Every explosion steals a little more of my daughter's childhood.
Today she ran into our tent, terrified by the bombing outside. She threw herself into my arms and said, "I'm scared something will happen to you and Dad."
No child should have to live with this fear. Children should feel safe, not worry about losing their parents.
Please keep my family in your thoughts, and if you can, support us and share our story. Every act of kindness gives us a little hope. 💔🙏

This fundraiser was created by Veronica Salber to support her friend Ahmad, a devoted father of three young children from Gaza.The war took everything from Ahmad. His home was destroyed, his car was lost, and with it, the only source of income that supported his family. Today, Ahmad, his wife, and their three children are living in a torn tent, struggling every day to find food, clean water, and other basic necessities.
Our goal is to raise $6,000 to help Ahmad start a small business so he can rebuild his life and provide for his family with dignity instead of relying on emergency aid.
Until that dream becomes reality, the family needs around $100 every day to cover essential expenses, including food, clean water, diapers, and other basic needs for the children.
Every donation, no matter the amount, brings Ahmad's family one step closer to stability, hope, and a new beginning. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with others.
Thank you for standing with Ahmad and his family during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness gives them hope for a brighter future. ❤️

My name is Hussam. I am a father, a husband… and I am trying to keep my family alive. 💔
Before the war, we lived a simple, peaceful life in Gaza. My wife and I were raising our six children—four boys, one girl, and our baby daughter who had not yet turned one. Our home was small, but it was full of laughter, warmth, and love. 🏡❤️
Then, in a single moment, everything was gone.
Airstrikes destroyed our home. The walls that once protected my children turned into rubble. I still remember the sound… the fear in their eyes… the way they held onto me as we ran for our lives. I couldn’t take anything with me—only my family. 😢💥
Now, we live in a fragile tent in a refugee camp. ⛺
The cold does not wait. The wind enters from every side. At night, my children cannot sleep—not because of noise, but because of hunger. My baby daughter cries in my arms, and I have nothing to give her. No milk. No warmth. Only empty hands and a broken heart. 🥶👶💔
As a father, this is the deepest pain—to see your children suffer and feel helpless.
Every day is a battle. I search for food. I try to keep our tent standing. I try to protect my children from sickness, fear, and despair. I am doing everything I can… but it is not enough. 😔
I need your help.
I want to be honest with you: during my last fundraising campaign, I was scammed. At a time when we had nothing, we lost even more. It broke me—but I refused to give up on my children. ⚠️💔
Now, I have created a new campaign with the help of a trusted friend, so your support can safely reach my family. I am asking you from my heart—please give us another chance. 🤝
Your help can save my children. 🙏
Even a small donation can mean: 🍞 Food for my hungry children
🍼 Milk for my baby daughter
💊 Medicine when we are sick
🧣 Blankets to survive the cold nights
Please, my friends… do not turn away.
If you cannot donate, please share my story. Your share could reach someone who can help save my family. 📢
Hussam is a father, a husband and a survivor.
From a father who is trying not to lose everything
A month ago, Mohammed died from malnutrition, and now Ahmed has died for the same reason. It's heartbreaking that they didn't receive any donations. They died of hunger, and no one donated to them. They were orphans, and I was caring for them. I created a GoFundMe page for them, but unfortunately, they haven't received any donations in a while.
Majd is one of my brother's only remaining children. I don't want him to die. He has no one but me. His father and mother died in the war, and sadly, he's all alone now. Majd is four years old and suffers from a skin disease. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to treat him. After his brothers died, his body has changed, and he's suffering from a skin disease that's spreading rapidly. Please donate before I lose my only nephew. I don't want him to die too. I'm tired of watching my brother's children die one after another.
so. not to doxx myself (i've talked about this here before though) but i live in Kansas. and my license was just revoked very suddenly and immediately because i'm trans and had changed my gender marker.
so now i cannot legally drive or vote until/unless i let them force me to carry around a card that misgenders me and outs me as trans, because i certainly don't look female anymore.
so hey if you have the means and want to help with any of this, please consider donating to the ACLU of Kansas because they are at least going to try to do something to push back against this, and i'm such a panicky wreck that the only thing i can do to get through my immediate gut reaction to having my license revoked tonight (i cannot stress enough that i received the letter today saying that my license is no longer valid tomorrow) is focus on the fact that there's at least one entity trying to protect me and my fellow trans kansans.
