“I tell my students, when you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.”

— Toni Morrison, interview 2003

Hi and thank you for your message. Peace to you and Ahmed. Unfortunately I am unable to donate, due to economic wars in my country. I pray for your victory and for your peace and keep my heart open for you. I hope you will remember God in your triumphs and your trials. With love, Daniel Samir

"I join my palms
and let
a flower bloom
wonderfully in my heart."

Hi Wafaa family,

Peace and thank you for your note. I wish I could do more for your survival. All I can do is share your post and pray everyday for your victory and peace. I send a poem too. Hopeful for you to remember God in your trials and triumphs. With love, Daniel Samir

we arrive at our true home."
