Hello, my name is Rola, and I am a mother of two children living in the Gaza Strip. Our lives were once filled with love, laughter, and dreams for the future. But everything changed on October 7th, when the war shattered not only our home but our entire world.
That morning, my family and I were enjoying coffee together on the balcony. Out of nowhere, an explosion erupted, shaking our home violently. My husband and son ran for cover, falling over each other in panic, while I stood frozen, still holding my cup, unable to process the chaos around me. When I looked out the window, I saw that our neighbor’s house, once filled with life, had been reduced to rubble. Ambulances rushed to the scene as people scrambled to rescue the injured and pull bodies from the debris.
The bombings didn’t stop. At night, the rain poured heavily, and the cold seeped into our bones. I stayed awake, covering my children to keep them warm and praying for their safety. But safety is an illusion here. Another explosion shattered the night, and our neighbors’ home was destroyed. Their children, who had been sleeping peacefully under a blanket, were found lifeless, their cover soaked in blood.
I looked at my children with tears in my eyes and thought, How can I protect you? We had to flee our home with nothing but the clothes on our backs. We left behind my children’s toys, their clothes, and their beautiful bedroom. Everything we had worked so hard to build is gone.
Our Current Reality Now, we are displaced and living in a nightmare. Food is scarce, and prices are unimaginably high—$10 for a kilo of sugar! The fear of death hangs over us constantly. My children deserve a life of joy and hope, not one defined by fear and loss. Why can’t we live like everyone else—go to work, visit family, and watch our children play in safety? Why do our children have to grow up surrounded by death and destruction?
How You Can Help I am pleading for your kindness to help us rebuild our lives. We need your support to: 💔 Rebuild our home, so my children can feel safe again. 🌍 Evacuate from Gaza, seeking a future where my family can live with dignity. 🩺 Provide urgent medical care for my children, who need protection from this nightmare.
Even the smallest donation can make a difference. If you can’t donate, please share my story. Every share brings us closer to hope.
What Your Support Means Your kindness is not just about helping us survive; it’s about giving us a chance to dream again. To rebuild what we’ve lost and to ensure my children have a future filled with possibilities, not fear.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support means the world to us. Let’s work together to rebuild hope, one step at a time.

🇵🇸 A call from a family looking for safety 📢
We now face daily challenges to survive – things most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams of a constant fight for survival.
💔 Lost stability: The war has left us without work or a steady source of income. 🍞 Basic needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford as prices rise and resources become scarce. 📚 Suspended dreams: Like many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive.
I am sharing our story in the hope that someone will care. Even 10 euros can make a huge difference to us, and if you can't donate, resharing this post can help spread the word.
Your donation and support, no matter how small, will never be forgotten.
Your support is not meant to change our situation completely, but rather to give us a little comfort, a little hope, a way to carry on. We are not asking for much, and we understand that you cannot donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as donating.
Thank you for reading this article so far. It is so great for us to know that someone is listening to us. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.
