Help Kayan Provide for Her Children in Wartorn Gaza

I am Kayan from Gaza. We have been displaced and living on the street without shelter in a state of extreme poverty. I am a mother of three children who need food, water, medicine, clothes, and shelter, and I have a baby girl who needs milk, diapers, and medical care. For months we had not found shelter since the army took us out of our homes, and we have been suffering greatly.

I hope to God that you can help me. I have three children. Among them is a six-month-old newborn who needs milk and medicine. I hope to God that you will be the reason to bring joy to their hearts. Because my children need treatment, food, water, clothes and shelter. I thank you for any support you can provide to me. Only in the last month a good woman took us in and she helped us find a place to sleep until we found the money for a tent for me and the children.

Recently I took the little girl to the clinic whom is small, six months old, and suffering due to severe malnutrition. I bought treatment for her and I did not have any money left for food. Now that the army is asking the residents of Deir al-Balah to evacuate, I don’t know what to do because we struggle with money for food and medicine and have not been able to save money for a tent. Please collect donations for me and my children to build a tent and leave the city of Deir al-Balah. I am very afraid for my children. The tent costs a very large amount of money. One tent costs about 800 dollars. Please help me.

From Christa:

My name is Christa Robinson, and I am a graduate student at Michigan State University. I have gotten to know Kayan El Hajj online over the last few months. She is looking for donations for basic needs like food, clothing, shelter and medical care. Additional expenses may occur should the family be displaced yet again, which seems to be a strong possibility as Deir al-Balah continues to receive notices to evacuate. I will transfer the donations to Kayan via PayPal. Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser. Urgent donations are needed, and regular donations are very welcome.
