Alaa and Family in Gaza: Winter Warmth Needed

My name is Alaa, and I come from Gaza. I am a father of seven, 43 years old, with a wife who is 42, and five children. Our oldest daughter Hanan is fifteen, and our youngest son Adam is four. We once dreamed of a peaceful future, but war changed everything. Our home was bombed and destroyed, and we became homeless in an instant. Over the past two years, we have moved from place to place, fleeing danger and facing the harsh realities of displacement.

We have endured bombing, hunger, and thirst. Now we wake up each day worried about how to clothe and feed our children, and winter has arrived with nothing to keep us warm. We still wear summer clothes, and we lack blankets, mattresses, and basic kitchenware. Our family needs safe, reliable clothing for the cold season and essential bedding to survive these nights. Winter is here, and we are doing all we can to stay hopeful, but we cannot do this alone. 🥶

We are seeking donations to help us purchase winter clothes, bedding, and basic kitchenware so we can provide for our children with dignity. With your support, we can create a small measure of stability for Hanan, Adam, and all of us during these difficult months. 🌙

Your kindness gives us a chance to sleep a little easier and to plan for a safer tomorrow. If you are able to contribute, even in a small way, please consider helping our family endure this winter with warmth and hope. 🙏

Thank you for listening to our story and for any support you can offer. Your generosity matters.

With gratitude, Alaa and family
