Help Maha and her family
Donation protected
I am Maha, 24 years old, from Gaza. I am married to Basil, 28 years old. We have two daughters, Layan, who is two years old and Lama, who is four months old. We had a very nice house and I ran my own small business and my husband worked as a tradesman with his father in a wood and metal manufacturing factory.
Our life was stable, calm and beautiful. We had wonderful moments, we had a beautiful social life with my family and my husband's family, we lived a high level of luxury.
My eldest daughter, Layan, had the most beautiful room, the warmest bed, and she had toys that she loved and were attached to. But now Layan only has her toy, which she called Soso, the only thing left of this house for her.
My husband is a mechatronics engineer. He is very accomplished in his field. He had a small lab at home in which he made 3D printers and robots and sold them to children’s education institutions.
At the beginning of our marriage, my husband was at work all day and I was bored, so Iasked him to open a business for me to sell children’s clothes online. I was in love with children’s clothes because of Layan’s presence in my life, and indeed my husband saved some money and we imported clothes from China and opened the business.
It was a successful business and all my friends supported me. I had imported a lot of clothes and we paid all our money into this business. Then I learned that I was pregnant with my second child, Lama. From here, our lives changed from stability to homelessness, from happiness to sadness and depression.
The war came on Gaza and they took us out of our homes by force and left behind our memories, money, and work. They completely destroyed my house, which contained the project’s clothes, my house also contains my husband's lab, which he used to practice his passion for, all of this was gone and never returned.
They also destroyed my father-in-law's factory. My husband and I are left without a source of income.
I lived the most difficult moments of my life. We were initially displaced to a small apartment full of people and there was no water. After that, we were displaced for the second time to a shelter center, and I lived in a tent with my child, Layan, and my husband. It was a tent that did not protect from the cold. The weather was freezing, and I did not know how to protect Layan. From the cold because heavy winter clothes were not available.
Not only that, I was pregnant and did not receive any attention. I had health problems due to lack of attention. There was no follow-up of the pregnancy, and there was no healthy food or clean water to drink. I was getting sick and could not find treatment.
Also, my child, Layan, developed lung infections from inhaling smoke from burning wood all day long due to the lack of cooking gas, so she used to get sick and have a cough all the time, and there is no medicine.
Until the time of my birth came and I was in the tent and we went out in the middle of the night under bombardment, terror and fear because Any vehicle moving after this time can be targeted by aircraft, but I decided that my husband, Layan, and I would take a risk and move at our own risk, We took my daughter Layan with us so that if we were targeted and bombed, we would all die and Layan would not be left alone without a mother and father.
until my second child, Lama, came by caesarean section without cleanliness, attention and care, and from the pollution that was in the hospital, I contracted hepatitis and I suffered from it a lot because it is treated with food and there is no food unfortunately.
After I left the hospital, I returned to the shelter center with a newborn baby there. The place is very cold and pollution is everywhere. Smoke from burning wood fills the place with waste, insects are widespread, and sewage is everywhere. There are no sterile bathrooms, not even a bed to sleep on after the operation. Yes. I was sleeping on the floor.
7 months of displacement have exhausted all our savings. We have spent everything we have and now we have nothing, no money, no home, and no source of income.
We live an inhumane life. There is no clean drinking water for my young children. There is no water even for bathing, and this is the cause of my daughters’ skin rashes that have not been treated yet. I suffered from the lack of bathrooms, and if you want to go to the bathroom you have to wait for your turn for at least an hour. I suffered from It was cold while I was in the tent. I did not know how to protect my children, especially my newborn daughter, Lama, my second child, who had never seen anything in life except fear, horror, death, and blood! She had never heard anything in her life except bombing My friends.
I was ashamed to ask for help, but circumstances forced me to do, not for me, but for my children. I hope they get a life like the rest of the world's children. Don't Layan and Lama have the right to play in a clean environment, free of the smell of smoke, a quiet environment, free of the sounds of bombing, and a stable life free of displacement? Doesn't Layan have the right to keep her toys with her, and when she grows up, they stay with her and keep her memories, or are we not human and do not have the right to life and stability? Doesn't Lama have the right to be born in a sterile, pollution-free hospital and to sleep in a warm bed? Don't Lian and Lama have the right to at least provide for their basic needs, such as milk, pampers, and clothes? Therefore, my friends, I hope that you will help me achieve my goal so that I, my children, and my husband can live a decent life like the rest of the world.
