Help Us Escape Gaza and Rebuild Our Lives
Dear Friends, My name is Alaa AlHelou, and I am writing to you from Gaza, where my family and I have been enduring an unimaginable ordeal for the past 11 months. The war that has gripped our homeland has brought devastation, fear, and suffering that we never thought possible. I am a mother of three beautiful children, ages 7, 6, and 2. My husband, who was once our family's sole provider, lost his job due to the relentless conflict. We have been displaced multiple times, each escape from death and bombing more harrowing than the last. Our home, the place where my children once felt safe, was bombed, leaving us with nothing but the clothes on our backs and a deep sense of fear and uncertainty. For nearly a year now, we have been living through constant suffering. The war in Gaza has left many families like mine struggling to survive. Every day is a battle for basic necessities—food, clean water, and shelter. As a mother, it breaks my heart to see my children endure such hardship. They deserve a chance to grow up in a safe environment, to go to school, and to play without the constant fear of bombings. My husband and I are doing everything we can to protect and provide for them, but we need your help. In addition to our immediate needs, we are desperate to escape the constant danger and cross the border into Egypt. This journey is our only hope for safety and a stable future. The cost to cross the border is $5,000 per adult and $2,500 for young children. This amount is beyond our reach, but with your help, we can gather the funds necessary to secure our passage to safety. We have created a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe with the hope that generous people like you will help us rebuild our lives and escape the war zone. Our goal is to raise $30,000, which will go towards securing temporary shelter, food, medical supplies, and covering the costs of crossing the border to Egypt. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and stability. Your support will not only provide immediate relief but will also give us hope for a brighter future. We dream of a day when our children can live without fear, when my husband can find work and provide for us, and when we can rebuild our home and our lives in a safe environment. This dream feels distant now, but with your help, it can become a reality. In times of crisis, the strength of humanity shines through the darkest moments. We are reaching out to you, dear friends, to stand with us in this time of need. Your kindness and generosity can make a profound difference in our lives. Together, we can overcome the devastating effects of this war and give my children the chance they deserve to grow up in a world of peace and security. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering our plea. Your support means the world to us. Please share our story with your friends and family, and help us spread the word. Every act of kindness brings us closer to a safe and secure future. With heartfelt gratitude, Alaa AlHelou

Hope For Lebanon

Emergency

Hope For Lebanon
In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, With His help, we proceed... Since the beginning of the blatant aggression against our beloved country and the displacement of our people and loved ones from their villages and cities to areas they deem safe, starting from the last week of September, we have taken it upon ourselves—out of our humanitarian and moral responsibility—to gather whatever we could from generous donors and kind-hearted individuals to support and assist our people in Lebanon in various ways, with our modest resources. This effort has reached numerous areas, starting from Saida and its outskirts to Baabda, Kfarshima, Hayy al-Salam, Choueifat, Damour, Baawarta, Zqaq al-Blat, and also some cases in the north. The aid provided was both financial and material, depending on our capacity. Financial donations were directed toward individual cases of displaced persons residing with relatives, and their needs were primarily for children and the elderly, including diapers, milk, and medicines. We also supplied them with blankets and mattresses. Material assistance was distributed in crowded neighborhoods where each household often shelters more than 10 families. We distributed cooking supplies, canned goods, cleaning supplies of all kinds, bathing soap, and essentials to schools, where each accommodates between 500 to 1,400 people. In these cases, we focused on canned food, bread, water, blankets, mattresses, and cleaning supplies. We also provided medications to the areas of Zqaq al-Blat and Damour, with a focus on anti-inflammatory drugs, fever reducers, and medications for blood pressure, heart, and diabetes, like insulin. All of this work has been documented with receipts, photos, and videos, carefully respecting the dignity of our people without filming any of them, out of sensitivity to their situation. This documentation is intended to establish the credibility of our work and maintain donor trust, given the prevalence of fraudulent organizations exploiting the suffering of our people. Additionally, we distributed clothes to all these centers upon request from families who couldn’t take their basic belongings when leaving their homes. With winter approaching, we call upon our beloved supporters and generous hands to help us provide heaters and gas for our loved ones. We clarify that our work is individual and not affiliated with any organization. Our efforts stem solely from our ethics and sense of responsibility toward our displaced family members. We urge you to support us and stand by our loved ones in these challenging times, as the situation worsens daily with the expansion of aggression into areas once considered safe, forcing people to flee once again, increasing the number of those in need. Whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it. And what greater reward than helping God's creation in these most challenging circumstances. From you, the giving; from us, the service; and from God, the best of rewards.

Monis’ Journey: From Hardships to Hope

Monis’ Journey: From Hardships to Hope
Hello, my name is Monis, a 35-year-old living in the capital city of Amman, Jordan. Since childhood, I have faced significant challenges, having lost both my parents and becoming responsible for my family. Despite these hardships, I found purpose in working with humanitarian organizations, helping others in need. A few years ago, I decided to start my own business and took out a loan from the bank to make this dream a reality. However, like many others, the COVID-19 pandemic turned my life upside down. I lost my entire business and became unable to meet my financial obligations to the bank. My struggles were compounded when my sister was hospitalized, and I had to sell my belongings to cover her medical expenses. Today, I find myself in a difficult situation, with my financial problems worsening each day. Additionally, I have had to postpone my wedding multiple times due to financial challenges, and I fear losing my fiancée, whom I have been engaged to for three years. Despite everything, I have not lost hope. My ambition is to establish an organization to help those affected in my community, which suffers from high poverty rates. I need to raise $20,000 to pay off my debts and get back on my feet. I believe in the goodness of people and hope to find those who can lend a helping hand during these tough times. I can provide any photos or documents to verify my story, and you can contact me via email, phone, or Skype. Thank you very much for your support and assistance in helping me achieve this goal

Help a Brave Mother Rebuild Her Life Amidst War
Dear Supporters, My name is Alaa, and for over eight months, I have fought a relentless battle against the horrors of war in Gaza. I’ve experienced unimaginable loss—the heartbreaking deaths of my beloved brothers, Muhammad and Tariq, whose lives were cut short by violence. Their absence is a wound that never heals. The war has stripped us of everything. My husband and I lost our jobs, and our once-happy home now lies in ruins. We have been forced to move multiple times, living under the constant threat of siege, hunger, and fear. The sounds of gunfire and explosions echo in our ears, while the scarcity of food and medical supplies deepens our despair. But my greatest concern is for my daughter, Naya. Once filled with joy, her life is now overshadowed by fear and anxiety. I dream of a day when she can play freely, where my family can live without the specter of violence looming over us. But I cannot achieve this alone. I need your compassionate support. We aim to raise $100,000 to provide us with the essentials we desperately need—food, shelter, and medical care. Your contributions can make an immediate impact: $10 can provide a week’s worth of food for Naya and me. $50 can secure temporary shelter for our family. $100 can cover vital medical supplies for urgent health needs. $500 can help us start rebuilding our lives in safety. Every donation, no matter how small, is a lifeline for us. Your generosity can transform our despair into hope, allowing us to take steps toward a brighter future. As you consider helping us, know that I will keep you in my prayers. Your kindness and compassion are powerful, and your support not only helps us rebuild but also sends a ripple of hope throughout our community. Please stand with me and my family during this critical time. Together, we can make a profound difference and help us reclaim the peace and security we long for. #SupportAlaa #HopeForGaza #StandWithAlaa #HelpAlaaRebuild #RebuildLives Thank you from the depths of my heart for your kindness and compassion.
