I am Raneen Saqr, 24 years old, from Gaza…My heart has no room left for new pain, and my eyes have shed every tear from the intensity of what I have witnessed.
I lived in a small house, but it was my world… a warm home, filled with laughter, safety, and the simple music of everyday life.We dreamed, we planned, we laughed… we lived like any family longing for a new beginning.
But on October 7th, war came like a black wall that collapsed upon my entire life.In a single moment… my home crumbled, my family was scattered, safety vanished, and all my beautiful memories turned to ash beneath the rubble.
I now wake to the sound of fear and fall asleep to the sound of loss.Nothing is the same anymore… everything has changed, everything has broken.And amidst this external devastation… my insides were silently crumbling.
I suffer from blood clots, a dangerous bleeding disorder, and a severe calcium deficiency. Illnesses are draining my body of its strength, my heart of its patience, and my dream of motherhood of its last breath.
I have lost my children three times… Three hearts that beat within me, gone before they were born… They died because I couldn't get the treatment that could have saved them.
They died because war takes everything… even what is yet to be created.
Each miscarriage was like another house falling inside me, another dream collapsing, a part of me dying.And what's even more painful… is that I lived through this loss alone, scared, exhausted, helpless.
Today my body can no longer bear the pain… My health is deteriorating, my heart is weakening, and my pain is growing.I live between my fear of death and my greater fear of losing the chance to become a mother again.I appeal to those with compassionate hearts… I appeal to everyone who hears my story…
I need treatment, I need to be saved, I need to keep my last dream.
Every bit of help—no matter how small—could save my body from pain… and might save my unborn child from the same fate.
My name is Ale Peña Gorbe, and I am raising funds for my Palestinian friend Raneen. This is her story, in her words:
Please help me, share my story, pray for me… for only God knows the extent of my suffering.
