Death is inevitable for me; my chances of survival in Gaza are nil. If I don't die from the disease, I'll die from the bombing.

Save my family from hunger

My name is Abdullah Al-Qassab, I’m 27 years old, and I am writing this message with trembling hands and an empty stomach — from Gaza.

Before the war, I had a small travel agency something I built with love, effort, and hope.I dreamed of a simple life… a dignified life.

But the war didn’t just destroy my home and business —it shattered my ability to dream.

Today, I’m not asking for dreams.I’m asking for bread. For water. For life I now live with my family in the open — no walls, no roof, just the cold ground beneath us.

We are in a catastrophic famine.

We go days without food.

We faint in the street from hunger.

Our bodies are giving up.

And still… the world remains silent.

My mother has a heart condition — she needs medicine and special food.

Now she lies in pain, her chest aching, and I have nothing to give her. My grandmother has high blood pressure — worsened by hunger and cold nights.

Her body is shrinking before my eyes.

And me😞?

I’ve collapsed more than once from weakness. From not eating.But I stand up again… because they need me.

What do you call this life?

Sleeping on the dirt… watching your family starve… praying your heart doesn’t stop before help arrives? This is not a life. This is a slow death. To anyone reading this Please… don’t turn away from me.

Help me buy food before we collapse again. Help me get medicine before my mother’s heart gives out.

Help me bring even one moment of comfort to my grandmother before it’s too late.

I’m not asking for luxury.

I’m not asking for comfort.

> I’m begging for survival.

Even the smallest act of kindness could mean the world to us. Please… save us from this hunger.

— Abdullah Al-Qassab

Hey, please read this, just getting this all off my chest helps a lot itself :)

I am Layla, a 17 year old student from Mussoorie currently studying at Woodstock International School. I've been inactive recently as I was busy with my A level exams and my household situation. Recently, due to my father getting unemployed (3 months ago), our family has been going through a really tough time. I in my school am on scolarship and much of my tution fee gets waived off but recently our condition has worsened and my parents are in a lot of mental stress as our school fees (me and my 2 other siblings) is a major part of our family's monthly expense. I really dont want my education to suffer with my exams going on and can't see my parents stressing about my tuition fee like this.

11,000 INR is needed, which is around 135 USD

Paypal

This is my family's account (my fathers') for all of the donations and incase this doesn't seem to work or you need some more information, please feel free to mssg me or send an ask. My email is [email protected]

Sorry for making this long, but i really had to swallow my pride while making this. Please help out if you can, and again, thanks for reading. Every type of donation or reblog would really mean and matter a lot. <3

Please help me rebuild my life 🙏

‼️ Ceasefire ‼️

Hello my friends

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and for standing by me through all this time.Thank God, the war has finally ended… but our suffering hasn’t.In fact, it has just begun — the struggle to rebuild our lives, to provide a decent life for our children, and to restore the future that was stolen from us.During the war, my wife gave birth to our baby girl, Masa, amid crisis and famine.Although the sounds of bombing have stopped, the cries of need remain — for shelter, food, water, and clothing. Prices are still unbearably high, and I have no source of income.That’s why I need your support now more than ever,to help me provide a dignified life for my family and rebuild what we’ve lost.

So please help me and donate 🙏

Hello 🙋

My name is Maram, I am 25 years old from Gaza. I dreamed of a peaceful life, spending my life with my husband and my three children... but the war turned this dream into an impossible one 💔😭. We lived through this genocide with all its painful details and we are still suffering from it😭. We were so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and we returned to our homes in northern Gaza after being displaced for a year and a half in a tent in the south of the Gaza Strip. After repairing a small room in our destroyed house, we began to live there and start over. Unfortunately, the war came back, and it was even stronger than before 💔. Now, we have no shelter or source of income. We have used up all our savings during the war. I know I created my campaign very late, but that's because I have no other means to help my family 🙏. I am completely confident and hopeful that someone here will help us as much as they can and save my family in these tough circumstances 😔.

I know how painful and frustrating it is to start over from scratch, but I hope to get any amount for my family 🥺🙏.

So, please, donate to my campaign, even if it's a small amount—it will have a big impact on us 🥺. May God bless you, my friend 🥰❤️.

Please don't ignore my story 🙏🌿

With great sadness and pain, I am writing this letter to ask for urgent help for my family who are suffering from harsh and difficult circumstances. Because of the war, we have lost everything beautiful in our lives: our home, our education, and our security. My children live in constant fear and anxiety due to the loss of their safe and stable environment.

We have tried our best to adapt to the current situation, but the difficulties we face make it difficult for us to secure the most basic needs of daily life. My children are deprived of education, which is a basic right for every child, and they are in dire need of an opportunity to build a better future. Without education, the hope of a decent life and a bright future becomes slim.

We are in dire need of your support and donations to rebuild our lives and provide security and stability for my children. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in improving our situation and securing a better future for us. We know that these are difficult times for everyone, but your generosity and support can help us overcome this crisis.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your understanding and support. We are grateful for all the help you give us.🇵🇸🇵🇸

🚨🚨Update: A Chance to Evacuate – We Need Your Help🚨

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨❗️❗️❗️❗️

Dear friends and supporters,

First, I want to thank everyone who has supported us so far. Your kindness and generosity have helped us survive.

Right now, we have a small but urgent hope: the Rafah crossing may open again in February. This could be our chance to escape the destruction and reach a safe place.

The reality is that even with the current ceasefire, life here is unbearable. We have lost everything. Our home was completely destroyed. We live in a tent exposed to cold and rain and struggle daily for basic survival.

Your support can make the difference between staying trapped in this devastation or escaping to a safe place to rebuild our lives. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to safety. Please, if you can, donate and share our story with your friends and family. Your kindness can help save lives.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
