Hello everyone,

My name is [Your Name], and I’m the father of a beautiful little boy named Youssef, who will turn 6 years old on May 8th. Life has been incredibly difficult for us ever since his mother — may she rest in peace — passed away. Since then, I’ve been doing my best to raise him alone, to be both his mother and father.

We live in very hard conditions. I am currently unemployed, and we are struggling even to meet our basic daily needs. But despite everything, Youssef remains a kind and sweet child who never complains, even when he has so little.

This year, he looked at me with his innocent eyes and asked:

"Daddy, will I have a birthday like my friends?"

His question broke my heart. How can I give him a birthday when I can’t even afford a cake? A gift?

So here I am, humbly asking for your help. I’m trying to raise £500 to give Youssef a small birthday celebration — nothing fancy, just a simple party, a toy or two, and a memory he can hold onto.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference.

Please help me bring a little joy to his heart on his special day.

Help me show him that he’s not forgotten, that kindness still exists in this world.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

A father who’s simply trying to make his son smile.
