"The Dog and My Child: The Lifelong Friend I Didn't Expect"
In the midst of the sounds of bombing that did not subside, and in the midst of the siege that took away everything beautiful from our lives, my little child found in his little dog a window to another world, a world filled with tenderness and hope. Even though life around us became heavy, full of fear and hunger, my child’s heart was beating with non-stop love, love for his little dog.
He took care of him every day, making sure to find him something to eat even if he had to split his small portion of food. They spent long hours together, running through the rubble, playing as if the war was far away from them. The dog was giving him a kind of security, and my child was giving him the same security in return, as if each of them was saying to the other: “As long as we are together, we will not give in to fear.”
One night, when it was raining fire and the sound of planes was shattering the stillness, my child held his dog in his arms and whispered to him, “Don't worry, we'll be fine...as long as we're together.”
In that moment, I realized that my child, despite all the destruction surrounding him, still retained his humanity. He and the dog represent the hope that war cannot destroy, the hope that lives in little hearts that know how to love and care, even in the darkest circumstances.
But this friendship, which connects two tired hearts, is threatened by lack and need. My child and his dog don't want much, just enough to sustain this shared life. A little food, some care, and an ounce of hope. Your donation will give these two companions a chance to stay together, in a world that has forgotten them, but is still full of hearts like yours, that can reach out to them.
