$491 is all that stands between my sister and the medicine that could keep her alive. Her condition has become terrifyingly worse, and every moment in the ICU feels like we are waiting to lose her. I cannot describe the pain of watching my sister suffer, weak and exhausted after her surgery, while we are unable to afford the treatment she desperately needs to survive.💔

I begged for help everywhere until my heart and soul became exhausted. I cried, pleaded, reposted, and hoped someone would care enough to save her, but the donations barely come while my sister is slowly fading in front of my eyes. Please, don’t let her die because we are poor and helpless. Imagine if it was your sister fighting between life and death while you stood there unable to save her.😔

We urgently need the remaining $491 before it becomes too late. Even the smallest donation could help save my sister’s life and stop this nightmare from taking her away from us forever.🙏😔💔

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.
