It has been 4 days without any support or donations !? while my grandmother urgently needs her daily medication, which costs €60 per day—€420 every week.🙏💔😭

Please don't let her reach the point where the treatment is no longer effective and her condition becomes critical.🙏

My grandmother means the world to me. Along with my mother, my child, and my family, they are the most precious people in my life. We have given up our own basic needs, even food, because keeping my grandmother alive is our only priority.

If you can't donate, please consider sharing my campaign. It may reach someone who can help.🙏🙏

Every euro makes a difference, and every share could help save my grandmother's life.

Hilda🙏💔😭

It feels like no one hears my calls for help or sees how much my grandmother is suffering😥

🔴We ask for only one thing: that my grandmother can stay alive.💔

We've reduced our meals to just one a day so we can afford her medication. My mother goes without, and even my little child has less food because every euro we have goes toward keeping my grandmother alive.

I don't know when you'll stand by my side.

Will it be only after I lose someone I love‼️❓

I never imagined I would be writing these words while my mother is in the ICU. These are the hardest days of my life. Every minute feels heavy with fear, and every phone call from the hospital makes my heart stop for a moment

My mother urgently needs to undergo her heart procedure as soon as possible. The doctors have made it clear that her condition is serious, and our family is terrified as we wait and pray beside her 💔

We are now only $191 away. If just 8 kind people donate $25 each, we can almost reach our goal today. Such a small amount may seem a small amount to some, but for us, it feels like the final door standing between my mother and the treatment she desperately needs.💔😔

I keep refreshing the fundraiser every few minutes, hoping to see a donation, hoping to see proof that someone out there still cares. I am exhausted. I am scared. I am watching my mother suffer while knowing that the treatment she needs is so close, yet still out of reach 😔

Please don't scroll away thinking someone else will help. If everyone waits for another person to act, nothing will change. Be one of those 8 people.

I am not asking for luxury, comfort, or anything extra. I am only asking for the chance to help my mother receive the urgent treatment her doctors have recommended.I am begging you from the bottom of my heart. Please help us raise the last $191. Even the smallest donation could bring my mother one step closer to the urgent operation she needs . We are holding on to hope with everything we have left. 💔🙏

My wife is suffering from severe malnutrition and is five months pregnant. We've been here at the hospital for a week, fighting for her.

My wife urgently needs treatment in order for her condition to improve.

We are living through catastrophic conditions; we are suffering from a severe shortage of food and medicine.

Please Donate Now ..🥹

This could be the last time I write anything while my wife is still alive, and I will never forgive anyone who sees this and scrolls past without caring or even sharing.

Please don't let money decide whether my mom lives or dies today. She is in the ICU, and every minute her condition gets worse. Nothing is more painful than watching her suffer while money is the only thing standing between her and survival.

Your donation right now is what keeps her alive for another week. It gives her another chance to survive.

Our critical target for this week is $700. We can end this nightmare immediately if 28 people donate $25.

Please, do not let her face this alone. Donate $5, $10, or whatever you can this exact second. If you can't, you MUST share this.

My mother's life hangs by a thread, and I can only watch as time slips away without being able to do enough to save her. We still urgently need $500 to cover the treatment she has been waiting for. Please, if you are able to help, don't put it off. Every moment that passes fills me with fear that we may lose her before she gets the chance to receive the care she needs. I am begging everyone with compassion in their heart to help us today. No donation is too small, your kindness could bring my mother one step closer to the treatment she desperately needs and give our family hope when we need it most.

I'm not writing this for attention.

My sister is in critical condition. She is suffering from severe bleeding, and her heart is beating dangerously slowly. Doctors have told us she needs emergency surgery to survive.

Her operation is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but we cannot afford it. We urgently need $1,200.

Every minute we lose is a minute she may not have.

I don't know who will read this. I only know that I am asking with all my heart.

Your donation today, no matter how small, could help save her life. Please don't wait, she may not have another chance.

All we hope for is a tent designed to withstand the summer heat—a shelter with proper insulation and the basic necessities that would allow our family to live with dignity and safety.

We need $1,200 to build and equip a tent that can protect us from the extreme temperatures. While this amount may seem small, it would make a life-changing difference for a family trying to survive in these harsh conditions.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to replacing this unbearable heat with safety, comfort, and hope. Your kindness can help transform our tent from an oven into a true shelter where our children can finally breathe, rest, and feel protected.

💔 My Mother’s Life Depends on Your Kindness

My mother is in Gaza, where every day is a struggle to survive. Some time ago, she was injured when shrapnel from nearby shelling struck her back. She tried to endure the pain for as long as she could, but now her condition has become critical.

She has now been admitted to the hospital, and her condition is very serious. She is suffering from unbearable back pain, extreme exhaustion, and every passing day brings more suffering. Watching my mother fight through this pain while I can do so little is heartbreaking.

The doctors told us that she urgently needs emergency back surgery. They warned us that the operation must be performed within the next 6 days to prevent her condition from deteriorating further.

The cost of this life-saving surgery is $1,000.

Thanks to the incredible kindness of compassionate people, we have raised $292 so far ($188 from our previous appeal and $104 from our latest one). We are deeply grateful for every donation.

However, we still need $708 to give my mother the surgery that could save her from worsening pain and complications.

I am begging you from the bottom of my heart: please don’t scroll past my mother’s suffering. Time is running out, and every hour matters.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to saving her. Even $5 or $10 can make a real difference when many people come together.

If you are unable to donate, please share this post with your friends, family, and community. Your share could reach someone who is able to help save my mother’s life.

Please help us raise the remaining $708 within the next 6 days. My mother’s condition is very serious, and she cannot wait any longer.

Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and for standing with my family during the most difficult time of our lives. ❤️🙏

I write to you with a heavy heart 💔 My children and I are going through very difficult times, and no one is asking about us. My son needs treatment and medication, and he needs milk, diapers, and urgent care. Please don't leave us alone in these difficult circumstances. 😔

We need your help. The situation is extremely difficult. You are our last hope. Food, clothes, milk, rent—everything has become incredibly expensive. My son, Ahmed, needs heart surgery and eye surgery. Please help my son so he can complete his treatment and undergo the operations. In addition to my family in Gaza, my parents, brothers, and sisters are also living in dire circumstances. Please help me for the sake of my family.

My name is Sharif, and I suffer from a back injury. I need intensive treatment and physical therapy to recover. Unfortunately, we lost everything in Gaza; we have no income and cannot work. The situation is extremely difficult.

PLEASE HELP 🙏🏽 EVEN A SIMPLE REPOST AND COMMENTING CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Ahmed is suffering greatly. His condition is worsening because I can't afford his surgery; I keep postponing it. Every post I ignore means an extra hour of pain. Please donate; your help could save his life.

Please, my mother is in the hospital and urgently needs medical treatment and healthy food for her recovery. Please, I don't want to lose her. Even a small donation would help—and please share this post. 🥲

Sharif and his family need URGENT HELP

His son Ahmed is suffering from a heart condition and damage to his eye, his mother's leg is badly injured, and Sharif himself is suffering from an extreme back injury.

They need funds for IMMEDIATE TREATMENT for all of them, but so far they have only raised €122/20,000 of their goal. Barely a fraction of what they need.

Please ACT QUICKLY and help this family get the treatment they need.

I am Engineer Walid Al-Qatrawi. I am 36 years old, a father of three children: Adam, Hala, and Nay. I was born and raised in Gaza, where my family and I have spent our entire lives.

Because of the ongoing conflict, we have been forced to leave our home and relocate multiple times in search of safety. Today, my family and I are displaced in southern Gaza, living in a fragile tent that does not provide the protection and stability my children need.

After repeated displacement, my children have lost the sense of security and normal life they once knew. Every day, we struggle to provide them with a safe and dignified environment. Our tent offers very limited protection from harsh conditions and the challenges of displacement. We urgently need to repair and equip it, build a private bathroom for our family, provide food, clean water, clothing, and essential supplies for our children. If possible, we also hope to secure a safer temporary home where our family can live with more stability.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference. If you cannot donate, sharing our story may help us reach someone who can.
