Food parcels meet physical needs, but offering them with dignity and respect provides silent, profound emotional support.

Brickmakers in Pakistan have always faced severe struggles that are commonly described as modern-day slavery or debt bo***ge.

For Sewera and her five children, survival is a daily battle. Already strained by a low-income household, the family has been pushed to the brink, first by the affects of the Covid pandemic and now by the affects of global conflicts. For families like hers, aid is essential for survival.

It is heartbreaking to know about the need and not being able to help. Is this not the time we all have to come together and help those in need?

Remember the song 'We are the World' from way back in 1985?

'When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need.'

These lyrics say it all.
We need your help.
