"I Am a Mother in Gaza… And This Is the Mother’s Day"

Being a mother, Mother’s Day doesn’t mean gifts and celebrations to me; it means safety for my children. How can I celebrate while holding them under a sky that rains bombs instead of flowers? No one came to say, “Happy Mother’s Day,” and my children didn’t run to me with their colorful drawings. Instead, they ran to me in terror, clinging to me as if I were their last shield from death.

All I wish for on this day is just one night where they can sleep without fear, without being awakened by the sound of explosions or collapsing roofs above them. I want to see them grow in peace, laugh without fear, and live the childhood they deserve.

Is that too much to ask?

We are so close to our goal,Help us,please. It's just $125 to get $15.000

If you would like to help me and my children donation link is here

Now the reception department at Nasser Hospital, the hospital we were displaced to, has been targeted. I don't know, I feel like we're living in a Hollywood movie. It's unbelievable. I'm tired of asking for help. I feel like I want to die just to get through this holocaust and this global silence.

I can't lie, I find it very odd that posts cautioning people against donating to individual* campaigns and promoting the idea of supporting mutual aid efforts and community kitchens in Gaza can rack up 10k+ notes--while a post promoting a community kitchen (that I can personally vouch for) struggles to get 1k notes, and has barely pulled in a couple hundred dollars over the past week.

I actively try to avoid using guilting tactics in fundraising, but this is weird to me. It's like people are using these posts as an excuse not to do things they already didn't want to do anyway, rather than actually taking their recommendations on board...

*In my experience, these campaigns often support large extended families + their neighbours

MAQMAP is a community kitchen aiming to support families in the Mawasi Al-Qarara area.

This Ramadān has been a specially rough one for Palestinians, as the Zionist state have been sieging towns and refugee camps all across the West Bank as well as baring aid and supply trucks from entering the Gaza Strip out of made-up claims regarding the safety of hostages held by the Gazauī resistance that outright contradict the very tangible healthiness of those already returned, despite having also been bombed by the IOF and knowingly so.

Gazauīs are held captives both by the Strip-wide lockdown, and by being abused, tortured, and neglected across Zionist carceral sites. And with Zionists having resumed bombardments on absolutely helpless people, I wonder whether only a miracle can help them. But Palestinians still try to get whatever they can, such is @aburakhiaibrahim's case.

He's reached out hoping there can be something done to help him and his loved ones from this end, or through this site's interface. I truly fear for their fate given how things are developing right now in Gaza. I've prayed Allāh ﷻ extends His mercy upon them ever since he first messaged me looking for help, but I know solidarity and tangible actions are the means to that help instead of just "thoughts and prayers."

Whose donation plead has been vetted here.

Could you please, friends, help me spread Ibrahim's petition around, so that he and his loved ones —Allāh willing, وْشَاءَ ٱللَّٰه—can get somewhere safe and away from Zionists' reach? Their campaign hasn't developed much over these months, so this is a fairly urgent plead.

أَمِانِ ٱللَّٰه عَلَيْكُمْ وَالتَّوْڢِيْكْ

The bombing has stopped and the bloodshed has finally ended, but there is still a great fear of breaching the ceasefire and returning to killing, bombing and displacement. So please, if you can donate even a little to get us out of here alive, do not hesitate and donate.

All these people are waiting to be allowed to return to the north of the Strip on a very long distance if you feel, I was among these people, but my family cannot go like this because they are girls and they cannot walk long distances under the sun. If you are sitting on donating urgently, I can pay a rent for the transport car and it will transport them when the occupation is allowed to do so.

We’ve lost everything. Our home has been destroyed, and we are left with nothing. Our children are in desperate need of warmth, shelter, and food.

We are reaching out to the kind hearts of this community for help. Every little contribution can make a difference. We need beds for our children to sleep in, and we need food to keep them nourished. The winter cold is unbearable, and we can’t keep them warm without your help.

How you can help:

Donate to provide shelter – We need a safe place for our children to sleep.

Donate food – We are in dire need of nourishment for our family.

Donate blankets and clothing – To keep our children warm in these harsh conditions.

Every donation counts, no matter how small. Your support means the world to us as we try to rebuild our lives from the ground up.

Please share this message and spread the word. Together, we can make a difference.

We don't even know anymore. Khaled, my little one, has started pronouncing the word "bombing," and it terrifies me.I’m not here to beg or list every detail—because even an entire newspaper wouldn’t be enough. The images on TV screens and the stories you see online already tell you so much about what we endure. But no matter how much you see, you’ll never truly feel what we feel. And I wouldn’t wish this life on anyone.How you can help my familyIn this moment of despair, I reach out to you—not just as a stranger, but as a fellow human being. Our humanity connects us, and compassion knows no boundaries. Your kindness, no matter how small, can bring a glimmer of hope to our lives, shattered by war.

Here’s what we’re trying to rebuild:

💔 $5,000 for the father.

💔 $5,000 for the mother.

💔 $2,500 for Khaled.

💔 $2,500 for Intesar.

, The rest will go toward essential living expenses—because there’s no safety net here, no hospitals, no medicine, no healthy food.

Our baby has been sick countless times, and every evacuation has only made things worse. We need help to survive, to heal, and to dream of a better tomorrow.

Even a Little Means Everything❤️❤️🙏

We appreciate your help, even if it’s just a small donation or simply sharing our story. Every bit of support matters. Together, we can rebuild what’s been taken from us and find hope amidst the rubble.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️Jehad❤

Hi guys! Yujatea here! If you enjoy my work, I’d like to please ask for a moment of your time to consider helping this family I’m supporting! Shaima is a mother of four children, Abdul Rahim, Walid, Majdi, and baby Amal. Shaima is struggling to support her children since her husband disappeared, and needs urgent help with providing food and resources for them, especially as winter sweeps through Gaza! This family’s fundraising campaign (@familgazaamal1) is completely vetted and I’m trying to use my platforms to raise awareness on their behalf. I’ll be opening my commissions to raise funds for their campaign so keep your eyes peeled! I’ll also post their fundraiser link in my highlights as well! Thanks guys! Let’s do our part to reclaim kindness and uplift each other!

Here's a message from the family:

In Gaza, where conflict looms over daily life, children’s dreams remain a ray of hope. Abdul Rahim, a young boy, dreams of becoming a famous artist, using his drawings to tell the world about the beauty of his homeland. Walid, on the other hand, dreams of playing football in a big stadium, representing his country despite the obstacles around him. Majdi, a cat lover, dreams of becoming a kind person and helping children. Majdi, who dreams of opening an animal shelter to care for animals in Gaza. Even in the midst of war, these children cling to their dreams, believing that one day, despite the difficulties, they will achieve their goals. Their dreams are not only about personal success, but also about shedding light on a world filled with darkness. These dreams symbolize the resilience of Gaza’s children, showing that hope and determination can survive even the most difficult circumstances.

In the heart of the ongoing war, Shaima lives with her four children, constantly struggling with pain and waiting. Her husband, who was once the source of security and happiness, left a long time ago, facing the challenges of war far from them. Every day, Shaima makes earnest efforts to keep life going despite the hardships. She strives to provide food and shelter while trying to instill hope in the hearts of her children, who are still waiting for their father’s return, a father they know little about other than his absence. Her four children, despite their young age, carry great hopes in their hearts. The eldest, who everyone sees as the "little father," dreams of their father returning to embrace them as he did in the past. The youngest, on the other hand, wakes up at night searching for his father's voice, wishing for his return to feel safe again. Shaima's dream is every mother’s dream in this war: for her husband to return safely so they can live together again in peace and security. She dreams of the days when her husband filled their home with joy, and she prays for the end of the war so their family can reunite once more. Yet, amid the destruction and tears, hope remains their strength. Shaima knows that her patience and resilience are what keep the family going. Despite the difficult days, she continues to resist, dreaming of the moment when her family will be whole again, with her husband and the father of her children back home.
