Hi, we are a Palestinian family of eight from Gaza: Areej, Janine, Mohammed, Adnan, Ahmed, Mu'taz, Judy, and our mother.

We lost our home, our shelter, and our father, who was the pillar of the family, its support, and its sole provider. My father passed away unable to receive the necessary medical treatment due to the siege and the lack of medicine, leaving us to face life alone in unbearable circumstances. We don't even a tent to shelter us, we paid over $700 to get a tent ! ⛺

Our income is very limited, barely enough to cover our most basic needs for food, medicine, or shelter. My mother, who lost her husband and three of her brothers, struggles alone despite her illness. She suffers from severe high blood pressure and heart problems, silently enduring the pain for our sake. My sister, Janine, suffers from a chronic asthma attack and needs continuous medication that we cannot afford due to the scarcity of resources.  Adnan, my older brother, suffers from scoliosis, and his daily pain prevents him from sleeping and moving normally.

Despite everything, we haven't given up. My siblings, Janin, Muhammad, and I, are university students trying to cling to hope and education, but we face harsh challenges: there's no consistent internet, no reliable electricity, and we can't charge our devices or attend lectures. Life is incredibly difficult and we ask for your support. Any contribution, any support, any participation could be the reason for saving a completely devastated family trying to rise from the rubble.

May God reward you, and may He bless your generosity.

With love,

-Areej & family
