💔 A Father’s Request: Help Me Bring My Family Back Together
My name is Taye Tamirat.
I am a father, a husband, a
Christian, and a photographer—though that feels like a long time ago.
I used to live a happy life in Ethiopia. I had a loving family, with my wonderful wife and our two young sons, who are 8 and 4. Our home was full of laughter and love. I ran a busy photography studio, capturing important moments for others, while trying to create a good future for my children.
But then, everything changed in an instant.
When the war started, my life fell apart.
Violence hit our city
hard.
I barely got to hug my children and say goodbye.
We had to leave quickly. It was chaotic.
I lost my family in the
confusion—ever since, I’ve felt a deep emptiness.
My Losses:
🏚️ Our home—now in ruins
📷 My studio—destroyed
and stolen from
💔 The life I worked hard for—gone
Since that day, I've been struggling to survive—not actually
living.
I feel very lonely and empty.
Every day is just
about making it through.
My wife and kids are currently with relatives in a safer area, far
away.
It's been a long time since I last saw them.
I don’t
even know if they are okay—how they are sleeping, eating, or if they
are safe.
I miss hearing my sons call me “Dad.”
I long to see their faces,
hold them close, and tell them they are safe—that their father is here.
But I can’t make this happen... without help.
Why I’m Asking for Help:
I have lost my home, my job, and nearly
everything meaningful in my life—but I haven’t lost my hope.
I
still believe in God.
This is why I am asking for your help.
🙏 I’m hoping to raise $3,000 To:
âś… Reunite with my wife and
children
âś… Rebuild a small photography studio
âś… Create a
safe and stable life for my family
This request is not just for donations.
It's a lifeline.
A
way to bring my family back together.
To bring a father back to
his two little boys.
To help one man stand tall again after
losing everything.
🌟 How You Can Help:
Give any amount you can—every donation helps.

Pray for us—your prayers lift my spirits.
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his
glory in Christ Jesus.”
— Philippians 4:19
I am just one voice asking—for my sons, for my wife, and for a new
chance.
Your help is vital in bringing them home.
With heartfelt thanks and strong faith,
– Taye Tamirat
