Help Janna get treatment and get out of the Gaza war

Donation protected
Dear compassionate souls:

I am Maryam from Gaza. I come to you today as a helpless mother with a broken heart. I extend my hand to you and I am full of hope in you. Although resorting to collecting donations is painful, it is now my only option to save the life of my family.

My Family:

Me: Maryam .. Bachelor of Arts in Arabic Language / Journalism

My husband: Baha .. He used to work in trade but now he is unemployed because of the war

My children:

Suhaib (10 years)
Abdulrahman (8 years)
Hour (5 years)
Masa (3 years)
Janna (7 months) I gave birth to her during the war



Our story:

Before October 7th

We had a beautiful life .. We had our home full of warmth and love .. My children lived their childhood in every sense of the word .. They went to school .. They owned toys .. They wore the most beautiful clothes .. They watched TV .. We went out to the amusement park during the holidays .. Life was truly wonderful

After October 7th:

Now, because of this war, my husband, my five children and I were forced to evacuate due to the threats of the occupation army in search of safety that does not exist. We were displaced from Gaza (north) to Deir al-Balah (south).

When the war started, we hoped to return home after it ended, but after eight months, the occupation completely destroyed our house, my husband lost his job and our only source of income disappeared.

We are now homeless, living in the streets under tent covers, and facing a harsh reality where there is no food or safety in southern Gaza. We flee from death to death.. The sounds of bombing are everywhere.. They do not stop (by land.. by air.. by sea).



The lack of proper nutrition has weakened my children's immune system. There is no healthy food or clean drinking water.. Vegetables are almost non-existent.. and my children have not eaten fruits for many months.


My children (Suhaib and Abdulrahman) lost two years of school due to the occupation's bombing of schools, which led to the suspension of studies.



As for (Hour), the war prevented her from going to kindergarten. It was her first year in kindergarten.. She was really happy, but they deprived her of this happiness.


Reason for this campaign:

First:

I started this fundraising campaign to ask for your support in providing good temporary housing, food and other basic needs for my children, especially (Jenna) who suffers from severe malnutrition and weak immunity, which affects her normal growth.


Second:

This war has greatly affected my children psychologically as they face a future devoid of hope, and fear accompanies them wherever they go.. They no longer feel safe and our goal is to raise enough funds to evacuate through the Rafah/Egypt crossing to reach a safe place and ensure a better future for my children.

This is our only chance to survive. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a profound impact on our ability to overcome this devastation.


Your support could mean the difference between life and death for my family. We are very grateful for any help you can provide.
