My name is Manal, a mother of six from Gaza. I never imagined I’d be writing this from a tattered tent, with nothing but dust, loss, and broken dreams around us.
💔 Our home was destroyed in the war.
Now, we live displaced—without a home, without food, without medicine. I am the only caregiver for my six children, and every day we fight to survive.
💔 My children are suffering…
-
👧 My 13-year-old daughter has severe anemia and colon issues. She needs weekly blood tests ($30) and vital medication costing $100/month. Without treatment, her health could deteriorate rapidly.
-
👦 My 9-year-old son suffers from acute malnutrition and vitamin deficiency. His small body is fragile… all I want is to feed him healthy food like any child deserves.
-
🎓 My two daughters were forced to leave university because we can’t afford tuition (a total of $2,500). Their dreams of education are withering in silence.
-
📚 My youngest daughter is in high school, struggling to prepare for her final exams. She needs tutoring and supplies, but I can’t even afford a notebook, let alone $30/month for lessons.
-
🫓 We haven’t had bread in over two months. There’s no flour, no clean water, no way to prepare a proper meal.
⚠️ The truth is devastating:
We don’t ask for meat, fruit, or luxury.
All I pray for is:
🫓 Flour
💧 Clean water
💊 Basic medicine
📖 A chance for my children to learn and live
Every day, I watch my kids go to sleep hungry. We live a slow death. And I’ve reached a point where hope depends on you.
🆘 What we need:
-
🏥 $1000/month to cover food, rent, medicine, and education
-
💊 $130/month just for one sick child’s tests and medicine
-
🏫 $2,500 one-time to reinstate two daughters into university
-
🍞 Emergency food relief — we have no flour, no bread, no nutrition
💌 From a mother’s heart:
I am not just asking for help —
I’m begging you not to let my children starve.
I’m not asking for luxury — only for what keeps them alive.
🔁 Share this story — maybe it will reach someone who can help.
💸 Donate what you can — even $5 can mean life.
Please, don’t extinguish our last flame of hope.
May your kindness return to you in healing, safety, and love.
With all my heart,
– Manal Ahmed, Gaza 🇵🇸
