🙏Our friend Attar needs our help.
My sister in law is fundraising for a friend of her’s, who has now been displaced multiple times, due to the Israeli war.
Every penny donated it’s going straight to Attar, Aya and their beautiful baby to help pay for the medical care that they need.
There’s a donation link in our bio, but there will also be a collection box in the shop.

Attar and Aya are Palestinian refugees in Lebanon whose home was destroyed by Israeli bombing in March 2026.
“I got to know Attar through the cycling community in Lebanon. He's a crazy strong cyclist - he took me on loads of bike adventures round Lebanon and looked after my Mum when she visited. We've stayed in touch and I was super happy to hear he'd got married.” - Lauren
On 3rd March Israel bombed Saida, where Attar and Aya were living in a Palestinian refugee camp.
Aya was 4 months pregnant.
Their house and everything in it was destroyed.
They fled to North Lebanon, but as Israel continued to bomb they fled to Turkey.
They have been displaced for nearly 3 months, and struggling to get food, resulting in Aya becoming severely anaemic.
Aya had their baby, Jihad, - delivered 2 months early by C section in Marmaris State Hospital.
She was advised by doctors in Turkey that she was so unwell that there was extreme risk to her and the baby if she carried the pregnancy to term.
It has been impossible for Attar to earn money in Turkey as he does not have the right to work.
Their baby will need to be in an incubator for at least 2 months, costing €120 per day.
Attar is terrified he's going to lose his baby if they can't get the money together.

Any donation is appreciated.
