Help starved people

by Raad
(Qatar)

Sharing others with their problems and feelings is not enough. We daily hears many people starve and die . Actually, no any serious action has been done yet.
I have decided to take an imitative to help those people .I have phoned my friend up .
I told them the rate of the starving people will not level off at least in the near future and your supports in this issue are required and highly appreciated.
I hold out my close friend and my wife to help me by chipping in.
My character longs for peace and help others wherever they are irrespective race , religion and color.

Here is my edited version:


Helping others share their problems and feelings is not enough. We hear daily about many people who are starving and dying. Actually, no serious action has been done yet.

I have decided to take an initiative to help these people. I have phoned my friends up.
I told them the rate of starving people will not level off at least in the near future and their support in this issue is required and highly appreciated.

I hold out my close friend and my wife as examples for others to follow to help me raise money.
("My character"? maybe "My soul")I long for peace and I want to help others wherever they are irrespective of race, religion and color.

((
The meaning of the second last sentence is unclear; here is the meaning of hold out. I take the first meaning (number one below) and edited the story that way.
hold out
1. To present or proffer as something attainable.
2. To continue to be in supply or service; last: Our food is holding out nicely.
3. To continue to resist: The defending garrison held out for a month.
4. To refuse to reach or satisfy an agreement.
