Hi! I'm the 30-years old artist from Finland, Europe and came to UAE last October after war started in Israel. I was supposed to stay here for a short amount of time, but I found people who told me about opportunities in this country and brought me back hope and joy in my life. I worked in a school and my work ended recently. The country has been affected by heavy rains and flood. We had more rain in one day what the country usually has in one year. It has affected people's homes, way of living, working and feeling of safety in this country. I would want to help those in need and that I have necessary resources to help community here, such as providing food and extra shelter if needed. Electricity has been out in apartments and water has caused damages in living areas. In this time of need, just having someone to talk to and share a meal can do a big difference for a person who has been alone in this situation. I'm reaching for help through this website, if you feel in your heart you want to help. You can also be in contact with me through social media, and I can share more about the situation, my work and how the donation will help people here in this area. Be blessed and thank you.
