On the night of Sunday, August 31, 2025, a powerful 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck Afghanistan, leaving thousands of families without homes, food, or warmth. Before many could even pull their loved ones from the rubble, a series of aftershocks ranging from 4.0 to 5.2 magnitude struck the following days, devastating already fragile homes and crushing neighborhoods again and again. This story hits close to home. My uncle, Mama Mafooz, survived not one, but three devastating earthquakes in Kabul, each time rebuilding his home with his bare hands. As a young girl visiting him, I marveled at how the house had changed yet again, and he would share the heart-wrenching struggles of reconstructing it through harsh winters, brick by brick, with unwavering determination. He was one of the gentlest and most hardworking men in our family, a true symbol of resilience and strength in the face of relentless hardship. With winter fast approaching, children are forced to sleep in the cold, mothers struggle to protect their families, and countless lives hang in the balance. Every moment counts, they need our help right now! Please give what you can and share this campaign. Together, we can keep families safe, warm, and hopeful in their darkest hour. Thank you for standing with Afghanistan and for honoring the resilience of people like my uncle, Mama Mafooz.
