Thabet… when displacement becomes the headline
Since Thabet lost his father,
he no longer knows where home ends… and where the road begins.
He used to live a simple life like any child.
School, friends, ordinary days.
Then the news came.
He lost his father, and in that moment, everything changed.
The loss was not a passing grief;
it was the beginning of a new life… nothing like childhood.
They left their home suddenly—
without bedding, without blankets, without clothes.
As if they had not only left a house,
but left an entire life behind.
Since the first day of the war,
Thabet and his family have been displaced nearly fifteen times—
between relatives’ homes, schools, and tents.
Until now, they do not even have a tent of their own.
He has slept on the ground,
faced the cold without a blanket,
and endured days without enough food or water.
Each time, he would ask himself:
Will we stay here?
But the answer was always… to leave again.
Years of his life have passed without school,
and survival became more important than lessons or play.
Thabet is no longer the child he once was.
He carries in his heart a sorrow bigger than his age,
and he tries to be strong… because life gives him no other choice.
He does not ask for much.
Just a stable shelter,
a school to return to,
and a piece of the safety he lost.
Sponsoring Thabet is not merely financial support—
it is restoring the meaning of stability to a child who has not known it for a long time.
