Help Riri Family to survive harsh war in Gaza

Your help will make us stronger to survive cold the harsh war conditions in Gaza ...

My name is Riri, and I’m a mother of four children—three sons and one daughter. We live in Gaza, though “living” feels like the wrong word to describe it. Since October 7, my family has been uprooted four times. Each time we were forced to flee, we left behind more of what little we had. Now, all we have left is each other.

While the rest of the world goes on with their daily routines—going to work, sitting down to warm meals, and tucking their children into comfortable beds—we are struggling just to stay alive. My children sleep on the cold ground, hungry and scared. There isn’t enough food to fill their stomachs, enough water to keep them hydrated, or enough warmth to shield them from the biting winter cold.

Our home was destroyed in the bombing. It wasn’t much, but it was something that was ours—a place where my children felt safe, where we shared laughter and love. Now, all that’s left is rubble, and I don’t know how to rebuild. My children ask me questions I can’t answer: “Why did this happen to us?” “When can we go home?” “Will it ever get better?”

I am a mother with nowhere else to turn. I am asking for your help to keep my family alive. Every dollar you give will go directly toward:

• Food and water: We need basic provisions to ease my children’s hunger and keep them hydrated.

• Warm clothing and blankets: The cold nights are unbearable, and we desperately need warmth.

• Safe shelter: We need a stable tent or other shelter to protect us from the elements and violence.

• Medical care: My children need access to medicine and treatment for illnesses caused by displacement and harsh conditions.

• Hygiene supplies: Soap, diapers, and sanitary items are essential for dignity and health.

This fundraiser is solely for survival—there are no administrative costs, no taxes, and no middlemen. Every cent goes directly to my family and our urgent needs.

While the rest of the world moves forward, our lives are stuck in a cycle of fear and survival.

Your kindness could break that cycle. It could give my children a chance to dream again, to feel safe again.

From the depths of my heart, thank you for helping us. Your support means everything to a mother like me, who just wants her children to see a better day.
