Help Sharifa's Family Rebuild Their Lives in Gaza
Hello friends, I have launched this fundraising campaign to support my cousin Sharifa and her family in rebuilding their lives with dignity, especially after her husband was seriously injured in the neck during the distribution of U.S. aid. The following message is from Sharifa: My name is Sharifa Ibrahim Mahmoud Hamad, I am 42 years old, married to Osama Mahmoud Mohammed Hamad (43 years old). We are a Palestinian family of five, trying to survive after losing everything due to war and forced displacement. Our children are: • Aya Osama Mahmoud Hamad, 16 years old • Ibrahim Osama Mahmoud Hamad, 13 years old (suffers from seizures) • Karim Osama Mahmoud Hamad, 10 years old Before the war, our family depended on social assistance that was provided every three months, but this support has now completely stopped. We had no stable source of income, especially since my husband is unable to work due to serious and life-threatening health conditions. During the war, my husband was critically injured while trying to bring a bag of flour to feed our children. He was struck by shrapnel in his neck on August 14, 2025, during the distribution of U.S. aid. The shrapnel is still lodged in his neck to this day, posing a constant and serious threat to his life. In addition to this dangerous injury, my husband also suffers from a herniated disc in his back, which causes severe pain and prevents him from working or performing any physical labor. We were forcibly displaced multiple times while fleeing bombardment and death: • First displacement from Rafah: May 5, 2024 • Second displacement: May 25, 2024 • Third displacement: July 31, 2024 We lost the last of our savings (2,000 shekels) just to pay for transportation to escape the bombing and protect our children. Today, we are living in extremely harsh humanitarian conditions. Hunger and poverty have overwhelmed us, and our children are suffering from illness and dehydration due to the lack of clothes, bedding, and basic necessities. Our son Ibrahim also suffers from ongoing seizures, which adds to our daily struggles and urgent medical needs. Despite everything, we are trying to rebuild our lives with dignity. We are seeking support to start a small firewood-selling business, with a total cost of 1500 $. This simple project would provide us with a modest source of income to secure food, medicine, and basic needs for our children, without relying entirely on emergency aid. We humbly ask for your help and solidarity. Any contribution, no matter how small, can make a real difference in the life of a family that has endured war, displacement, and loss. Thank you for your kindness, support, and for sharing our story Sharifa & the family

I am a husband and a father of two little children. I have a wife, a 3-year-old daughter, and a 5-year-old daughter. There was a time when our business was doing well, and our family life was full of happiness. I love my family deeply, especially my little girls. They are the reason I wake up every day and keep going. Hoping to give my family a better future, I decided to expand my business. I took loans and mortgaged property at the bank. During that time, I was deceived by a criminal group operating from a special zone in Cambodia. They used sophisticated high-tech methods to scam us, and I lost $100,000. Since then, my life has fallen into a crisis. Every month, I must pay around $1,500 in interest and living expenses. For more than a year, I have tried everything to manage and fix the situation, but now I can no longer borrow from anyone. I have reached my limits. For over half a year, I have struggled with dark thoughts and emotional pain. But I am still here, still trying to live, because my daughters are too young. They are only 3 and 5 years old. What would happen to them if no one is there to protect and care for them? Every time I think about that, I break down in tears. This is the deepest helplessness a man can feel. Today, I put aside my pride to ask for help. My only wish is to stay with my family, raise my daughters, and rebuild our lives step by step. I sincerely hope for your understanding and compassion. If this message causes any discomfort, I truly apologize. But as a father, this is the only thing I can do right now — ask for a chance to keep standing for my children.

Maha’s Palestinian Journal

Emergency

Maha’s Palestinian Journal
Children in Gaza are living through unimaginable hardship. Many have lost their homes, access to food, clean water, and basic medical care. Children who should be in school or playing safely are instead facing hunger, displacement, injury, and deep psychological trauma. Some are orphaned, others are caring for sick or wounded family members, and many are simply struggling to survive each day in conditions no child should ever endure. This campaign supports Maha’s Palestinian Journal, a living chronicle of life in Gaza over the past two years under bombardment, siege, displacement, and now deliberate starvation. The journal is an act of bearing witness, preserving memory, and telling the truth of what it means to live through the ongoing destruction of Palestine. At a time when Palestinian voices are routinely silenced, removed, or erased, this work exists to ensure that these experiences are recorded and shared with the world. While the journal remains the central focus, this effort is also guided by a deep sense of responsibility to help wherever possible. As the work continues, every effort will be made to support children and families facing urgent humanitarian needs, including access to food, basic medical care, shelter, and essential supplies, through trusted local relief efforts and humanitarian channels providing direct assistance on the ground. Children in Gaza are currently living through a severe humanitarian crisis. Families have been displaced multiple times, leaving them without stable shelter. Food shortages have made daily meals uncertain, and access to medical care is extremely limited, particularly for injured children, children with disabilities, and those suffering from malnutrition. No child should be left hungry, injured, or without hope, and no people should be forced into silence while this unfolds. Funds raised through this campaign will help sustain the continuation and publication of Maha’s Palestinian Journal while also allowing support, as much as possible, for humanitarian relief efforts during this critical time. Every contribution helps protect this testimony, support survival, and remind those enduring this crisis that they are not forgotten. Please consider supporting this campaign for Maha’s Palestinian Journal. At this time, the situation is extremely precarious, and support of any kind makes a meaningful difference. If you are unable to contribute, sharing this campaign is also a powerful act of solidarity. With thanks and sincere appreciation.

Support Donation For My Mother
Support Donation For My Mother
For the past two years, Josephine has been enduring a long and difficult battle with throat cancer and COPD, which severely affected her lungs. She underwent a tracheostomy and has faced countless treatments, hospital visits, and daily challenges. Despite the pain, the inability to eat, and the heavy medications and antibiotics, my mother has never lost her strength or hope. She continues to fight with incredible courage. Today, she needs our support more than ever. The medical expenses, ongoing treatments, and daily care have placed an overwhelming financial burden on our family. Doctors have now recommended a PEG procedure (a feeding tube inserted into the stomach) so she can receive proper nutrition, as she is no longer able to eat or drink by mouth. She needs your support to continue her treatment and access the medications she depends on. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has stood by us during this difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ⸻ على مدى العامين الماضيين، كانت جوزفين تخوض معركة طويلة وصعبة مع سرطان الحنجرة ومرض الانسداد الرئوي المزمن (COPD)، ما أثّر بشكل كبير على رئتيها. خضعت لعملية فتح القصبة الهوائية، وواجهت العديد من العلاجات، وزيارات المستشفى، والتحديات اليومية. ورغم الألم، وعدم قدرتها على تناول الطعام، وكثرة الأدوية والمضادات الحيوية، لم تفقد والدتي قوتها ولا أملها يومًا، ولا تزال تقاوم بشجاعة كبيرة. اليوم، هي بحاجة إلى دعمنا أكثر من أي وقت مضى. فقد شكّلت التكاليف الطبية، والعلاجات المستمرة، والرعاية اليومية عبئًا ماليًا كبيرًا على عائلتنا. وقد أوصى الأطباء بإجراء عملية أنبوب تغذية (PEG) يُدخل إلى المعدة لتمكينها من الحصول على التغذية اللازمة، لأنها لم تعد قادرة على الأكل أو الشرب عن طريق الفم. إنها بحاجة إلى دعمكم لمتابعة علاجها وتأمين الأدوية التي تعتمد عليها. نحن ممتنون للغاية لكل من وقف إلى جانبنا في هذه المرحلة الصعبة. شكرًا لكم من أعماق قلوبنا

Support for a Young Family in Medical Crisis

Support for a Young Family in Medical Crisis
Hello, This is a young father from Mohammandpur, Dhaka. I am reaching out with a heartfelt request for help during one of the most challenging times of my life. My wife is currently in her 8th month of pregnancy with our first child. What should have been a joyful time has turned into a medical crisis. During recent prenatal checkups, doctors discovered that she has gallstones (cholelithiasis) with elevated pancreatic enzymes. Her amylase and lipase levels are critically high, exceeding 1000, indicating acute pancreatitis. This serious condition requires immediate medical attention and careful monitoring throughout her pregnancy. We have incurred significant medical expenses already. My wife is under the care of Sappo Medical Hospital, where she will deliver. The estimated cost for her remaining prenatal care and safe delivery is approximately $1,000. Additionally, I have taken a loan of over $600 to cover recent diagnostic tests, medical bills, and essential medications. I must repay this loan within one month. Unfortunately, I recently lost my job, and I am currently unemployed. As a first-time father, I am struggling to manage these unexpected expenses while ensuring my wife receives the best medical care possible. Every day is stressful as I watch my wife's health complications and worry about our baby's safety. I am not asking for charity, but for help during this emergency. Your donation, no matter the amount, will help us pay for her medical treatment and repay the urgent loan. It will give my wife peace of mind and allow us to focus on her health and our baby's arrival. Thank you for your compassion and support during this critical time for our family.
