"From a Dream Home to a Tent Under Bombs: A Young Mother's Struggle to Save Her Baby Rose"

Hello, my name is Mayar Nashwan, I am 23 years old and I am contacting you today asking for help.

I am a resident of the Gaza Strip, a place that suffers from the ravages of wars continuously. I have a bachelor's degree in social work and sociology, I am married and a mother of a beautiful girl.

My husband and I were living a comfortable life in our beautiful home full of memories. Then I got married and only lived there for five months, I only got married 5 months before the war. Until October 7, the war began, my husband and I's lives changed, our home was destroyed and all our sweet memories were gone. Our circumstances changed to find ourselves living in a tent in very harsh conditions, under shells and missiles. I never imagined that I would give birth to my baby girl under these harsh conditions, but God blessed me with the most beautiful girl whom I named Rose.

The situation here is very difficult, we suffer from lack of food and security and famine is looming here.
 I did not know that my husband and I would be unable to provide milk and diapers for my baby due to the harsh conditions we live in here. 

One of the biggest shocks was that I got pictures of my beautiful home, which had been destroyed after the occupation destroyed it. 

So I decided to travel and go to a safe place that would protect me and my family. But traveling to a safe area is beyond our means, as the cost of travel for one person alone is $5,000 per person, which is an impossible amount to pay. 

For this reason, I am contacting you, my friends, to help me and my beautiful family, to escape from this area that has suffered from the horrors of war. Your generosity and sympathy can make a difference in my life and that of my family. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing by us and helping us.
