PERSPECTIVE

“In a world where some can close their eyes to suffering, others are forced to endure it without respite. Let’s remember our privilege to switch off, and consider the lives that can’t.”

Because of the severe cold and we did not have blankets, I was hit by a cold wind and my neck and back became stiff. I am afraid for my children from the cold. I need to buy blankets for them.

I trust you all, my friends, and I know that you will do what you can to save my children. Everything here is indescribable. The extreme cold and the continuous bombing, and we have nothing for these poor children.
Your donation, no matter how small, will help my children a lot.

We've now entered the second year of war - two years of nonstop suffering. We've lost our safety, our homes, and our dreams.

Two years of pain is enough to break any soul, yet somehow, we're still holding on to life.

Displacement is not just moving from one place to another — it’s having your soul uprooted. We leave behind homes full of memories and live heavy days without safety or a homeland. Today, my family and I are enduring harsh conditions and urgently need help to keep going💔

A picture of Elias in the tent, sitting cross-legged. He wears glasses. He is smiling while holding a paper ship in his left hand. His right hand is making the V sign.

A picture of Ouzi rice made by Haneen's family. This is white rice with kernel corn and peanuts on a plate.

A picture of paper ships laying on the floor of the tent. The light is pretty and falls on the paper boats while the rest of the picture is in the dark. Chiaroscuro style. There is a bigger paper ship surrounding by smaller ones.

to support everyone while they are completely fragile and broken, and to encourage them to hope while they are drowning in their sadness and misery... to continue their life despite their fatigue and tragedy... So whenever they wanted to admit their fatigue or thought for a moment about collapsing..
