In the heart of Gaza, where the echoes of war are a constant reminder of lost lives and shattered dreams, my family and I are fighting a battle for survival. My name is Mohamed, and like countless others here, my life has been turned upside down. The home I once knew, filled with laughter and memories, is now a pile of rubble. My past, present, and dreams for the future have all been crushed by the relentless conflict that surrounds us.
But amidst this chaos and devastation, there is one thing I haven't lost: my family. My parents, siblings, and I have somehow managed to survive the bombings and destruction. But survival is not living. We live each day in fear, wondering if it will be our last. We lack basic necessitiesβfood, water, medicine, and the simple, yet essential, sense of security. Every moment feels like a desperate fight for life.
After our home was targeted and my father was injured
I have started a GoFundMe campaign in the hope of raising funds to support my familyβs immediate needs and, ultimately, to help us escape this cycle of violence and despair. With your generous donations, I hope to provide my family with:
Basic Essentials: Food, clean water, and medical supplies to help us survive day-to-day.
Rebuilding Efforts: Helping us secure temporary shelter and essentials to rebuild our lives.
Evacuation Funds: The most urgent need is to find a safe place away from the constant threat of death and destruction.
Your donation, no matter how small, will not just be a monetary contributionβit will be a lifeline, a beacon of hope amidst the darkness. By supporting this campaign, you are helping to save lives, restore dignity, and offer a glimmer of hope for a future that, right now, seems almost impossible.
If you cannot donate, you can still make a difference. Sharing this blog post and the GoFundMe campaign link with your friends, family, and social networks can spread the word and inspire others to contribute.
I know that these are challenging times for everyone, but I believe that kindness knows no borders. Every bit of help counts and brings us one step closer to safety and peace. For my family and me, your support is the difference between life and death, hope and despair.
Please join me in this fight for survival. With your help, we can overcome this tragedy and rebuild our lives, even if itβs one small step at a time.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. β¨β€οΈ

Hello, my name is Jaber Mohammad Al-Dahdouh. Iβm 13 years old, and Iβm sharing my story of how war has taken everything from my family and me ππ.
I grew up in northern Gaza, where we lived a life of comfort and love ππ , all thanks to my mother, Maysaa β€οΈ, who has a heart condition π, and my father, who worked hard to provide a bright future for us ππ¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦. My siblingsβShabaan, Hanan, Ahmed, and my youngest sister Ameera, our little darling π§πβwere my closest friends, and we shared dreams π, laughter π, and plans for a life full of hope π β¨.
I was a student π at the Rosary Sisters School, part of the Union of Churches. My school meant so much to me; it was more than a building π«. It was my second home π‘, a place where I felt safe and happy ππ, surrounded by friends and childhood laughter π¦π§π«.
But in a single moment, our lives were turned upside down ππ’. The war destroyed our home π π₯ and my beloved school π«π, and we were forced to flee south under heavy bombing π£π₯π¨. We took refuge in the Nuseirat area, hoping to find safety π€². Yet even there, we were not spared; fighter jets bombed βοΈπ₯ the very place where we had sought shelter. I witnessed family members being taken from us in that attack ποΈπ.
I share my story today as a child who has lost almost everything: my home π π, my school π«πͺοΈ, family members π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ποΈ, and even my dreams π . I am reaching out not only to share the pain π but to search for a glimmer of hope π to help rebuild our lives.
I humbly ask for your support π€²π to help me and my family through this tragedy ποΈ. My mother, Maysaa, is unwell with a heart condition π, and my remaining siblings and I need your support to rebuild from the devastation ππ. Your donations could be the only chance to restore a part of our hope π―οΈπ and enable me to build a new future from the rubble π‘β¨.
Thank you for your kindness and support β€οΈππ·.
I'm Amal, a mother of three children, living under the weight of the genocide taking place in Gaza. π
The Israeli occupation forces launched drone strikes on my husband, Fayez, and my son, Mohammad.
my husband was hit in the head, while my son Mohammad was wounded in his legs.
Although my husband's condition has stabilized, my son is still suffering immensely and urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.
So I started a fundraising campaign to save my son before he dies.
I lost most of my family. I'm afraid to lose my son too π₯Ί .
I need your help please donate and share, evry contribution, no matter how small, brings us hope in these dark times.
Mohammed deserves to live a happy and healthy life, just like every other child on this earth.
So I humbly ask you to donate even a little or at least reblog this appeal.

Hi dear donors ! β€οΈ
I would like to extend my thank and gratitude for the support you have been offering over the last eleven months. β€οΈβΊοΈ
My family and I have been suffering and going through the hardest days we have ever experienced in our life . Things are very hard to get and and sometimes unattainable.ππ
Our sufferings and hardship started on the first days of the war when all our possessions were completely destroyed and burned. We have become displaced and homeless , finding ourselves in a small tent in streets with no means of life. We lack every single necessary thing of life; food, water, hygiene essentials, and other necessities have become scarce and rare.
A photo taken to show how incredibly harsh our life has become after the war. We are struggling and facing lots of barriers to obtain the simplest necessities for living. Everything single thing is a complete story.
You can't imagine what difficulties we have been going through all these days of war. No cooking gas , nor cooking tools exist . We struggle to prepare a small meal of food.
No bakeries are available. Everything seems a miracle and unbelievable.π The war has stolen our joy and smile, leaving us busy thinking only of staying safe and alive. Our future has gone with the wind and our kids lost their dreams and ambitions.
This is a part of burying the dead. We also face some problems in the process of buying our dead people as no place is there for the family. Tombs aren't enough for the number of people living on a small spot of land.
A photo taken for the morning queue of filling our gallons with drink water. We wait hours to get some water for drink. Our life is full of tragedy and sadness.

"Trapped Dreams"
https://gofund.me/409f63bb
In a small corner of Gaza, where the lights fade and darkness falls, Mahmoud sat alone, thinking. He was a young man like any other, dreaming of a better future, a safe home, and a job that would provide him and his family with a decent life. But the dream turned into a nightmare, and life into a daily struggle for survival.
Mahmoud's family, which includes 43 members, lived under the burden of siege and war. They lost their homes, and watched their dreams fade before their eyes. Every day was a new challenge, searching for a living amidst the lack of water and electricity, and the fear of bombing that could come at any moment.
"I saw hope in the eyes of my children, but the siege was taking it away from them little by little," Mahmoud says sadly. "They wanted to play in the streets, and go to school, but all that surrounded them was destruction and fear."
Mahmoud's dream now is simple, to get his family out of this hell, and to start a new life in a safe place. But the costs of migration are high, and far beyond their means.
Noha is a story of courage and determination. She reminds us that disability is not a barrier, and that anything is possible if you are determined enough.
βWe need your help,β Mahmoud says, his voice trembling. βWe need a chance to build a better future for our children.β
