Help a Family of 8 Survive in a Tent in Gaza
My name is Wissam Madi. Alongside my husband, we are the proud parents of six wonderful children. We once had a beautiful life in our home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. It was more than just a house; it was the center of our universe, a place filled with our children's laughter, our shared dreams, and a lifetime of memories. Then, the war took everything from us. Our home was completely destroyed, reduced to rubble. In a single moment, we lost not only our shelter but every single possession we owned. We escaped with only the clothes on our backs. We have nothing left. Today, my husband, our six children, and I live in a small, cramped tent in Khan Younis. This is our reality now. This thin sheet of fabric is all that separates our family from the street. It offers no real protection from the biting cold of the night or the intense heat of the day. As parents, our greatest pain is watching our children suffer and seeing the immense burden on my husband as he struggles daily to find our next meal. We are not asking to rebuild our home; that dream feels impossible right now. We are simply asking for your help to survive. Your donation will be used immediately for our most critical needs: Food and Clean Water: To provide essential nutrition for our children and ensure they have safe water to drink. Rent for the Land Under Our Tent: To secure this small patch of ground so we don’t lose even this last resort of shelter and end up completely exposed. Every single contribution, no matter the size, is a lifeline. It is a message of hope that helps us endure this nightmare. You are our best hope for survival. Thank you for your compassion. May you and your loved ones always be safe.

Please Help Me to Live

Emergency

Please Help Me to Live
My name is Yaser. I am an Iraqi LGBTQ+ refugee, now living alone in Beirut, Lebanon. I escaped from a life that had become unbearable — a life filled with fear, shame, and violence just because of who I am. My family forced me to marry a girl to hide the truth about me. My father, a military officer who always carried a gun, beat me many times and threatened to kill me when he found out who I really was. For years, I lived in silence and fear, pretending to be someone I’m not — trapped inside a life that was never mine. When the threats became too real, I had no choice but to flee. Lebanon was the only country I could enter without a visa, so I escaped here in desperation — leaving everything behind: my home, my belongings, my friends, and a part of myself. Now I live in a small hotel room, completely alone. I eat one meal a day to save the little money I have left. Some nights I sleep hungry, and some nights I can’t sleep at all. I take my medication (Paxil) for my mental health, but even that is becoming too expensive. I feel my strength fading each day. I have reached out to many organizations and to UNHCR, but the process takes time. Time that I no longer have. I am running out of money, running out of energy, and sometimes… running out of hope. Every day, I wake up afraid — afraid of being recognized, of being found, of being forgotten. I change hotels often, trying to stay safe. I have no one beside me, no family, no friends, only silence and fear. All I want is safety — a place where I can live without hiding, without fear, where I can simply exist as myself. If you are reading this, please, I beg you — stand with me. Your compassion, your kindness, could be the reason I survive. It could be the small light that keeps my hope alive. ❤️

stem cell transplantation for the child Rimal
هذه الطفلة البريئة تصارع اليوم بين الحياة والموت… هي بحاجة ماسة لعملية دقيقة تُسمّى زرع خلايا جذعية، لكن أهلها المنهكين لا يملكون القدرة على تأمين تكلفتها الباهظة. 💔 لقد فقدوا طفلًا من قبل بنفس المرض، عجزوا عن علاجه لأن الظروف المادية كانت أقوى منهم… رحل صغيرهم بين أيديهم، وها هي طفلتهم الثانية تواجه المصير نفسه إن لم تمتد لها يد العون بسرعة. تكلفة العملية تبلغ 68,000$، لم يُجمع منها سوى 6,500$، وما زال ينقص 61,500$… كل دقيقة تمر هي خطر على حياتها. نناشدكم من أعماق قلوبنا أن تقفوا إلى جانبها، أن تمدوا يد المساعدة بما تستطيعون، فربما يكون تبرعكم سببًا في إنقاذ روح صغيرة من الموت، وابتسامة تبقى حيّة بدل أن تنطفئ إلى الأبد. This innocent little girl is now fighting between life and death… She is in desperate need of a delicate procedure called stem cell transplant, but her exhausted parents simply cannot afford the overwhelming cost. 💔 They have already lost a child to the very same illness — unable to save him because poverty stood in their way… He slipped away in their arms, and now their daughter faces the same tragic fate unless help arrives soon. The total cost of the operation is $68,000. Only $6,500 has been raised so far, leaving a remaining $61,500… Every minute that passes puts her fragile life in greater danger. We beg you from the depths of our hearts to stand by her, to extend a helping hand with whatever you can. Your contribution may be the reason a little soul is saved from death, a smile kept alive instead of fading forever.

Help Nour Return Home Safely With Her Cats

Emergency

Help Nour Return Home Safely With Her Cats
Hi, I’m sharing this on behalf of my dear friend Nour. Nour is one of the kindest, most selfless people I know. She has always cared for others — her father, her family, even her cats — often putting their needs above her own. But right now, she is in a place no one should ever be: struggling physically, emotionally, and financially, and she cannot get through this alone. She recently lost her job in Qatar because of an abusive manager. On top of that, she lives with multiple sclerosis (MS) and autism. Her recent MS relapse left her physically weak, and finding work while dealing with her health is nearly impossible. Due to Qatar’s Labor Laws, her company will not pay her end-of-service or notice period settlement until her notice period ends, leaving her for two months without income, without food, and without a guaranteed place to live. Her roommate is leaving soon, which will make her homeless. While she was in Lebanon, her roommate even threw away one of her beloved cats, Milky 💔, and she is still searching for him. Her remaining cat, Maxie has been her comfort and family through all of this. What Nour Needs Support For: We are asking for $6,000 (around 21,500 QAR) to cover her bare minimum needs over the next two months: 1- Credit card debt (≈10,000 QAR / $2,750): Originally used for her late father’s medical care and later for her own medical needs, and occasionally to help her family in Lebanon. Settling this is crucial for her to leave Qatar safely. 2- Rent for 2 months (≈4,000 QAR / $1,100): Either to cover her share of rent if her roommate stays, or a small partition room until she can travel. 3- Food and necessities (≈4,000 QAR / $1,100): Basic groceries, utilities, and transport. 4- Cats’ relocation (≈3,000–5,000 QAR / $830–$1,400): Covers vet care, paperwork, and travel for one or both cats, depending on whether she finds her missing cat. Regarding her Flight ticket back home: Thankfully, the company will cover her return to Lebanon once her notice period ends according to Qatar's Labor Laws too. Important: Why $6,000? This will not cover everything, but combined with her end-of-service settlement, it will allow her to survive and travel safely and have some money left to kickstart her stay in Lebanon. It will also help cover a small, recent debt she owes to friends. Even reaching half of this goal would make a life-saving difference. All Nour wants is to return home to Lebanon, to be with her family, to heal, and to start rebuilding her life. She is not asking for luxury — just a chance to survive the next two months, keep a roof over her head, and bring her cats home safely. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. Even sharing her story can give her hope. Thank you for helping my friend Nour hold on to hope and come home safely. 💙

Help Kazem survive from the genocide in Gaza

Emergency

Help Kazem survive from the genocide in Gaza
My name is Kazem Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush, and I’m a 12-year-old boy from Gaza City, Palestine. I am fundraising for my immediate and extended family, who have lost everything in the ongoing war. We used to live a quiet and hopeful life. I was studying at the British International School in Gaza, and I dreamed of continuing my education in the UK. But on October 7, 2023, everything changed. The war destroyed our home, our school, our shops—and our future. Who We Are I live with my father, Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush, my mother, and my two younger siblings. My sister, who is still a baby, was severely burned in an airstrike. After three surgeries and 20 days in intensive care, she still needs urgent care abroad, but the siege prevents us from leaving. She is in pain every day. My father was once supported by his late father, Kazem Dughmush, a respected businessman. Together, they managed family businesses that supported 19 families—all of whom are now displaced and suffering. We come from a large extended family: 16 brothers and their families, and our grandmother. All of us are now without homes, jobs, food, or medicine. Why We Are Fundraising We are raising funds to: • Treat my baby sister's burns and help evacuate her to a country where she can get full medical care • Buy food, water, medicine, and clothing for our family and extended relatives • Support 16 families (mostly children and women) who lost everything due to bombings • Rebuild a minimal, dignified life away from the ruins and ashes How the Funds Will Be Used All funds will go directly to Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush, my father and our family’s caretaker, who is currently in northern Gaza. He will distribute the funds to: • Pay for medical treatment and applications for medical evacuation • Purchase emergency food and clean water from the limited local sources • Provide clothing and hygiene items for the children in the family • Rent or shelter space if available, outside the severely affected northern areas We will maintain receipts, records, and updates to ensure full transparency for every dollar spent. If we are able to travel, we will also use part of the funds to relocate safely and seek treatment for my sister. Our Current Reality We have lost more than 200 relatives, including my 7-month-old cousin, who died from white phosphorous burns. We sleep in tents or destroyed buildings, eating animal feed just to stay alive. There is no school, no future, and no safety here. Please, if you can help us, we will never forget it. Final Note We are not raising funds for any political or armed effort—only for humanitarian survival. Your donation will save lives, bring medical hope to my sister, and help children like me dream again. If you cannot donate, please share this story. Help the world hear our voice. With gratitude, Kazem Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush 12 years old – Gaza City, Palestine Raising funds for the Dughmush family and 16 extended families.
