Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive

A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety

Hello, I am Rehab Shamia from a family of 4 members.

We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair.

light of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, we went through very difficult circumstances. We were displaced several times. We lost our house, which I had paid for with all my savings, to the enemy's bombs shortly after our first displacement. We lost all the beautiful things that my family and I used to enjoy, and the most difficult beautiful thing we lost was safety in peace, due to the violent bombing that surrounded us in all the places to which we fled.

to say the least, our days were difficult, as there were no viable sources of employment to obtain the money we needed to meet our needs.

Our situation is especially dire because my wife was born in the war, I have an infant and a 5-year-old and we are still stuck in a tent where there is no healthy food, no medicine, no water and no electricity. During the process of displacement, we lost the stable and recreational life that we used to live with me, the family, and the child, Ayham, who lost all the toys that he loved and played with all the time, and was deprived of the beautiful

childhood that he lived in the first days of his childhood. My wife, who is constantly tired and exhausted,

moving from one tent to another, is slowly sliding towards despair. Every nature of life, from a beautiful house to a tent in the middle of the street, a place to sleep. I need your help in raising money to leave the Gaza Strip.

need to raise money to restore a beautiful life and stability outside the Gaza Strip Everything I tell leaves only a small amount of the suffering we are experiencing. Below is a glimpse of the contrast between our lives before the aggression and the nightmare we've been enduring since it began. Thank you for your support and solidarity

Please do not hesitate to donate to me and my family. A small donation from you makes a big difference.

🌟 A Plea from Gaza: Rola’s Story 🌟

Hello, my name is Rola, and I am a mother of two children living in the Gaza Strip. Our lives were once filled with love, laughter, and dreams for the future. But everything changed on October 7th, when the war shattered not only our home but our entire world.

That morning, my family and I were enjoying coffee together on the balcony. Out of nowhere, an explosion erupted, shaking our home violently. My husband and son ran for cover, falling over each other in panic, while I stood frozen, still holding my cup, unable to process the chaos around me. When I looked out the window, I saw that our neighbor’s house, once filled with life, had been reduced to rubble. Ambulances rushed to the scene as people scrambled to rescue the injured and pull bodies from the debris.

The bombings didn’t stop. At night, the rain poured heavily, and the cold seeped into our bones. I stayed awake, covering my children to keep them warm and praying for their safety. But safety is an illusion here. Another explosion shattered the night, and our neighbors’ home was destroyed. Their children, who had been sleeping peacefully under a blanket, were found lifeless, their cover soaked in blood.

I looked at my children with tears in my eyes and thought, How can I protect you? We had to flee our home with nothing but the clothes on our backs. We left behind my children’s toys, their clothes, and their beautiful bedroom. Everything we had worked so hard to build is gone.

Our Current Reality Now, we are displaced and living in a nightmare. Food is scarce, and prices are unimaginably high—$10 for a kilo of sugar! The fear of death hangs over us constantly. My children deserve a life of joy and hope, not one defined by fear and loss. Why can’t we live like everyone else—go to work, visit family, and watch our children play in safety? Why do our children have to grow up surrounded by death and destruction?

How You Can Help I am pleading for your kindness to help us rebuild our lives. We need your support to: 💔 Rebuild our home, so my children can feel safe again. 🌍 Evacuate from Gaza, seeking a future where my family can live with dignity. 🩺 Provide urgent medical care for my children, who need protection from this nightmare.

Even the smallest donation can make a difference. If you can’t donate, please share my story. Every share brings us closer to hope.

What Your Support Means Your kindness is not just about helping us survive; it’s about giving us a chance to dream again. To rebuild what we’ve lost and to ensure my children have a future filled with possibilities, not fear.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support means the world to us. Let’s work together to rebuild hope, one step at a time.

🌸 Please share our story and consider donating today. 🌸

Together, we can create a better tomorrow. 🌍❤️

Hi friends!

I'm taking a really big step for my mental health in April. I'm finally getting top surgery! So much of my life has been defined by gender dysphoria and it's time for that to stop so that I can finally live.

I really wish I had the means to do this alone, but healthcare in this country sucks. I'm working so hard to cover the costs for every doctor's appointment, every therapist appointment, every psychiatrist appointment already so any assistance you can give, even if it's just a reblog, would mean the world to me.

Thank you all so much for the continued support over all these years. Believe it or not, my very first gender affirmation came from inside this fandom. The world can be such a beautiful place sometimes 💙

DONATE HERE IF YOU'RE ABLE

Love,

Eli

as some might know, i've been laid off from work and i still haven't been able of finding a new job. it's been practically two months now and my rent is coming up again. i've been trying my best to not give up (because i have a full scholarship), but if this month things don't work out, i'll drop uni and come back to my parent's home.

so, if you can help in any way, donating or reblogging, i'll be eternally grateful. i feel terrible for doing this again, but i don't have any option left. my p*aypal is ianalsvn@gmail.com

thank you!

I am mahmoud abo hamam , a Palestinian engineer from Gaza.

[Picture of mahmoud before the war in his clinic]

I have hesitated and delayed for a long time to write these words and create an account on GoFundMe, but the need has become very urgent due to what I see of death approaching myself and my family.

To begin our story, it is important to introduce my family, who are the core of my existence and the source of my strength during these turbulent times:

We are a family of four suffering for over 9 months from a brutal war that spares neither humans nor stones.‼️

MOTHER : My mother lost all of her family in this war, starting with my uncle Amer, his wife, and his children, who rose in the belt of fire over the city of Tal al-Hawa, then my other uncle and my other aunt died!! I don't know how my mother's heart can be patient with this affliction, but I ask God to give her patience and strength

FATHER : My father also made many sacrifices when he lost his home and his job as a teacher, and his nephew was martyred at the beginning of the war. He is also strong and patient 🙏🏼

BROTHER : My brother Muhammad, who remained in northern Gaza, struggling with hunger, killing and destruction, also lost his place of work and many, many of his friends died

SISTER : As for my spoiled sister, she lived the war while carrying the entire house on her shoulders. She lived the war from displacement to displacement and from tent to tent

ME : As for me, Mahmoud, I also lost my studies after the occupation destroyed my university. I created this campaign to compensate us for a little of the damage we experienced. What we experienced is priceless at any price, but today I am asking you for a small donation of $10 that may contribute to saving us and our family from disappointment and the hell of war. We lived to build a new home for ourselves and the beginning of a new and beautiful life

I have lost the lives of my dearest friends, neighbors, and much of what I loved.

[Pictures of the destroyed house]

After all the harsh circumstances we have been through, horrific events, but they will not destroy us, but rather they will make us stronger. I and my family saw death. Repeatedly, beginning in Al-Shati camp, where we live, then after that in Al-Shifa Hospital, to which we were displaced, and then, and then, passing through Khan Yunis, where the occupation did not leave a single house, and finally in Rafah, from which we were forced out a month ago. We are now living in a tent in Mawasi Khan Yunis, in harsh conditions. It is very difficult due to the summer heat, food shortages and water scarcity.

Photo: Mahmoud and his family's tent when they were displaced to Al-Shifa Hospital.

Photo: Hamad Towers being bombed, taken by Mahmoud.

Photo: Construction of their new tent in Mawasi Khan Yunis

But I ask you for your help, assistance and donation in rebuilding our destroyed house and our hidden dreams. Our house was completely destroyed and needs complete restoration, so I ask you for $25,000 USD to help with the restoration and start a new life after the end of this war... with all my respect and appreciation.

Mahmoud Gaza family🙏🏼💘

While the world celebrates the new year with lights, joy, and warmth, we in Gaza are trapped in darkness and terror. No decorations, no festivities—only the deafening roar of planes and bombings shattering the silence of our nights.

In fragile tents and broken shelters, we fight to survive the biting cold and the devastation that surrounds us. The rain seeps through, the wind cuts deep, and yet, somehow, we cling to hope.

You are our last lifeline—don’t leave us to face this nightmare alone. Your kindness can be the light that breaks through this darkness and the warmth that saves us from despair.

Even a small donation—€5 or €10—could mean food for a child, warmth for a family, or a glimpse of safety in this endless fear.

Please, don’t turn away. Help us. Your support is the only thing standing between us and the abyss

Donate here to save my family and bring a glimmer of hope amidst this darkness

i think about this article more often then i would like to admit. they're talking about murdering a child in a tone one would probably talk about the weather.

palestinian children dream about not having to hear bombs and living in peace and going to school and playing with their friends and being able to grow up.

they've killed so many children in the last 14 months. so many families have been torn apart, so many dreams shattered, yet people are moving on.

how does one move on from what the occupation is doing in gaza? how does one move on from the genocide that is being paid for by our governments using our tax money?

please, i request you to donate to alaa, a mother of two young children. she lives in gaza with her family in a tent which does not offer much protection from the cold. she needs to buy firewood to keep her family warm.
