My dear brother Eyup Lovely @eyuplovely 🤍🎂 For your birthday, we wanted to give you something from our hearts. So we decided to paint our gratitude on the walls of Gaza itself. The young members of Project Mohammed painted your portrait on one of the walls still standing amid the destruction—a birthday gift from the people whose lives you have touched. Here, your voice has helped bring water to thirsty children, bread to hungry families, and meals to people exhausted by hunger. The war may have destroyed the buildings around us, but it could never erase the gratitude in our hearts. We wanted your portrait to remain here, among the people you stood beside during the most difficult days of their lives. When the children see your portrait, we want them to know: “This is Eyup—a man who may be far away, but whose heart is very close to Gaza. His voice helped bring us water and bread.” On your birthday, we hope you can feel some of the warmth you have brought into our lives. Behind every distribution you helped make possible are families who may never have met you, but who have felt your kindness in something as real as a meal shared with their children. You helped the world see and hear us. You stood beside our young team. And you gave others a reason to stand beside us too. From the children of Gaza, the young members of Project Mohammed, and the depths of our hearts: happy birthday, brother. May the year ahead bring you kindness, friendship, and many reasons to smile. Please accept this mural as a small gift of love from Gaza. Your impact will remain in our hearts—even if these walls disappear one day. 🤍🇵🇸 If you would like to celebrate Eyup’s birthday with us, help continue the work he has supported. Every donation helps us bring more water, bread, and meals to families in Gaza. Support Project Muhammed directly: chuffed.org/project/178918-h…
