My name is Malak Salama, I’m 17 years old and live in Gaza with my adoptive parents. We are a small family of three — but our pain is overwhelming.

I used to be a high school student. I had dreams, goals, and a future. But the war destroyed everything.

👨‍👩‍👧 Meet Our Family

  • Father: Salama Suleiman Al-Deirawi (48)
    Suffers from severe pain in both legs. He cannot walk for more than an hour without unbearable pain. Doctors say he will eventually need a joint replacement surgery. He takes daily medication just to get by.

  • Mother: Fadwa Ismail Al-Deirawi (40)
    Since the war began, she’s been struggling with chronic sinus issues and breathing problems due to the smoke from cooking fires. There’s no gas or clean air anymore.

  • Me: Malak Salama (17)
    I was adopted by my uncle and aunt when I was just a baby. I now suffer from vision problems, and I can’t continue my education — schools have been shut down for two years because of the war.

💔 Our Struggles

Before the war, my father sold items on a small street stall. We lived simply, but with dignity.
Now, after two years of war, we have nothing left.

  • 🏚️ Our home is damaged

  • 🍽️ We haven’t seen flour or proper food in over 4 months

  • 🥫 We survive on lentils and a few cans of peas — nothing more

  • 💡 We have no electricity

  • 💧 Water is extremely limited, barely safe to drink

  • 🚫 We receive no aid — not even from UNRWA, due to the siege

“We are humiliated just to find a bite of food. Famine has crushed us. We live like shadows in our own home.” — Salama, Malak’s father

🙏 Why We Need Your Help

We are asking for your support to:

  • Buy basic food like flour, rice, and canned goods

  • Get medical care and medicine for my father, mother, and me

  • Prepare for school supplies in case education resumes

  • Repair our damaged home

“Please help me survive. I want to live, study, and see again. Your support will save me from hunger, injustice, and despair.” — Malak

Even a small donation can restore hope to a family that has lost everything.
