This is the last day before Waseem has to pay Nabil's school fees, and he's still about $100 short. Nabil loves school and last year got a certificate of excellence. If you can, please help him stay there.

From Waseem: With the escalation of the conflict and the closure of Gaza's crossings, basic necessities like food and medicine are becoming scarce. Prices are skyrocketing, and markets are nearly empty. I urgently need €200 to cover food and school fees. ❤️ Please support us.

Mohammed and Nabil always try hard to be happy and keep their family's spirits up, but the truth is that this Ramadan, when Muslim kids elsewhere are getting treats every night, they're barely getting any food at all. Please help if you can.

There's been quite a slowdown in donations, which I think is the case for almost all the Palestinian families. But it's tough in the lead-up to Ramadan. People are weakened by 2 years of deprivation and they need good food to break their fast.

Waseem asked me to post this picture of his son Tim today, who had his 3rd birthday recently. The majority of this little boy's life has been taken up with fleeing from bombs, enduring life in a tent. But I'm struck by how happy he looks in spite of it all.

Several months ago, Waseem got a shrapnel injury. Some of it was buried too deep for immediate removal. It now has to come out because it's moving into a dangerous place. Can you help him raise the $500 he needs for surgery?
