Hope Through The Rubble: Adel And His Family Need Your Help! This survival campaign has been set up on behalf of a family trapped in a genocide in Palestine.

I've been helping Adel, a father of 8 in Gaza, to set up a more permanent structure when his tent collapsed this winter. But his little brother was harmed in a bomb explosion this week & they're in desperate need of more than I can give alone. Please help if you can: chuffed.org/project/1665...
