Provide Essentials for Raneem's Family

This is a message from a Palestinian mother, Raneem Yousif, of two small children, Ehab and Lour Loai:

I was forced to leave my home in Gaza against my will by the occupying army, leaving everything behind, carrying my children in my arms with my heart filled with sorrow. The war destroyed our dreams. My ordeal didn’t end there; I have been displaced more than 10 times so far, never finding safety anywhere. Every time, I endure pain, bombings, and overwhelming fear.

Now, I am living in a displacement camp, in a tent in Deir al-Balah, with my husband Loai and our children. There are no basic necessities—no water, no food, no medicine. In the summer, the heat burns our skin, and in the winter, the cold is unbearable. I am asking for your help so I can bear this burden. We have no source of income, and we have lost everything. Your donations will allow me to buy daily necessities for my family.

A message about this fundraiser:

My name is Samantha Messer, and I am from Ohio in the US. I began this fundraiser for Raneem and her family. Raneem and I became connected during this time of crisis, and we talk almost daily. The money collected will be used to support Raneem and her children with daily essentials, like food, water, and temporary shelter, and will be provided to her through a bank account transfer.
