You are a a lifeline for Nourhan
|
Hi Reader, When I first "met" Nourhan's family, it was through an Instagram video of her daughter Najat, then 4 years old, enthusiastically cooking in their tent. She had such a sweet and hopeful spirit, despite all the trauma that she, her mother, and her little brother Mohammed had been through. Over the last two years, I've lost count of how many times Nourhan and her children were displaced. They had several brushes with violence that were incredibly close calls. Through it all, Nourhan has been a courageous and persistent advocate for her children, regularly sharing updates on social media. Still, donations have not kept pace with their needs, especially since the ceasefire was declared late last year. This winter their tent has been flooded in torrential rains more than once. They lost all their food and belongings in the flooding, and Nourhan told me yesterday that she still has not been able to replace many of the basic items that were lost, Nourhan urgently needs our help right now because on top of all she's already been through this month, today Mohammed, who has asthma, is having surgery to address his breathing problems. He is scheduled for another surgery three weeks from now for a different medical problem. Nourhan needs donations to cover the cost of both these surgeries, which are quite expensive. She also needs funds for medicine and food for the children. Since losing their food stores in the flooding, it has truly been a daily struggle for her to meet her precious little ones' most basic needs. Can you share the cost of a takeout coffee - or more if you can afford - with Nourhan? Your gift of any size will truly be a lifeline as little Mohammed endures these urgently needed surgeries.
Nourhan's campaign is in US dollars, but when you click on the "donate now" button, you'll see options to give in several major currencies. With love and solidarity, Rebekah Gienapp and the Coffees for Gaza team Invite a friend to subscribe | Coffees for Gaza on Instagram | Family Sponsor Program |

Hi Reader, Today I'd like to tell you more about one of our 25 families: Fadi, his wife Alaa, and their three daughters: Danya (age 13), Kinda (age 10), and Leen (age 7.)

Fadi worked for a large bank as a International Investment Consultant. Before the genocide began, Alaa was hoping to open a shop. During the war, they were displaced multiple...
