Help Amjad Rebuild His Life After War

I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY LIFE BEFORE EVERYTHING CHANGED. I WAS A PLUMBER—NOT JUST A JOB, BUT MY WAY OF BUILDING A FUTURE. EVERY MORNING, I’D WAKE UP EARLY, GRAB MY TOOLS, AND HEAD OUT TO FIX PIPES, REPAIR HOMES, AND HELP MY COMMUNITY. IT MADE ME PROUD TO KNOW MY HANDS WERE CREATING SOMETHING THAT WOULD LAST.

I HAD BIG DREAMS. I WAS SAVING UP TO BUILD AN APARTMENT OF MY OWN. IT WAS GOING TO BE SMALL BUT ENOUGH FOR ME AND MY FUTURE FAMILY. I DREAMED OF GETTING MARRIED AND CREATING A STABLE, HAPPY LIFE. I WANTED MY CHILDREN TO GROW UP IN A HOME FILLED WITH LOVE AND PEACE, SOMETHING I WAS WORKING HARD EVERY DAY TO ACHIEVE.

WHEN I WASN’T WORKING, I SPENT TIME WITH MY FAMILY. WE’D SHARE SIMPLE MEALS TOGETHER, TALK ABOUT OUR HOPES, AND PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. I LOVED THOSE MOMENTS—THE LAUGHTER, THE DREAMS WE SHARED, AND THE BELIEF THAT TOMORROW WOULD ALWAYS BE BETTER.

LIFE WASN’T EASY, BUT IT WAS MINE. I FELT STRONG, CAPABLE, AND HOPEFUL. I NEVER IMAGINED THAT IN A SINGLE MOMENT, EVERYTHING I HAD BUILT—EVERY DREAM I HAD—WOULD BE TAKEN AWAY.

THAT WAS MY LIFE BEFORE THE WAR. A LIFE FILLED WITH HARD WORK, LOVE, AND HOPE. NOW, ALL I CAN DO IS HOLD ONTO THE MEMORIES AND PRAY FOR A CHANCE TO REBUILD.

NOW, EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT. THE WAR TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME—MY HEALTH, MY LIVELIHOOD, AND THE FUTURE I WORKED SO HARD FOR. ONE MOMENT, I WAS JUST A FEW STEPS AWAY FROM A BRIGHTER TOMORROW; THE NEXT, I WAS FIGHTING TO SURVIVE.

I WAS NEAR A HOUSE WHEN IT WAS HIT BY AN AIRSTRIKE. THE SHARPNEL TORE THROUGH MY BODY, DAMAGING MY LUNG AND KIDNEYS, AND BREAKING MY LEG SO BADLY THAT IT NEEDED METAL PLATES. SINCE THAT DAY, I HAVE BEEN PARALYZED, UNABLE TO WALK OR WORK.

NOW, I LIVE IN A SMALL TENT WITH MY SISTER. SHE’S MY ONLY CAREGIVER, BUT SHE CAN’T WORK EITHER. WE DEPEND ON THE GENEROSITY OF NEIGHBORS FOR FOOD AND OTHER NECESSITIES, BUT IT’S NOT ENOUGH—NOT EVEN CLOSE. THE MEDICAL CARE I NEED IS EXPENSIVE, AND WITHOUT IT, MY CONDITION WILL ONLY GET WORSE. 

WHAT I NEED TO SURVIVE

I NEED URGENT SURGERY TO REMOVE THE SHRAPNEL FROM MY BODY, TREATMENT FOR MY DAMAGED KIDNEYS, AND REHABILITATION TO HAVE A CHANCE TO WALK AGAIN. THESE ARE NOT JUST MEDICAL PROCEDURES; THEY ARE MY ONLY HOPE OF LIVING A LIFE BEYOND THIS TENT.

BUT THE COSTS ARE OVERWHELMING, AND I CAN’T DO THIS ALONE. THIS IS WHY I’M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP.

HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT ME

YOUR DONATION CAN MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE:

• SURGERY: TO REMOVE THE SHRAPNEL AND REPAIR THE DAMAGE TO MY ORGANS.

• PHYSICAL THERAPY: TO HELP ME REGAIN MOVEMENT IN MY LEG AND GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO WALK AGAIN.

• LIVING EXPENSES: TO PROVIDE FOOD, MEDICINE, AND A SAFE PLACE FOR ME AND MY SISTER DURING MY RECOVERY.

EVEN THE SMALLEST DONATION CAN BRING ME ONE STEP CLOSER TO GETTING THE CARE I NEED. EVERY DINAR YOU GIVE IS A STEP TOWARD HEALING, HOPE, AND REBUILDING WHAT I’VE LOST.

IF YOU CAN’T DONATE, YOU CAN STILL HELP
PLEASE SHARE MY STORY WITH OTHERS. YOU MIGHT REACH SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP. RAISING AWARENESS CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

WHY THIS MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME

MY DREAMS HAVEN’T CHANGED—I STILL WANT TO WALK, WORK, AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. BUT I CAN’T DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP. PLEASE, DON’T LET MY STORY END HERE.

TOGETHER, YOU CAN HELP ME TURN THIS TRAGEDY INTO A STORY OF HOPE AND RESILIENCE. PLEASE, DONATE TODAY AND GIVE ME A CHANCE TO LIVE AGAIN.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

قِصَّتِي: مِن الأَمَل لِلْمُعَانَاة وَطَلَب المُسَاعَدَة

كُنْت أَشْتَغِل سَبَّاك، وَحَيَاتِي كَانَت بَسِيطَة وَمَلْيَانَة أَمَل. كُل يَوْم أَصْحَى بَدْرِي، أَخُذ عِدَّتِي، وَأَبْنِي لِنَفْسِي مُسْتَقْبَل. كُنْت أَحْلَم أَبْنِي شَقَّة صَغِيرَة أَتْزَوَّج فِيهَا، وَأَكُون عِيلَة صَغِيرَة.

الحَيَاة كَانَت مَش سَهْلَة، بَس كَانَ فِيهَا أَمَل وَحُلُوم. مَا كُنْت أَتَخَيَّل إِنُّه فِي لَحْظَة، كُل إِشِي يَضِيع، وَيْصِير حَيَاتِي كِلَّهَا أَلَم.

بَعْد القَصْف، أَصَابْنِي شَظَايَا فِي الرِئَة وَالكُلَى، وَرِجْلِي إِنْكَسَرَت كَسْر شَدِيد. هَلْقِيْت، أَنَا مَش قَادِر أَمْشِي أَو أَشْتَغِل. أَنَا عَايِش فِي خَيْمَة مَع أُخْتِي، وَإِحْنَا مُعْتَمْدِين عَ التَبَرُّعَات الصَّغِيرَة.

إحْتَاج لِعِلَاج مُسْتَعْجَل لِإِزَالَة الشَظَايَا، وَتَرْمِيم الكُلَى، وَتَأْهِيل عَشَان أَرْجِع أَمْشِي. بَدُون هَادَ العِلَاج، وَضْعِي حَيِسُوء أَكْتَر.

مُسَاعَدَتَكُم حَتْفْرِق كْتِير:

• عَمَلِيَة جِرَاحِيَة لِإِزَالَة الشَظَايَا.

• عِلَاج طَبِيعِي لَأَسْتَرِد قُدْرَتِي عَلَى المَشْي.

• تَغْطِيَة احْتِيَاجَات الحَيَاة الأَسَاسِيَة.

حَتَّى التَبَرُّع البَسِيط حَيَكُون إِلُّه أَثَر كْبِير فِي حَيَاتِي. وَإِذَا مَا قَدَرْتُو تَتْبَرَّعُوا، بِمْكِن تَنَشْرُوا قِصَّتِي عَشَان تُوصَل لِكُل النَّاس.

حُلُومِي مَا تَغَيَّرَت—بِدِّي أَرْجِع أَمْشِي، أَشْتَغِل، وَأَبْنِي حَيَاة جَدِيدَة. بِمُسَاعَدَتَكُم، مُمْكِن أَحَوِّل هَادِي المُعَانَاة لِقِصَّة أَمَل.

لَو سَمَحْتُوا، تَبَرَّعُوا اليَوْم، وَإِنْقِذُوا حَيَاتِي. شُكْرًا مِن كُل قَلْبِي.
