this link: https://www.tourism-watch.de/en/article/a-new-life/ Take Action and Change a Life: Your support does more than provide financial assistance—it gives survivors of human trafficking the chance to rebuild their lives. With your donation, you’ll fund safe housing, education programs, and vital community outreach that are crucial in breaking the cycle of trafficking and empowering women to reclaim their futures. This is a moment for change. Together, we can offer these women hope, freedom, and the opportunity to start anew. Act now. Join us in creating a brighter future for those who need it most. Your contribution will transform lives.

A Lawyer Who Lost Everything but His Humanity

Emergency

A Lawyer Who Lost Everything but His Humanity
Mahmoud’s Story: A Lawyer Who Lost Everything but His Humanity My name is Mahmoud Afana. I am a Palestinian lawyer from Rafah in the Gaza Strip. For more than ten years, I have dedicated my life to defending rights, empowering the vulnerable, and advocating for justice in courts and communities. I have worked on humanitarian and legal projects with both local and international organizations, and I have been part of efforts to protect marginalized groups such as women, children, and displaced persons. But in the recent war, I lost everything. My home was completely destroyed by airstrikes. My law office—the only source of income I had—was reduced to rubble. All means of work and livelihood came to a halt. I was forced to flee to the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis, where there is no shelter, no electricity, no clean water, and none of the basic necessities of life. I now live without a home, without an income, and without the resources to support myself and my family or start again. Despite it all, I have not stopped contributing in any way I can. I’ve participated in legal support projects for displaced people, conducted free legal awareness workshops, and continued to raise the voices of those who have none amid the destruction. But today, I need someone to stand with me—just as I have stood with others for years. I am asking for your support to help me rebuild my life. Your support today is not just for me, but an investment in someone who has always helped others and wants to continue doing so—despite having lost everything. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference.
