"💔 Tents are no longer just shelters; they have become overcrowded spaces where people struggle to survive each day. Cramped conditions, almost no personal space, and poor sanitation make life even harsher. Amid the heat, dust, and unbearable odors, people do their best to preserve their dignity, but the suffering is impossible to hide. What we need is not sympathy, but a life worthy of human beings."

12.07.2026 – Hello, I'm writing to ask for your support for my friend @naeemaemad – if you can, please make a donation, even a small one 🙏🏽

It's been a while without new donations 🆘

• the last donation on GoFundMe was 12 days ago ⚠️

• the last donation on Chuffed was 8 days ago ⚠️

Reminder: as the campaign manager for Chuffed won’t be available for a while, please make your donations on GoFundMe if you can 🙏🏽

"After losing our home and everything we owned, all we have left is hope in your kindness and support❤️‍."

⚠️ Important ⚠️

As the campaign manager for Chuffed won't be available for a while, please make your donations on GoFundMe 🙏🏽

So Naeema's family can still get support – it's a different campaign manager on GoFundMe.

Remember that every donation is precious.

Here, Naeema sent me a picture of an insecticide that she bought for $10.

It seems trivial for us but when you've been living in a tent for 3 years, every bit of help to improve the conditions is welcome.

Life in tents is very harsh because of the heat in summer (and cold in winter), fleas, insects and even rodents sometimes.

Hi everyone! Many of us are currently suffering through the heatwave... and my thoughts are especially with the family of my friend Naeema, in Gaza.

Naeema, her parents, her four brothers, and her little sister endure scorching temperatures inside their tent. It is an exhausting situation that compounds their already extremely difficult living conditions.

Many people can find distractions—watching the World Cup, going to concerts or the beach, or simply enjoying their summer. Unfortunately, that is not the case for Naeema’s family, who have been living under occupation for three years.

So, I am asking you to share some comfort and provide tangible support for their family of eight.

You can do so by making a donation to either of the two fundraising campaigns.

Every gesture counts—not just financially (to buy food, fuel for a fire, drinking water, etc.), but because every donation serves as tangible proof that their family still exists and has not been forgotten. It offers moral and emotional support; it is a way to keep the flame of hope alive.

Please consider making a contribution via either Chuffed (last donation was 4 days ago!) or GoFundMe (last donation was 7 days ago!!).

"☀️⛺️Unbearable heat, fragile tents, and a childhood drained a little more each day. How painful it is for children to grow up surrounded by such suffering.💔"

From @naeemaemad:

"I stand strong in this photo... but inside me lies an entire city of sorrow. The war stole our homes, our peace, and days that will never return. Yet we continue to carry weary hearts, smiling only so the world cannot see the depth of the brokenness we live with. 💔"

"🤍 Praise be to God for the blessing of having kind-hearted people like you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who donated to support us, and to everyone who remembered my birthday with a message, a prayer, or kind words. During these difficult times, your kindness meant more than you can imagine. You reminded me that goodness and compassion still exist, even in the hardest moments. To everyone who stood by us, brought a smile to our faces, or kept us in their prayers—thank you. Your generosity, love, and support will never be forgotten. May God bless you, reward you abundantly for every act of kindness, and fill your lives with health, happiness, and peace. Your compassion will always remain in our hearts. 🤍🌿"

Tomorrow is Naeema's birthday, she will be 23 🎉

I wish things were different for my dear friend and that she can celebrate her birthday and think of her future peacefully.💔

Please leave her a lovely message 💜

And please make a donation if you can 💜

"💔 In the tents, our suffering doesn't end with the heat and hunger. At night, worms and insects crawl into our sleeping area, frightening our children and stealing their sense of safety. A peaceful night's sleep has become a distant dream. All we hope for is a safe place where our children can rest without fear. ⛺🐛"

"💔 In Gaza, the roads no longer lead to homes—they lead to rubble. We walk through the ruins, making our way along streets devastated by destruction, where even a short journey has become a difficult struggle."

📷 & words by @naeemaemad:

"💔 The war did not only take away our homes—it also stole even the simplest comforts of life. In the tents, fleas attack us day and night, biting our children's bodies and keeping them awake, while we stand helpless, unable to protect them. We try to remain patient, but our suffering grows with each passing day. We are not asking for luxury—only for a safe, clean place where we can live with dignity. 🥀⛺"

Naeema wrote to me that she is waiting for her turn to get cooking gas.

It costs $80 and she is asking for your help.

Previously her family had to burn clothes just to cook food...

She wrote:

"I am not able to bear this burden and exhaust myself alone."

I'm writing to support my friend @naeemaemad:

Surviving is not easy when you live under occupation.

Naeema's family bought a carton of 30 eggs for $15.

But the eggs look damaged and smell bad.

Please give some relief to their family and help them buy a good meal 💜

Make a donation – even a small amount brings hope and better living conditions 💜

"💔⛺ Every night in the tent reminds us of everything we have lost. No safety, no comfort, and no normal life. We try to stay strong for our children, while our hearts are heavy with suffering. We are not asking for much—just a simple life that has become a distant dream."
