Karim’s Story: A Father’s Plea from Gaza

My name is Fadi, and I am the father of a brave 10-year-old boy named Karim. We live in Gaza, a place where war leaves scars not just on the land but on the people. My son, Karim, is one of those whose life was forever changed by the war.

One day, as bombs fell around us, our lives were torn apart. Karim lost his leg in the chaos. His laughter, his running, his carefree childhood—all stolen in an instant. Now, every year, Karim needs a new prosthetic leg to match the growth of his bones. Every year, he requires a complex surgery to ensure the prosthetic fits properly. These are not just medical needs; they are his only hope for a normal life.

As a father, I feel helpless. The war took everything from us—our home, my job, and any sense of stability. Watching Karim struggle while knowing I can’t provide what he needs is the greatest pain I’ve ever known.

Despite it all, Karim is a fighter. He smiles through the pain and dreams of running, playing, and living like other children. But he cannot achieve this dream alone. The costs of his prosthetic limbs and surgeries are overwhelming.

Karim’s journey is not just about overcoming the physical challenges. It’s about hope, resilience, and the determination to rebuild a life stolen by war.

Will you help my son Karim walk again? Together, we can turn his dreams into reality and prove that even in the darkest places, hope can shine through.https://gofund.me/a1174ab9
