🕊️ Help Me Rebuild My Life, Protect My Family and Support Children in My Community
My name is Ahmed Al-Awadi. After losing my home and source of income I am struggling to provide even the most basic necessities for my family of four as well as my elderly mother who lives with us. Despite everything we have endured, we refuse to give up. Your support can help us survive, rebuild our lives with dignity, and continue serving children in our community.
👉 One of the most imperative requests/pleas for help is safe housing 🏠 for my family . Monthly rent is $400. Our home was completely destroyed. We were then forced into displacement multiple times. My wife suffers from severe neurological and psychological trauma caused by the bombing, and life in tents has become dangerous for her health, our children and my elderly mother. We urgently need to rent a simple apartment that can provide safety and stability.
👉 In addition to rent we to be able to afford basic living expenses. The cost of living has become extremely high, and we need support to provide:
• Food 🍞🍅🥬🍉🍊🍗🥚( Food expenses are $150–$200 per week)
• Clean water 💧 • Daily necessities • Medical Care 🩺💊
** My wife suffered a head injury during the bombing of our home and now experiences severe seizures and recurring loss of consciousness. She depends on Tegretol CR 400 every day to prevent dangerous attacks which costs Approximately $50 per week.
👉Another super important goal of mine for my family is: Restoring Transportation/Income. 🛵 My motorcycle, which was my primary source of income/ transportation was completely destroyed. Purchasing a replacement would allow me to:
• Return to work, Support my family with dignity and Travel between displacement areas/ meet essential family needs.
A replacement (which would be a dream come true to me) would cost approximately $3,500
👉 Supporting Children Through Psychological Relief Activities 🎨
As most of you know, alongside caring for my family, I work with children affected by trauma through a community center dedicated to psychological support and emotional relief. As of right now, I am beyond thankful to God that this work is currently supported by an organization. However, this organization is only able to support this funding throughout September. I want to get ahead of things and save funds to be able to continue to bring joy/support to these children after the current funding is over.
👉What we provide for the children:
• Movement and sports activities
• Breakdancing sessions
• Drawing and art activities
• Cooperative games
These activities help children express their emotions, cope with fear and trauma, and regain moments of joy and hope. ❤️🩹
