🇮🇶 October 3 | Iraq National Day 🇮🇶

Today, Iraqis across the world celebrate the homeland that lives far beyond its borders.
From Dukok to Basra, AlAnbar to Diyali
And across generations of Iraqis in America and throughout the diaspora, Iraq remains part of who we are.
🇮🇶🤍🇺🇸
We carry Iraq in our language, our traditions, our music and food, in the stories passed down by our families, and in the pride with which we introduce our heritage to the next generation.
🇺🇸🤍🇮🇶
For Iraqi Americans and Iraqis throughout the diaspora, today is also a reminder that distance does not erase belonging. Wherever life has taken us, we continue to preserve our heritage, celebrate the richness and diversity of our people, and build bridges between Iraq and the communities we now call home.

Happy to Iraqis everywhere.
May our heritage continue to connect generations and may the name of Iraq always be carried with love, dignity, and pride. 🇮🇶❤️

Our hearts are heavy as we share the devastating tragedy and loss of a family in our community.

A mother and her son tragically lost their lives in an act of domestic violence, leaving behind six children who are now facing unimaginable grief, uncertainty, and a future no child should ever have to face. 💔

A has been created to help provide these children with the care, stability, and support they urgently need during this heartbreaking time. If you are able to donate, please know that every contribution, no matter how small or big, can make a difference. If you are unable to donate, sharing the fundraiser can help it reach people who may be able to help.

We are also calling on our Kurdish-American and broader Iraqi-American community to come together for these children. If you are a relative, or if you know a trusted and loving family who may be legally able to provide temporary foster care, kinship care, or another safe placement for the siblings, please contact us.

Our hope is that these children can remain safe, supported, and whenever possible together, surrounded by their family, culture, language, and community while their long-term care is determined.

Six children lost their mother and brother in an instant. They need protection. They need stability. They need love. And right now, they need a village.🙏🏻

Please donate if you can. Please share this message. Most importantly, if you or someone you know may be in a safe and appropriate position to help, please reach out through the proper channels.

May their mother and brother rest in peace. May these children be surrounded by safety, compassion, and love in the difficult days ahead. 🤍🤍🕊️🕊️

قلوبنا موجوعة وثقيلة ونحن نشارككم هذا الخبر المفجع الذي أصاب عائلة من مجتمعنا. 😔

أم وابنها فقدوا حياتهم بشكل مأساوي نتيجة العنف الأسري، وخلّوا وراءهم ستة أطفال يواجهون حزنًا لا يوصف ومستقبلًا مجهولًا، وهو أمر لا ينبغي لأي طفل أن يمرّ به. 💔

تم إنشاء حملة GoFundMe لمساعدة الأطفال وتوفير الرعاية والاستقرار والدعم الذي يحتاجونه خلال هذه الظروف الصعبة جدًا. إذا تقدرون تتبرعون، أي مبلغ، مهما كان بسيطًا، ممكن يصنع فرقًا. وإذا ما تقدرون تتبرعون، نرجوا منكم مشاركة الحملة مع الاخرين حتى تصل إلى أكبر عدد ممكن من الأشخاص القادرين على المساعدة.

ونناشد أيضًا جاليتنا الكردية والعراقية بشكل عام أن تتكاتف من أجل هؤلاء الأطفال. إذا كان هناك عائلة موثوقة ومحبة، قادرة ومؤهلة قانونيًا لتوفير رعاية مؤقتة، يرجى التواصل.

أملنا أن يبقوا بأمان، وأن يحصلوا على الدعم والرعاية، وأن يبقوا معًا قدر الإمكان، مرتبطين بعائلتهم وثقافتهم ولغتهم ومجتمعهم، إلى أن يتم تحديد الرعاية المناسبة لهم على المدى الطويل.

ستة أطفال فقدوا أمهم وأخاهم في لحظة واحدة. هم بحاجة إلى الحماية والاستقرار والحب. وهم الآن بحاجة إلى وقفة مجتمع كامل معهم.

إذا تقدرون، تبرعوا. شاركوا هذا المنشور. والأهم، إذا تعرفون شخصًا قادرًا على مساعدتهم بطريقة آمنة ومناسبة، نرجو التواصل عبر القنوات والجهات الرسمية المختصة.

الله يرحم أمهم وأخاهم، ويحفظ هؤلاء الأطفال ويحيطهم بالأمان والرحمة والمحبة في الأيام الصعبة القادمة. 🙏🏻🕊️
