With your help, I’ll be able to:
• Buy a safe tent for my family 🏕️
• Cover transport to physical therapy 🚑
• Access healthy food to recover 🥦

Because of restrictions on GoFundMe, I cannot use the funds to cover urgent needs for my family — like buying a new tent!

We’ve faced many challenges recently, which made us less active here. Our GoFundMe account has been frozen and some recent donations have been held, so we now need your support more than ever. You can donate directly via PayPal 💛🙏

And I think about the future: more displacement? Another loss? More exhaustion? Stronger hunger? Or is there anything here that could be kinder than death?
This is just a drop in the ocean of my thoughts…

Every day,I lie down sweating,with a splitting headache,just thinking about how to get through the day with the least damage,without losing myself or someone from my family.
I think of home,education,friends, places that once brought us together,and everything from the past that will never come back

I carry a huge responsibility on my shoulders. Sometimes I wonder: how can I survive each day in a tent that feels like an oven, in a place lacking the most basic essentials and cleanliness, surrounded by death from every direction?

Tarek & Fares @tarekandfares.bsky.social · Aug 21

The past few days, I’ve been going through a severe depression unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. I wake up with no energy, no motivation to face the day.
I see your messages, but sometimes I can’t respond because exhaustion completely takes over, leaving my mind unable to find the words.

I want to share something personal I’ve been facing recently. I’m not sharing this for pity, but to show a glimpse of my daily life and harsh reality. Your support is what keeps me going ❤️

The situation here has become extremely dangerous. Every day there’s a new evacuation, and the bombing is increasing more and more. Each night is harder than the one before, and death is getting closer to us than ever! If this continues and no one stops them, we will die in front of everyone’s eyes!

This is where we live now—six adults in a 4×4 meter tent. The heat and humidity are unbearable, and winter cold is harsh. The tent is tearing and will leak when it rains. I need a new tent to protect my family. Please help through the link in my bio ❤️🫶

Know that Coffee Day isn't only about Friday, it's about your continuous contribution and support to us in our harsh and tragic journey of suffering here where everything eats us bit by bit with no mercy.
Your support means the world to me and my family as it fuels us to keep going. 🫂❤️‍🩹

We managed to withdraw your donations with 35% commission to buy the food in the above shared pic with about 450$ !!

With prices still very high even if a little lower than before, your support means so much, especially as Fares now needs healthier food to rebuild his bones and for all of us to stay well. You are part of our journey, and your cup of coffee truly made a difference. ☕️❤️

The coffee you shared helped us buy essential food for our family, cover part of the transportation for Fares' physiotherapy sessions, and even a portion of the treatment costs!

Coffee Day wasn't just about coffee... it was about YOU. It had such a big impact on us financially and emotionally, but even more than that... it made us feel like you were right here with us, sharing a beautiful moment even if only through a screen.
