Help Ahmed, a special needs orphan, and his guardian Maryam’s family in Gaza

My name is Saif, and I'm running this campaign to support Ahmed, a special needs orphaned child in Gaza, and the family of his guardian Maryam with whom I'm in touch on WhatsApp. 

The beneficiary on their previous campaign on GoFundMe kept some of the funds, so we are having to starting fresh. 

Hear from Maryam in her own words: 

My name is Mariam Jadallah, a mother of five children and the legal guardian of Ahmed Hani Jadallah, a brave child with special needs who lost his entire family—15 members—in the war on Gaza. Ahmed survived under the rubble and endured 55 days in the Al-Qarara area without food, water, or shelter. Today, he suffers from severe head injuries, psychological trauma, malnutrition, and has no way to rebuild his shattered life.

But this isn’t just Ahmed’s story—it’s mine too.

As a mother and guardian, I opened my heart and home to Ahmed, despite the overwhelming challenges I face. My husband is seriously ill, suffering from high blood pressure, nerve damage, and blocked arteries in his leg. He cannot work, and we struggle every day to afford the most basic needs: food, hygiene, medicine, and warm clothes.

We urgently need your help.

Your donation will assist with:

Ahmed's medical treatment (physical and psychological care)

Basic needs: diapers, hygiene products, nutritious food, and clean water

A warm tent and clothing to protect us from the cold

Support for me and my family, who also need care, stability, and hope

How Your Support Can Change Our Lives

Every donation helps:

Provide Ahmed with critical medical care and psychological support to recover from trauma

Supply us with food, water, hygiene, and winter clothing

Fund Ahmed’s journey to Egypt for essential medical treatment

Help us meet our daily needs so I can continue caring for Ahmed and my own children with dignity

Ahmed and I both dream of a future where we can live in peace, heal from trauma, and rebuild a life filled with hope. But we can’t do this alone.
