Your donations help people facing starvation and frequent bombings every day afford food, water, and other basic needs – it is literally lifesaving!! Please share this fundraiser and donate if you are able to! Every little bit helps!

Today was one of those days that carve their weight deep into your chest. I faced something both humiliating and painfully heavy. It started with a phone call, the kind no parent wants to receive. The school was summoning me as a guardian for my son, Adam. I went immediately, heart pounding, trying to stay composed. Inside the principal’s office, I was met with stern eyes and little softness. She told me it was unacceptable to send Adam to school with a meal of rice. He hadn’t eaten it properly, she said. Some spilled on the kindergarten floor, causing what she called a "disaster." Worse yet, the other children laughed at him... said they were disgusted by what happened. 😔

We usually send him with a small sandwich, just a quarter of a pita. But yesterday, I couldn’t find even a single kilo of flour. All we had left was a bit of rice. So we cooked what little we had, just plain white rice, hoping he could have something, anything, to eat that morning. My wife and I… we didn’t eat at all. After the principal’s lecture and the long walk home, something inside me quietly broke. We’re now thinking about keeping Adam home. The school is far, the journey is exhausting, and it only makes his hunger worse.

An estimated 71,000 children and over 17,000 mothers urgently require treatment for acute malnutrition, which is now widespread across the entire Strip. Medical supplies remain critically low, and aid organizations warn of rising child mortality due to starvation and disease. Source: WHO, UNICEF

Prices are astronomical: the cost of one kilo of flour has exceeded $40, and the daily expenses for a basic family have surpassed $300.

We appeal to your conscience: please donate to save our families from hunger and death. We urgently need food, water, and basic necessities for survival. Don’t let our children die of starvation our campaign is verified by @/Gazavetters #644.

—A message from Gaza—

> "We’re not asking for luxury… just the right to live."

Every day, we try to be strong. But deep down, we’re exhausted.

We’re not okay. We’re just surviving, barely holding on.

I’m Hani from Gaza, and this is not easy to write.

I created this donation campaign because we’ve lost everything. No food. No medicine. No safety.

💔 Families are sleeping hungry.

💔 Children are growing up in fear.

💔 We are running out of hope.

But maybe… YOU can bring some back.

"You have a voice that matters. Your presence makes a real difference… Just one share from you could save a life and open a door of hope. Please don’t hold back from those waiting for your support."❤️❤️❤️

We’ve reached 33% of our goal thanks to your kind hearts — but the journey is not over yet… Every donation, no matter how small, brings real hope to my family in Gaza.

💔 Our home is destroyed, life has stopped, but hope is still alive.

🎯 Every share and every contribution brings us closer to the finish line.

The situation in Gaza is unbearable... The bombing never stops, and death is lurking around every corner. There is no water, no electricity, no food, and no safety. What happened recently at Al-Baqa Café is only a glimpse of the hell we live in every day. People are being killed while sitting and drinking coffee, and homes are being bombed without warning.

I appeal to you as a human being going through the hardest days of my life: my family and I are in real danger. We’ve lost our source of income and are nearly homeless. We survive on a little bread, and my family goes to sleep afraid every night.

it's impossible not to feel the same giddy joy amal (@/amal-ashour-now2) has about being a new mum again, reading those messages

but with it, amal's terrified, because her life isn't even remotely the same as the one it was during her first pregnancy. the beautiful life amal & moatasem created for their new family, turned into nothing but a waking nightmare since oct. 2023. little maryam, who's not even 3, has known a life of bullets and bombs, tents and endless hunger, longer than she's known the life of security and calm her parents provided her with for the first 9 months of her life. and at a time when amal needs to be stress-free, well rested, and to have access to proper nutrition, she's been deprived of all three. now, she's also facing the daunting task of having to start over her campaign (read more about why here).

but this is one burden she doesn't have to face alone—she has all of us. i implore you, please donate any amount you're able to give, to help amal & her family survive their current situation. any amount, no matter how small, will be a literal lifeline for the four of them

They don't care if you're a child.

They don't care if you're running for food.

They don't care if you're standing in your own home.

We count bodies. You scroll past.

Please share and donate.

I’ve written and shared our suffering many times. Some of you have supported us and offered help—others have responded with hate and cruelty. But I keep writing, because hope is still alive.

Please, if there’s anything you can do—donate, share, or even just repost—do it. We’re not asking for much. Just what keeps a human being alive.

All I want is a simple life: clean water, electricity, food, and safety. To sleep without the fear of bombs. To live like any other human being.

Your donation today could mean a meal, medicine, or a way to survive. We’re desperately waiting for the crossing to open, hoping it’ll be our way out of this nightmare.

If you’re still reading this—thank you, truly. Please follow me, share this post, and donate if you can.

But the truth? The aggression has destroyed Gaza from north to south. Gaza today isn't a city; Gaza today is a life of remnants. Gaza no longer has "living"... it has "survival attempts." It has become rubble. The streets have become cemeteries. Electricity, water, internet... have become memories.

And luxuries are missing. Hospitals? Paralyzed. Schools? Turned into temporary shelters, or destroyed. Electricity?

Since the first days of the war, it's been cut off. A very small group has solar energy, and it's become a resource for the people... but at a price. Can you imagine? Your phone battery is dead? You have to pay 2 shekels to fill it up. Power bank? 3 shekels.

A large battery?

7 shekels. Everything has a price, even charging, even electricity. And the prices? Crazy and outrageous!

Internet?

There's no home internet. Temporary cards are sold by people who have electricity and internet. The price of a card ranges from 1 to 5 shekels ($0.50 to $1.50), depending on the time and speed. And the cost of living? A kilo of tomatoes = 30 shekels ($9) A kilo of cucumbers = 25 shekels ($7) A kilo of potatoes = 50 shekels ($13 – if they even exist) A kilo of eggplant = 30 shekels ($8) A single cigarette? 50 to 120 shekels ($13-$32!) A loaf of bread? Almost nonexistent, and flour is running out. Some people have resorted to smoking ground herbs,They added nicotine, carbon, sugar, and sometimes pesticides and toxic substances... to give it flavor! So, how do people live? Some have nothing. Some cook over wood. Some eat one meal a day or less. Some grow parsley or lettuce, or whatever they want to eat to survive. Some make soup with water and onions... And some don't eat at all. No food, no gas, not enough flour. Prices are skyrocketing, and people don't have anything. A normal kilo of vegetables has become more expensive than in European cities. And a single cigarette is more expensive than a large meal for an entire family!

Water?

Contaminated, salty, and undrinkable. People filter it using primitive methods, boil it, or drink it while it's contaminated because "there's no alternative." Gas? It's been cut off for more than a month and a half. People cook over wood, charcoal, or anything that could catch fire. Health situation? There aren't enough medicines, no equipped hospitals, no medical equipment, and no sufficient staff. People are getting sick... and silently waiting for death.

How are people coping?

People with relatives abroad are transferring money.

Simple. Some people work in small shops, or sell anything they can. Some charge batteries for people in exchange. And others wait for help from a benefactor.

And money transfers?

Imagine someone sending you $500... You actually only receive $250. Why?

So you can take a money transfer from the office and transfer it to a bank account, not receive 20% cash. When you receive cash, they take another 30%. That means half the money transfer is gone! Theft? Unfortunately, it's becoming a thing. People who have been displaced from their homes, there are people who enter and loot everything...

Although everyone is hurt and broken, the war has changed everything. And displacement? The occupation drops leaflets from planes: "Leave your area immediately, it has become a danger zone." Imagine a leaflet being dropped from a plane, ordering you to leave your home immediately... So you get up, gather a few things, and leave. You leave your home, your memories, the scent of your children...and walk into a tent. A small tent...that doesn't protect you from bombing, the cold, the heat, or the fear. And you don't know if or when you'll return, or if you'll ever find your home again.People are either displaced, broken, hungry, or oppressed.People in Gaza... there's no longer any difference between rich and poor, doctor or vendor. Everyone is hurting, everyone is in need. There's no such thing as "living." There's something called "steadfast." Even steadfastness is slowly being shattered.Help us make our voices heard. Help us break the silence. Gaza is not a number... Gaza is souls, children, mothers, dreams... bleeding. The pain must come out of Gaza... the world must listen.

funding was given recently, but there were still only 4 fundings within less than a month. it has still STAGNATED COMPLETELY and is CRITICALLY LOW on funds!

please be reminded that Mohammed and Mona had to restart with a new fundraiser on top of not receiving anything for long due to issues with the old fundraiser. a faster rate is needed!
