Our hearts are broken. 💔🐾

A short while ago, we shared our story about two tiny kittens who came into our lives after losing their mother. They were alone in the middle of war, hunger, and fear here in Gaza. We promised to protect them as best as we could, even while struggling to provide milk for our own baby.

Today, I write this with deep sadness… we have lost one of the kittens.

My daughter Noor was deeply attached to her. She cried for hours, holding her little blanket, asking why she had to leave us. In a place already filled with loss, this small soul meant comfort and hope to my child. Losing her has added another layer of pain to our hearts.

Now, only one kitten remains. And I am more determined than ever to protect her.

We are still living under extremely difficult conditions in Gaza — shortages, high prices, and constant uncertainty. Providing proper milk and care for the remaining kitten has become even more challenging for us. But I cannot bear to see another innocent life fade away.

I am asking for your support to help us provide milk and basic care for the kitten who is still with us. Your donation, no matter how small, can truly make a difference in keeping her alive and safe.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing our story. Your share might reach someone who can help.

Every act of kindness matters. Every share, every prayer, every small contribution brings hope back into our home — especially for my daughter Noor, who is already carrying so much sadness.

Thank you for standing with us. 🤍

I’m writing to you with a very heavy heart. Today, by God’s grace, I had surgery on the tendon in my right hand at the Jordanian Field Hospital after suffering from severe pain for a long time. I truly pray this surgery will ease my pain and help me get back to caring for my family during these very difficult days.

The recovery will not be easy. My hand will stay wrapped and immobilized for more than two weeks, and I will need medication and wound dressings that must be changed every three days.

Life under war and siege is already so hard. We struggle every day just to provide food, clean water, diapers, and the most basic needs for our children. Now, with my hand unable to work and the medical expenses adding up, the burden on my family has become even heavier.

I never imagined I would have to ask for help while recovering from surgery, but today I’m reaching out from the bottom of my heart. If you can help, even with a small donation, it will make a real difference in helping me get the treatment I need and regain my strength so I can continue caring for my family.

And if you can’t donate, please share our campaign and keep us in your prayers. Your kindness means more than words can say, and it gives us hope in these dark times. ❤️

Today, these two kittens joined our family after their mother gave birth in my children's closet. Now these kittens have lost their mother, and I am forced to raise them among my children. It is difficult for me to throw them out onto the street to face this harsh world.

These two kittens are now sharing my baby's milk and need veterinary care, which I cannot afford. Please help these sweet creatures.

Just as I struggled with my husband before to build my family and home, I will rebuild my family and home again.

I am Ayat Hamdan,

a mother of four children.

I know I am burdening you with a request for help, but all doors have been closed in front of us.

We returned from displacement... only to find my house completely destroyed and burned.

Now, my family and I are homeless. I lost my small project, and my husband lost his job because of this war.

We no longer own anything, except for our hope in God and your compassionate hearts.💖

My children are suffering from severe malnutrition and lack of medicine; their teeth and bones can no longer bear the pain.

And now we are in a danger zone, threatened with evacuation, as shells fall near us, and we cannot flee due to the high cost of transportation.

We barely receive donations of $5, which is hardly enough for a loaf of bread for my little daughter. Our situation has become pitiable. If each of you donates $25, it will make a difference for my devastated family.

I’m writing with worry and hope 🤍. I’m now in my seventh month of pregnancy 🤰 and haven’t been able to prepare basic items for my baby — no clothes 👶🧸, diapers 🧷, or formula 🍼. Unfortunately, I currently have no income because of the war 💔, and the financial situation is very difficult.

We are in a fragile ceasefire 🕊️, and prices have dropped slightly. I want to take advantage of this temporary situation to buy what my baby needs before things possibly get worse 😔. I’m afraid that if the fighting resumes, prices will skyrocket 📈 or some essentials will disappear from the market 🏪. That’s why any help now would make an immediate and huge difference 🙏💖.

Any support — a small donation 💌, sharing this page 🔁, or even a prayer 🤲 — would mean the world to me 🌍.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone standing with me during this hard time 💕🌸

With gratitude,

Ayat Hamdan 🤍
