*SupportBasilAndFamily

Hello everyone 
I hope this message finds you in peace. My name is Basil, and I reach out to you today with a heavy heart but a hopeful soul. First, I want to wish you all a Ramadan Kareem. May these blessed days bring goodness and light to your lives.
I am writing because I am currently facing an overwhelming mountain of responsibilities. My heart is split between my family remaining in Gaza, my family here with me in Egypt, and my final year of school. This is my graduating year, and if I succeed, I will finally fulfill my dream of entering university—a dream that feels like a glimmer of hope amidst so much darkness.
I am eternally grateful for the support I’ve received before, especially from my dear Aunt Nishani, who has been my rock during my hardest moments. However, I am now in a severe financial crisis.
My family in Gaza is suffering. They are living in a tent that has been dismantled and moved so many times it is literally falling apart. The winter rains have soaked their bedding, making it unusable. They desperately need $400 to purchase life-saving essentials: a gas stove to replace dangerous open fires, cooking utensils, and dry mattresses to sleep on.
At the same time, here in Egypt, we are struggling to cover our basic house rent, household needs, and my educational fees. It is a heavy burden for one young man to carry alone.
I believe that "Hand in hand, we can achieve the impossible." Even a small contribution of $5—the price of a coffee—could be the reason my family sleeps on a dry bed tonight or the reason I stay in school to finish my degree.
If you cannot donate, I humbly ask you to share my story. Your voice might reach someone who can help.
Thank you for reading, for your empathy, and for your kindness. You are not just helping with money; you are keeping my dreams and my family's hope alive.
With love and gratitude,
Basil 🫶

🚨 Urgent: We need your help.

Rent is due tomorrow, and Basil and his family are short. Basil’s school payment is due in two weeks, and we are also struggling to put food on the table. On top of that, we are trying to send support to his brother and father in Gaza during this incredibly difficult time.

We cannot do this alone. If you can donate even a small amount, it would mean so much to their family. Every bit helps them stay housed, keep Basil in school, and provides food.

Please consider donating and sharing this post. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Basil and his family are in urgent need of support. After being forced to leave Gaza, they are currently living in Egypt and are unable to work. As a result, they are struggling to afford consistent meals, transportation to school, school tuition, and rent.

I have been able to cover Basil’s school tuition for February and transportation for this month, but I am now seeking help with rent, which is due on February 15th. Providing regular meals for the family has also become increasingly difficult.

Any donation—no matter how small—would make a meaningful difference and is deeply appreciated. We are also hoping to send support to Basil’s brother and father who remain in Gaza, where harsh cold winds, food shortages, and the high cost of medicine have made daily life extremely difficult.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this incredibly challenging time.

We write these words feeling embarrassed before we even feel in need.
It’s not easy to ask, and it’s not easy to talk about hardship,
but sometimes circumstances break us and force us to reach out.

We are people who want to live with dignity.
I am a school student trying to continue my education despite all the difficulties,
but life has become heavier than we can carry.
Rent, food, and daily expenses
have all piled up, and it has become hard to cover them on our own.

Please forgive us if we inconvenience you,
and forgive us for opening our pain in front of you,
but after allah, we have no one but kind-hearted people.

We are not asking for much.
Any help — even something small — truly makes a difference for us,
and any sincere prayer we consider a source of strength and support.

And please don’t forget Gaza,
because its pain is still there, even if the world is tired of hearing about it.
