This has changed everything for HaBu…
He got his new play mat! It might not seem like much, but for his family, it means everything. Here’s why:
When we first met HaBu and his family, he didn’t have a safe place to play. His medical needs put him at high risk of injury with the smallest of bumps or falls. His parents work hard every day in their farm fields, and that meant Ha Bu had to stay at home alone sometimes. It was hard for them to keep Ha Bu safe and also provide for their family at the same time.
For HaBu, the new mat is more than just a soft space to play. It’s the only safe area in their home where he can crawl, sit, and explore without the risk of injury on hard, uneven floors. Now, HaBu can move freely and confidently—just like any growing child should.
For his parents, the mat represents something even bigger: dignity, relief, and a deep sense of care. It’s a physical reminder that someone sees them, supports them, and believes that their son deserves safety, joy, and room to grow.
This simple mat changes the way HaBu interacts with his world. It’s a space for learning, bonding, and becoming. And in a home with very limited resources, it brings peace of mind that no one can put a price on.
Your generosity, your belief in the power of small things, your willingness to stand with families like HaBu’s—that’s what made this moment possible. Whether you gave time, resources, or simply followed along and shared our work, you played a part in making HaBu’s home safer, softer, and a lot more hopeful.
One play mat. One family. One small but powerful step toward a safer childhood.
Thank you for providing safety and security to children—one family at a time.
