Help Nour and her Family Achieve a Better Future

A flimsy tent that does nothing to ward off the bitter cold and frigid rain. Long and chaotic lines for a bucket of water a family of 5 has to survive off of for a week. These are just glimpses of the nightmare my life has become.

Hi,

I am Nour, a Palestinian girl from Gaza. I am 5 years old. We were displaced from our home after the occupation bombed our home. I saw the ravages of death on the way to the south, where I had to walk long distances on my little feet...

After arriving in southern Gaza, we saw all forms of suffering. My mom, dad, grandma, and three sisters: Bana, Dana, Menna and I all now live in a tent with no electricity, dirty water, and no food.

We do not have any necessities for life. My sisters and I suffer from illness and weight loss due to malnutrition and lack of it. There is no source of livelihood for my father, who lost his job there in Gaza.

Sometimes words cannot describe what has happened. I used to be a happy girl, now I am scared and hungry and thirsty.

We need your help and support to provide a better life for me and my family, who suffer unimaginably.

My name is Marleen. I live in Virginia. I am fundraising for the sister of my friend, whom Nour is the daughter of. The funds will be used to improve the girls’ future and provide them with their basic life requirements, as they suffer from all the necessary necessities of life
