My name is Obaida, and I am writing on behalf of my 8-year-old brother, Mohamed. A few days ago, he was injured in his foot by shrapnel that landed near the tent where we are sheltering. Although he received emergency treatment, the emotional trauma has been even harder than the physical injury. He is terrified by the constant shelling and refuses to return to the tent. He urgently needs psychological care, but it is unavailable to him in Gaza.
Mohamed has never had the chance to attend kindergarten or school. Instead of enjoying a normal childhood, he has grown up surrounded by war, displacement, and fear. Every day he lives near an area repeatedly exposed to shelling, and every explosion leaves him more frightened.
Our family lost our home completely, and my father's training center was destroyed. Since then, we have been living in a tent after losing everything we once had. My siblings, Farah, who is 16, Aya, who is 14, Mohamed, who is 8, and Hamoud, who is 7, are all children who deserve safety, education, and the chance to grow up in peace. I also suffer from chronic asthma, which has become increasingly difficult to manage because of the dust, smoke, and lack of medical care.
We are asking for your help to evacuate our family to safety so Mohamed can receive the medical treatment and psychological care he urgently needs, and so all of our children can finally live without fear. Every donation or share brings us one step closer to hope.
My bf and I are trying to pull together money for first and last on an apartment as soon as we possibly can
Both of us are in less than ideal situations, with me living precariously with family and him having no fixed place to live
We have a place lined up, but we need to pay first and last month's rent in order to secure it, and we need to do so as fast as possible
If anyone can help out, we take donations over PayPal or e-transfer (you can DM for e-transfer info)
I do writing commissions on Ko-fi, where you can also donate
We have to put together a total of 3200 CAD so obviously this is pretty stressful, and any and all help would be much appreciated!
I'm going to update this post with both the amount of any donations we receive, and the amounts of our paychecks when we get them, so the total raised will reflect the complete amount of money that we have set aside as opposed to only showing what's been donated (to avoid any confusion). I also applied for a government assistance program for first and last, which would take care of about 1000-1600 CAD, so I'll include that if I am able to get it
If anyone can help, we're really trying to pay this back as soon as we possibly can, but keeping up with rent at the same time is making it difficult to do so, and I'm back in college so I'm working less shifts
We're more than two-thirds of the way to paying this off, but unfortunately, donations have dried up. Even just a little bit of help means a lot to us, especially seeing as the amount owed has already risen by 150 CAD due to the time it's taking us to pay this off
I'm barely getting enough shifts to cover rent, so we haven't been able to make payments on the debt lately
Please help if you're able to, it really does make a huge difference to us! ❤️
as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.
In a place where children no longer know what safety feels like, a mother is trying to keep her children alive despite everything 💔
I don’t know how I am still holding on...
My name is Najah, and I am a mother of six children, including newborn twins 👶👶 who need urgent care every single moment.
We are living through extremely difficult days filled with fear, hunger, and the lack of basic necessities 🥺🍞
Sometimes my children go to sleep without enough food, and I stand helpless before their tears because I cannot provide milk, diapers, or medicine for them.
My newborn twins are still so fragile, and their tiny bodies need constant nutrition and care 🍼💔
But our situation has become far beyond my ability to handle, while my other children face hunger, cold, and fear every day.
For many days, we have not received any donations or help, and our situation keeps getting worse with every passing hour.
I try to stay strong for my children, but my heart breaks every night when I see them suffering and I have nothing to protect them with.
Every second now is precious ⏳
Every act of kindness could be the reason my children survive 🙏
I am not asking for the impossible — only for a chance for my children to live safely, stay together, and have hope for another tomorrow.
Please, from the bottom of my heart, do not ignore our suffering 💔
Any small donation could help me buy milk, diapers, food, and medicine for my children.
Please donate $25, $50, $100, or any amount you can give 🤲
Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a real difference in my children’s lives.
And if you cannot donate, please share our story everywhere you can 📢
Your compassion may reach someone who can save my children before it is too late.
I beg you — stop here, donate, share, and choose kindness before this silence becomes another tragedy for my family.
Thank you to everyone who listened to our pain 🌸
Your kindness today could give my children another chance at life and safety.
