A note from Maram :
As winter approaches and nearly a full year of terror approaches, new challenges to survival emerge. Donations are needed now more than ever, as shelter, food and water are in urgent need, adding to already high costs. We are exhausted, your donations give them hope.
Sincere thanks and utmost gratitude to all the donors and supporters across social media who helped Maram and her family survive. You keep them alive and provide hope in these dark days.

I am Maram from Gaza
I am 28 years old and live under the shadow of war, fear and destruction.
If you can take just two minutes of your time
We have been living in war for more than year There are no words to describe what we are experiencing
I have lived through death several times, but I do not know how to escape death each time
I graduated from university with a high grade, and I was working but I lost my job and everything I owned. It is not easy. We suffered from displacement a lot, in addition to being besieged more than once and leaving under shelling, tanks and random targeting. I do not know how I survived every time. We were displaced to Rafah in a worn-out tent in the winter and there was nothing to shelter us from the bitter cold. I do not know how to describe to you what we were living. We were also harmed by displacement in the extreme heat and it was really the most difficult, as if you were living inside an oven exposed to direct heat, as if you were really melting. Also, with the presence of insects and snakes, it was difficult, but we had no choice. We are living in a way that no human being can bear. We deserve a better life than that. We fear death.
Life here is almost impossible. We do not know whether we will survive or not
I lost my family and also our home and we are homeless now.
I lost everything, even my life,
I left my house on October 7th and have not returned to it until now, because there is no longer a home
I was displaced more than 10 times, each time I hoped it would be the last
But we live under a merciless army,
What remains of my family is my mother who is sick and needs expensive treatment,
Also, my father had a stroke because he lost many of his relatives, his job, all the factories he owned, and also losing the house is not easy.
and I am the one who takes care of her and I cannot provide the treatment, and this is something that scares me very much.
I could not leave Gaza because the cost of leaving for one person is $8,000, and I do not have this amount
In order to save your life, you have to pay a heavy price
I had many ambitions and dreams that I intended to achieve
But the war destroyed everything, yet I am striving and will continue to strive for what I want
Therefore, I am very ashamed to ask you to help me with anything, even if it is a little. This would really mean a lot to me.
Then I can save my life and what is left of my family
I hope you donate
Together we can achieve the goal
Every small donation will save our life
