Help 4 children of mother who died in childbirth

Donation protected
My name is Anila DeHart - I currently live in London, but was born and grew up in the rural Albania (a village north of Kukes). This upbringing helped shape me and also gave me deep gratitude for my opportunities and the commitment to give back. 

But it wasn't until one week ago when I got the news that my cousin (uncle's daughter) Xhevahire died in childbirth at the age of 34 that my sense of responsibility was tested in real ways . No words can describe the sadness!

Soon the sadness was overcome by a deep need to help her surviving 4 children - her new born baby boy (named Xhevahir after his late mother - picture on profile after a successful kidney surgery on day 7 of his life) and her 3 other children pictured below (from the right, Alteo - 2 years, Julia 10 years and Xhensila - 4 years).

The children are being cared for by their father who relies on agriculture to provide for them and his elderly parents. They live in a modest home in the village Bicaj (Kukes, Albania - see map and house pictures below).

I am deeply worried that my late cousin's surviving children will have a very hard life!

With my family's savings and your donations, I want to set up a fund to pay for a nanny for the children + provide for books, school stationery and school clothes. 

I'm hopeful that this support will enable the children to continue education and maintain their childhood friends, which will go a long way to help manage their loss and future.

I am grateful for any support you can provide. Thank you!!
