Help me save my mother

#Help Me Save My Mother

My name is Taghreed, and I am writing this with a heavy heart from Gaza.

My mother, Um Mohammad, is 74 years old She suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure, severe malnutrition, and recently suffered a serious stroke. The stroke caused complications affecting her eye and tear duct, and she now urgently needs surgery to save her vision and believe her pain

For a long time, it was just my mother and me trying to survive together.

I am 33 years old, unmarried, and I also suffer from diabetes and high blood pressure. We both struggle with illness while living in extreme difficult conditions.

The hardest part of our story is that we lost my father during this war.

My father was our support, our comfort, and the heart of our family. As conditions became worse and food became scarce, we could not provide him with the nutrition and care he desperately needed We watched him grow weaker and weaker until we lost him. The pain of losing my father has never left us

As if that was not enough, tragedy struck our family again. My sister's husband recently passed away, leaving her with no one to support her. She returned to live with us She has lost all of her teeth and struggles to eat properly, while also experiencing severe hardship and poor health.

Today, we are three volnerable women trying to survive together.

My elderly mother who needs urgent surgery.

My widowed sister who is struggling with her health

And me, trying to care for both of them while battling my own illnesses.

We have no provider

No stable income

No savings.

No security

We also have no real shelter.

Like many families in Gaza, we lost the place we once called home. Today, we live without a safe and stable place to stay. My elderly mother, who is struggling with illness and pain, has no home where she can rest, recover, or feel secure

At 74 years old, she should be spending her days in peace and dignity, not worrying about where she will sleep or how she will survive another day.

Every day feels like a battle for survival.

Some days we worry about medicine

Some days we worry about food

Some days we worry about both

Watching my mother suffer is breaking my heart. She spent her entire life caring for us, protecting us, and sacrificing everything for her family. Now she is the one in pain, and I feel helpless standing beside her.

This campaign will help us provide:

💊 Essential medications and medical treatment

🏥 My mother's urgent eye surgery and hospital expenses

🥖 Food and nutritional support for our family.

💧 Clean drinking water

🏕️ Shelter and basic necessities

Every donation, even one dollar, has value.

A single dollar may seem small, but for us it can mean medicine, food, or one step closer to my mother's surgery.

If you cannot donate, please share our story.

Your share may reach the person who helps save my mother's sight and gives our family a chance to keep going

Thank you for reading our story, for caring, and for standing with us during the hardest time of our lives.

With gratitude,

Taghreed, daughter of Um Mohammad 🤍
