My name is Hanan Hassan, I’m 26 years old, and I write to you from a bare rooftop in Gaza, where I live with my mother and three sisters in a tiny rented room with a bathroom.
We lost everything in the war —
ποΈ Our home was destroyed
π My father was killed
π» I lost my laptop, which I used for both my studies and work
Now, I’m the sole provider for a family of five women with no income, no support, and no place to go.
π©π§π§ My family:
-
π§ My mother (72 years old) is suffering from high blood pressure, chronic asthma, and colon disease. She needs inhalers and daily medication, which cost $350–$500 per month.
-
π©π¦° My sisters are 36, 33, and 28 years old.
-
π© I am 26, and since my father's death, I have carried the burden of keeping us alive. I suffer from diabetes and requires regular medication
None of my brothers supports us — they are married and have families of their own. We are completely on our own.
π Our living conditions:
-
ποΈ We rent one small room and a bathroom on a rooftop — and we can’t even afford the $200/month rent anymore.
-
β³ We owe 3 months of back rent and are at risk of being thrown out.
-
π We often go days without food or clean water.
-
π We can’t buy any basic life needs, including medicine and hygiene essentials.
π What we need urgently:
-
πΈ $200/month for rent
-
π $350–$500/month for my mother’s and my medications
-
π½οΈ Basic support for food, water, and essential needs
-
π₯οΈ A laptop to help me resume studies and find online work to support my family
π From my heart:
I’m not asking for luxury. I’m asking for help to survive.
Please don’t let my mother go without medicine.
Please don’t let us be thrown out into the streets.
I believe in the kindness of strangers — and you may be our only hope.
If you can:
π Share this campaign — your voice might reach someone who can help.
π΅ Donate whatever you can — even a small amount can change everything.
You could be the reason we have bread tomorrow, or my mother has her next dose of medicine.
With all my love and sincerity,
– Hanan Hassan, Gaza π΅πΈ
