Today I woke up to a terrifying message from my baby Qais’s doctor. He told me Qais’s wound will keep bleeding pus and blood unless his surgery is done urgently. I will not forgive anyone who scrolls past and keeps browsing without sharing my post.
I am a helpless mother in Gaza. I cannot afford the surgery or the medication. Every donation, no matter how small, could stop this bleeding and save my child’s life. Please donate for Qais.
Please don’t scroll past us in this critical moment; even a small share or donation could ease suffering and give Qais another chance.
This is Qais holding his medicine instead of toys, pain written on his face. Please don’t look away—donate now your donation can replace suffering with healing and give my child a real chance to live. 💔
Donations have completely stopped, almost nonexistent, and my baby’s medicine is running out. I am begging you—please donate now so I can buy his treatment and stop his suffering today.
Every hour without medicine deepens Qais’s pain and infection. I am watching my child suffer while help stays silent. Please don’t wait—donate now so I can buy his medicine and protect his life.
I sit beside Qais cleaning his wound again, knowing I cannot heal him alone. The pain is unbearable to watch. Please help me buy his medicine—donate now and give my baby relief and hope.
This could be our last hope… 💔
I’m Aya, a 20-year-old girl from Gaza.The bombs may have stopped, but the hunger and fear haven’t. My baby brother desperately needs milk, and I have nothing left to give him. We are surrounded by destruction, with no income, no safety, no future. Your help can keep us alive. Even $5 makes a difference.
Please If you can’t donate, please reblog it could reach someone who can.🙏🏽 😭
For two days no one has donated to me. Please donate to me. 😭

If you’ve ever wanted to donate to me, here’s a more worthy cause.
This holiday season, please consider supporting Dahnoun Mutual Aid’s campaign to provide winter clothes and blankets in Gaza.

Save me and my children 🥺💔🙏
Hello everyone 👋
I’m Hassan from Gaza 🍉🇵🇸
I’m married and have two daughters 🧑🍼 We’re currently living in a tent after the occupation destroyed our home 💔⛺
Our tent has flooded due to the rain, and we desperately need safe shelter. My children can’t bear this hardship 💔🥺
Please share my story as widely as possible 🙏
And please donate if you can to help save my children 🙏

As the new year begins, I sit inside our cold tent and ask myself:
Do I even have the right to dream?
A small home. A safe roof. Warmth that feels like the homes we lost.
But the reality is heavier than my strength, and the war has taken away our choices and our time.
In this new year, I am not asking for the impossible.
Maybe my wishes will come true.
Maybe my children will grow up remembering that someone stood by them in their darkest days.
We are still dreaming, despite everything.
And we still believe that kindness has not disappeared.🙏

‼️🚨Urgent appeal, very IMPORTANT 🚨‼️
🔴Farah urgently needs your support to undergo speech therapy sessions, behavioral therapy, and visual and auditory communication therapy.🙏🏻🥹
🆘Don’t be stingy with her; these sessions are expensive, but they are essential.begging you to give a chance at a better life. I’m not asking for the impossible; I just need your humanity.😭🙏🏻💔
⚠️‼️Is there anything more genuine than my poor girl’s tears? Don’t let her down. It’s my right to try to address her mental disability too. I’m a mother, and my heart breaks for her.
🛑My child makes unintelligible sounds, trying to express herself through screams. Doesn’t your conscience stir, oh human being? How can you lay your head on the pillow to sleep with my daughter’s cries echoing in your mind, without offering a helping hand? Search for humanity in your souls. I am a mother whose heart breaks for her. It is not enough that she is unaware of the death that surrounds her, whether from a sudden cardiac arrest due to potassium deficiency or from facing the symptoms of viral diseases. Every day I wake up with a deferred hope for Farah’s survival Make patience a roof One of the dreams is to see her playing, laughing, and talking someday.😭💔
🟥People with disabilities in Gaza endure double the suffering and endless patience, as they face the biting cold of winter and constant hunger in a dilapidated tent. Their options have dwindled, and their bodies are failing, but this failure lies not in their physical condition, but in a world that remains silent.
No one can truly imagine the scenes and images of destruction, bombing, devastation, health failures, and environmental pollution unless they experience it firsthand, and that is something we would not wish on anyone.
My children are sick because of the harsh winter and the viruses spreading every day. Every day brings new expenses – water, milk, diapers, and medicine, the most important of which now is antibiotics – and all of this requires money. There is nothing more painful than having your children suffer.All you have is love - but there is no way to give them safety and health.
🟥🫂My hope is that generous souls will stand by us and donate, even a little. Every contribution is a seed of hope for my child to speak and survive.🙏🏻🙏🏻
In closing my remarks about our suffering, I will thank you, and especially the humanitarian butterfly. @oediex 💗🦋♥️

💥This is my son Abdullah. I gave birth to him after 10 years of waiting. He came after I had four daughters. He’s suffering from a sore throat, severe flu symptoms, and pneumonia due to cooking smoke. He tries to help me when I prepare their food. I need to buy him medicine. Please help me. Be compassionate and kind to my family. Thank you. 🫂🙏🏻😭
🛑Please take action for Farah. She needs her chronic kidney medication for this month, antibiotics, and to be registered for therapy sessions. It’s not enough; she’s battling kidney failure. Please rise up! I need your humanity more than ever. Thank you to everyone who is taking action now.🙏🏻😭🙏🏻
I’m writing these words with a heavy heart and a sense of shame…
It’s not easy for a doctor and pharmacist who has dedicated their life to serving people to reach out and ask for help, but circumstances are harsher than any pride.
My pharmacy was completely destroyed by the war,
and my home wasn’t spared either… and I no longer have any source of income to support myself and my family.
I was forced to reopen a simple pharmacy, a tent,
offering no protection from the winter cold or the rain,
and with the recent storms, the tent itself was ruined,
and I continue to work in unbearable conditions,
but only because I don’t know how to stop or give up.
The situation is extremely difficult… and the need is dire,
and the hardest thing is the feeling of abandonment,
when you feel alone,
and that many of the people you stood by didn’t stand by you in this time.
I’m not asking for luxury,
nor anything more than what’s necessary.
I’m asking for a life of dignity and a chance to get back on my feet.
Whoever can help, even a little,
may God reward them on behalf of me and my family.
And whoever can’t, please share this post.
Forgive me… The pain is immense,
and the need is greater than silence.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

My name is Motasem from Gaza 🇵🇸🍉,
a father to a small child who asks nothing from this world except the most basic needs for his family—milk for my baby and safety.🥺
Today, I am unemployed, living a harsh reality after our homes were destroyed and we were stripped of the simplest necessities of life.
My child urgently needs baby milk and diapers, and I am unable to provide them amid extreme prices, siege, and destruction.
Gaza can no longer endure this suffering, and its children are paying the heaviest price.
Any support, no matter how small, can make a real difference in the life of an innocent child.
From a heart weighed down with pain, I reach out my hand to you… hoping that compassion can still find its way to us.

We are so grateful to everyone who supported us while my sister was in the hospital. Thanks to your prayers and kindness, she is finally home and slowly getting better.🙏💗
But now, we are facing a desperate situation. Our landlord has given us only two weeks to pay the rent of $1,500 or we will have nowhere to go. The weather is bitterly cold, my elderly parents cannot withstand it, and my sister is still too weak to face any stress.😔💔
We don’t know what else to do, and we are turning to you with hope in our hearts. Every single donation, no matter how small, will help us keep a roof over our heads and give my family safety and warmth. Please, help us today , your support can save us from the streets and give us hope in this very difficult time.🙏😔💔

I sat down to light a fire to warm my children, but the rain was pouring heavily. The wood got soaked and would no longer catch fire.
My little ones were shivering in front of me, helpless and weak. All I had were a few matchsticks… and the clothes I wore.
I won’t deny that for a moment I thought about taking off my jacket and burning it to warm them, but that jacket was all I had.
I looked at my wife; she was shaking violently, her lips turning blue from the biting cold. I tried to cover her and the children with a thin, worn-out blanket, but the winter’s chill was stronger.
In that moment, I felt completely powerless, the reality here in Gaza is more than I can bear alone.
Suddenly, an idea came to me: in a dilapidated shack behind our camp, covered with tin and zinc, we started running and racing because the heat generated by movement could give us some temporary warmth.
We played, laughed, and warmed their small bodies, if only for a little while.
My wife whispered to me, “Will we soon be able to rent a warm home where our children feel true warmth?”
Today, we are doing everything we can to rent a small, warm home for our children, but we are still short of the amount needed. Financially, this is the biggest obstacle standing between us and leaving the tent.
To everyone who read our story, we invite you to be part of this hope. Please help us so that soon we can tell you a different story, the story of our children in a home, after losing our house to the war and living in a tent on the streets with our four kids.
Please help us give warmth to these four children. The cold is harsh on them, and they are often sick, coughing and running fevers because of the weather. Your support can truly change this reality. Please don’t hesitate.
Please do what you can to help! This fundraiser is vetted
I’m trying to be gentle and calm in conveying our need for help, but we truly desperately need it. Even the smallest person who sees this can contribute a lot by not ignoring the post; simply sharing or liking it will raise the post’s visibility to others who might donate.
