Hamoudy and Ala'a with their inspiring dads! 

La bonheur le plus doux est celui qu'on partage. 
The sweetest happiness is the one that we share.
~old French proverb

Your love, laughter, and blessings are the best possible presents. If you wish to honor us with a gift, then please share our passion by giving to those more in need - specifically to the Iraqi Children Foundation (ICF) to benefit Iraq’s most vulnerable: orphans, street children, and kids displaced by ISIS.

The young man on the bottom right is Ala'a! This remarkable young man was orphaned in Iraq as a small child with cerebral palsy. And on the  left next to me is Humoody. In 2005, his family was ambushed in a Baghdad neighborhood. The attackers shot him in the face at close range and blinded him. Today, Humoody plays piano, wrestles and plays football. 

Through your gifted donations in lieu of gifts, Iraqi Children Foundation (ICF) can provide services such as education, healthcare, legal aid and basic childhood joys to Iraq's most vulnerable kids. We kindly request your generous gifts in form of a direct donation to Iraq's orphans and displaced children here: http://www.iraqichildren.org/donate/
