My name is Tarik Elkhouli, and I am based in Canada. I am reaching out to help my cousin and her young family in Gaza during this incredibly difficult time.

Her story:

Hello, my name is Rana, and I am 28 years old. My husband, Issa, is 33 years old. We are the parents of two beautiful daughters: Sarah, who is 7 years old, and Maryam, who is 4 years old.

Our life was once simple and full of hope, but the war has changed everything. We have lost our sense of safety and stability, and even the most basic necessities such as food, clean water, and medical care have become extremely difficult to obtain.

Every day, our children wake up hoping for a meal and a chance to live a normal childhood. Sarah dreams of continuing her education and playing with her friends again, while little Maryam is too young to understand why life has become so difficult.

Today, we are asking for your support as our family faces severe hardship caused by war and hunger. Your donations will help us provide food, essential supplies, medical care, and a safer future for our daughters.

No contribution is too small. Every donation can make a real difference in our lives. If you are unable to donate, sharing our story with others would mean the world to us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this difficult time.

With gratitude,

Rana, Issa, Sarah, and Maryam ❤️
