Dear friends,

My name is Ahmad , and I am a 14-year-old resident of Khan Younis, within the Gaza Strip. I am reaching out to you in hopes of bringing aid to my family and others in our community during these incredibly challenging times. We are deeply humbled by the generosity and support of those who have already contributed, and words cannot fully convey our gratitude for the hope you have given us in moments when despair feels overwhelming.

My goal is to raise $20,000 to help cover the urgent needs of my family and secure essential supplies for others in our community. The funds will be used to provide for my father, (50 years), my mother, (42 years), my sister (16 years), and various families who are suffering from the crisis.

As winter approaches, we are in desperate need of shelter, warm clothing, food, clean water, and medical supplies. Tents and winter supplies are critical for survival, especially for families with young children and the elderly.

The cost of daily necessities has skyrocketed, and our limited resources are quickly depleting. Access to even the most basic items is increasingly restricted, leaving us to struggle against mounting prices and a scarcity of goods. The recent escalation at Rafah Crossing last May has compounded these challenges, making essential goods prohibitively expensive. Additionally, my father, who was the breadwinner of our family, has lost his job, leaving us in an incredibly fragile situation.

The funds raised will be allocated as follows:

* Purchasing tents and winter supplies for families in need, including my own.

* Providing food and clean water for those who are struggling.

* Covering basic life necessities such as medical supplies and warm clothing for my family and others in need.

Thank you for your patience, compassion, and unwavering humanity. Your support means the world to us, providing a glimmer of hope as we brace ourselves against these relentless hardships. Your kindness has become a beacon of light, helping us face the harsh reality of our daily lives.

We plan to distribute these supplies directly to families in our community, ensuring that your generous donations reach those who require assistance the most.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Or

Vetted!!!

In a corner of Gaza, my family and I are drowning in destruction, with the echoes of suffering surrounding us. I sat beside my modest tent, hastily erected after losing my home in the latest bombing. The faces of my family tell stories of patience and resilience, with lines of time etched upon them, as if they were records of unforgettable events. 🇵🇸⏳🍉

I once lived in a small home, filled with the laughter and voices of my children. Today, I have become a witness to the agony of displacement. The bombing forced me to flee with my children after a shell struck our home, leaving behind years of memories and simple belongings I never imagined would become unreachable. 🏚️💨

Every morning, I leave my tent and go to work, using a clay oven to provide food for my children. Meanwhile, my youngest son heads to the charity kitchens that offer aid, waiting for long hours under Gaza’s scorching sun. Despite the exhaustion that weighs down his frail body, he carries the food mixed with his tears and returns with a fake smile, hiding behind it the burdens of his struggles. 🍞🥀

At night, when everyone else is asleep, I remain seated at the entrance of my tent, gazing at the dark sky, reminiscing about days gone by… about my home that was once filled with warmth. Yet, I still find remnants of hope in my heart—a hope that one day peace will return, and my children and I will live in a new home, filled with joy. 🌙🏡✨

In moments of solitude, I find peace in prayer and supplication. I plead to God to protect Gaza and its people, to wipe away the dust of sorrow from our hearts. I always repeat🇵🇸🍉🌿

"We are here to remind the world that we are stronger than war, and we will rebuild our lives anew, no matter the cost!" 🙏
