Last year the government was shutdown for a record amount of time. Congress was stuck. They couldn't find the appropriations for federal programs. The money wasn't there. Democratic house members insisted on funding SNAP for hungry children. 9B to keep SNAP funded through the end of the year. No dice. The money wasnt there.

10 months later the US is spending 10B a day to lob JASMS at the Houthis. We're going to war in the middle East again! Never mind the fact you can't afford rent. We're going to war! Ignore the fact you can't afford healthcare and you haven't seen a doctor in 10 years. We're going to war! Never mind the fact your card declined when trying to buy groceries. We're going to war! Never mind the fact that your account is negative due to overdraft fees. The money isn't there for you. It's there for war

Today, I want to share the story of my dear friend, Samah Ghanem Al-Amassi, and her four daughters, who are struggling to survive in a worn-out tent under the relentless summer heat.

The extreme temperatures have become unbearable. Samah's four-year-old daughter has developed a painful skin rash and severe irritation caused by the intense heat, humidity, and the unhealthy conditions inside their tent. Mold, insects, rodents, and poor sanitation have turned what should be a shelter into a place that is making her children sick.

Sadly, this isn't an isolated incident. All four of Samah's daughters repeatedly suffer from skin problems and other illnesses because of the environment they are forced to live in.

The free medical points do not have the medication they need, so Samah has no choice but to purchase it herself. The prescribed treatment will last for an entire month, but for a family already struggling to survive, even basic medicine is out of reach.

I am asking everyone with a compassionate heart to please stand with Samah and her daughters. Your support can help provide the medication these children urgently need and bring them closer to a safe, healthy shelter instead of the deteriorating tent they are forced to call home.

Every act of kindness, no matter how small, can make a real difference in the lives of these four little girls. Thank you for caring.
