A Young Mother’s Plea: Help Me Heal My Son and Feed My Babies

A Young Mother’s Plea: Help Me Heal My Son and Feed My Babies

My name is Faten, I’m 24 years old, and I’m a mother of three young children living in Gaza — trying to survive under the weight of war, destruction, and poverty.

My daughter Hala is 4 years old.
My son Muhammad, just 3, was born with a serious condition — his legs are bowed due to osteomalacia, a calcium deficiency that causes weak and soft bones. He needs a medical device and medicine that cost over $1,000, but I cannot afford it. Without this, he may never walk properly.

And just days ago, I gave birth to my third child, baby Mira. She is a newborn, and I have no way to provide her with milk, diapers, or clothing. I feel helpless watching her cry from hunger, unable to give her even the most basic care.

We are living in a partially destroyed home — no windows, no doors, and cracked walls that barely hold up. In winter, we freeze. In summer, we suffer from unbearable heat. And through it all, my children are malnourished, sick, and exposed.

There is no food, no clean water, no warmth. My children are wasting away before my eyes — not from war alone, but from hunger and neglect no mother should ever face.

Please, I’m begging from the depths of my heart — help me care for my children.

Your donation can help us:

🦶 Provide the medical device and medicine Muhammad urgently needs
🍼 Buy milk, diapers, and clothes for newborn Mira
🍲 Feed my children and improve their nutrition
🏚️ Repair parts of our damaged home to make it livable
🧤 Provide clothing and shelter to survive harsh weather
❤️ Give my children a chance to live with dignity and health

Even $1 can make a real difference in our lives. I’m a mother with nothing left but my love for my children and my hope in your compassion.

Please don’t let them suffer alone.

With all my heart,
Faten — Gaza, Palestine 🇵🇸
