A Plea for Peace: Help Us Find a Safe Tomorrow 🕊️

Dear supporters,

I am Mohammed, a father, husband, and survivor in Gaza. Every day, my family and I wake up not knowing what the future holds. The conflict has turned our once-peaceful home into a place of constant danger and fear. My heart breaks for my three young children: Mira, Bakr, and Maria, who have never known what it’s like to live without the shadow of war over their heads. 💔

Despite the devastation around us, we have hope, a fragile, flickering light that keeps us going. But hope alone is not enough. We need help to escape the destruction that surrounds us and build a future where my children can experience safety, security, and the simple joys of childhood.

The decision to leave Gaza hasn’t been easy. We love our home, our community, but the reality is, staying here means putting my children’s lives in constant danger. We are determined to find a way out, to create a new beginning somewhere free from violence, where my children can laugh without fear and sleep without the sound of bombs.

We cannot do this alone. We are asking for help to start over, to find a place where we can live, work, and rebuild the dreams that the war has taken from us.

Your kindness could be the key to helping us reach safety. By contributing, you are giving my family a chance to escape the chaos and rebuild our lives in peace. Every bit of support helps, whether it’s sharing our story or making a donation.

This is not just about surviving, it’s about giving my children a chance to live the life they deserve. 🙏

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and for any support you can offer. Your compassion can help us leave behind the devastation and look toward a brighter future. ❤️

With all our gratitude,

Mohammed and family

going to put this very bluntly - please both donate to and reblog mohammad and shaima's fundraiser. they are stuck in khan younis. we all know that the hospitals in khan younis are not functioning right now, because israel deliberately targeted and destroyed them. salma, wafaa's niece who is a puny 5 years old, was turned away by medical aid in gaza, because they had nothing left. she is now suffering from rashes and an intestinal infection. she is five years old. she is five years old, suffering from rashes and an infection. she cried on her birthday. please donate and reblog. please don't ignore this because you think someone else is bound to donate. everyone is thinking that and passing this fundraiser without giving it a second glance. these children are suffering. please donate however much you can and reblog.

at the start of every month everyone reblogs some insane poetry that’s like “august has arrived and again I swallow my bones in the burning sun” and every time I’m like damn that makes no sense. but kind of true.
