Palestina Forever

Do I even have the right to dream?

I dreamed of welcoming this year in a home that protects us, not in a fragile tent that shakes with every wind and lets the cold creep into our nights.

I dreamed that my children could sleep without fear, and wake up to the smell of bread — not the sound of bombing.

My wish was simple.

A small home. A safe roof. Warmth that feels like the homes we lost.

I wished I could vaccinate my children, protect their health, and shield them from illness the same way I try to shield them from war.

But the reality is heavier than my strength, and the war has taken away our choices and our time.

In this new year, I am not asking for the impossible.

I am asking for a kind hand, a compassionate heart, and help that can restore a piece of our humanity.

Maybe my wishes will come true.

Maybe my children will grow up remembering that someone stood by them in their darkest days.

We are still dreaming, despite everything.

And we still believe that kindness has not disappeared.🙏

Every night, I listen to my children shiver under thin blankets, and I hold them close, trying to give them some warmth… but the cold is stronger than all of us.

Since we lost our home, this worn-out tent is all we have.

The wind strikes it every night as if trying to tear away what little is left of our lives.

My husband grows weaker day by day, and I have nothing but a heart that breaks for all of them.

We desperately need help—blankets, food, a better tent… anything that can protect my children from this merciless winter.

Your kindness could be the reason they sleep tonight feeling warm and safe.

Please… don’t leave us alone in this cold. 🤍❄️

I’m Inge Kassab, a 22-year-old dental student from Al-Azhar University in Gaza. My university was completely destroyed in the war, and I lost all my dental tools and the chance to continue my clinical training. Despite everything, I’m trying to return to my studies and finish the remaining hours to graduate.

I urgently need financial support to buy new medical instruments, prepare for my return to university, cover transportation costs, and purchase the required books.

Your help will also support my family with basic living needs during this difficult time.

Please help me rebuild my path and put (Dr.) before my name someday.
