happy pride 🌈

We are trying to reach $600 before Eid, and honestly, we are feeling overwhelmed…

Every small thing now feels impossible for us to afford.

Despite everything, we are still trying to create even a small sense of life for our children.

There is no real happiness around us anymore… but we are trying our best to let them feel that Eid still exists.

We want to buy them simple Eid clothes and give them at least one small moment of joy in the middle of all this pain.

As parents, it hurts to feel unable to do even the smallest things for your children.

That is why we are asking for help before Eid. 



Any donation, even small, could help us get closer to this goal.

And sharing our story could help us reach kind people willing to stand beside us during these difficult days 🤍

I am Youssef from Gaza, father of Lana, Abdul Karim, and Adam. My home was destroyed and we are living in tents under the scorching sun. My wife is eight months pregnant and her health is difficult due to malnutrition. Be in my place. How would I wait for my child, who was born in poor condition? My heart is broken. I dreamed of a wonderful life to spend with them, a dignified life. A life not filled with death, fear, destruction, and deprivation. I wanted to fill his room with toys and his closet with clothes. I wanted to buy him children's books, but I couldn't. The war came and my hopes were shattered. My goal became providing him with a 70-pound carton of milk and food. I can barely afford anything. Everything is expensive, and we no longer have the income to buy his needs. Bayd Al-Karam has been deprived of many of his basic needs. He has been deprived of security and stability. No fruits, no meat, no flour. A kilo of flour costs £30. Vegetables are exorbitantly expensive. A kilo of tomatoes costs £20, a kilo of eggplant £20, a head of garlic £25, a kilo of peppers £25. Nothing but fear fills my children's eyes. As soon as they hear the sounds of explosions around them, they start crying. Today, a kilo of onions costs £70, a kilo of zucchini £30, and a kilo of lemons £50. Water is undrinkable, and we struggle to obtain it through waiting in line, and most of the time, we are unable to obtain it.

Every donation for my children will save us from the tragedy we live every day in Gaza.🙏🫂.

Thank you so much for your generous donations, kindness, and support for me and my family. But we are still halfway there. Our situation and fate in Gaza are still unknown, yet we still yearn for a better future. If this is possible and if it doesn't overwhelm you, please share your donations through my GFM donation link.
