In the shadows of profound loss, Rokaia Falah, just 8 years old, navigates a world forever altered. Orphaned at 7, the gravity of her father’s absence—a void left by heart failure—rests heavily on her young shoulders. Rokaia, alongside her five siblings, faces a daily struggle that extends beyond the emotional toll of their father’s untimely departure to the pressing needs of survival: food, shelter, and warmth.

Fatima, 16, and Zahraa, 18, grapple with the bitter reality that their father will never witness their milestones—no proud walks down the aisle, no shared glances of accomplishment. Instead, they step into roles far beyond their years, shouldering the responsibility of holding their fragmented family together.

Hussein, at 13, confronts a childhood robbed of simple joys and paternal guidance, from playing soccer to learning life’s little lessons a father imparts. And little Qatar al-Nada, merely 4, will grow with no memory of her father’s laughter or embrace, only the echoes of a love she was too young to remember.

Amidst this tapestry of loss and resilience, the Falah siblings’ needs are fundamental yet urgent: a stable home, adequate food, the basic right to education and clothing—and a freezer/fridge to preserve the semblance of normalcy. Your support could weave a thread of hope into the fabric of their lives, offering relief and a promise of a brighter tomorrow. Will you extend your hand to Rokaia or her siblings, to lift them from despair and kindle the light of hope in their hearts?
