Thank you for your continued compassion and support. Over the course of 13 days in Amman, our team engaged with over 175 evacuated families from Gaza, many of them children suffering from cancer, terminal illnesses, or severe trauma. Below is a summary of what your generosity helped achieve, and why our work must continue.

- Engaged children at four emergency accommodations:
- Distributed therapy toys, art supplies, sports equipment, and sweets to bring moments of joy and normality.
2. Individualised Care for Terminally Ill Children

- Tablets and phones to connect with family in Gaza.

The Harsh Reality: Why This Work Must Continue
On December 3rd, we received an urgent update: Several families were returned to Gaza without notice, many stripped of belongings, and left without food, shelter, water, or medication. This heart-breaking turn of events underscores the fragility and urgency of our mission. The children we met are not only facing illness and displacement, they are living in constant uncertainty.

- Weekly play therapy sessions for evacuated children.
- Continuous material and emotional support for terminally ill patients and their caregivers.
