● Campaign Organizer 

Hello, my name is Mark Colley Churcher, and I live in Northampton in the United Kingdom. I am organizing this campaign to support Iman, a pregnant mother from Gaza currently in Khan Younis who has been displaced with her children due to the ongoing war. 

Iman is a close friend of mine, and I am helping her receive support safely through this GoFundMe campaign, so she can meet her family’s urgent needs during this critical time. 

This is her story:

● Iman’s Story from Gaza 

A testimony of a mother trying to survive in a collapsing world.

● Who I Am 

My name is Iman full name Iman Samir Al-Masri and my husbands name is Malek Mamoud Alyan. And I am writing to you not knowing whether I will wake up tomorrow with my children, or whether the night, with its terrifying sounds, will take us once again. 

I am a mother of three children, and I am carrying my fourth child in my womb. A baby who kicks me every night as if asking: 

“Mom… is there a safe place where I can be born?” 

I swear to you… I do not know the answer.

● Our Reality Today 

Since the beginning of the war, we have been running between destroyed places, carrying what remains of our lives with trembling hands. I left my home without taking anything… no clothes, no photos, no memories… even the walls of our house collapsed before my eyes while my children were screaming. 

Today, we live without shelter, without food, without medicine. My children fall asleep from exhaustion, not from comfort. 
 
And me… every night I place my hand on my belly, afraid: 

● that I will lose my baby before I meet her. 

● that I will give birth under bombardment. 

● or that she will be born hungry, like her siblings, whose eyes have been changed by hunger. 
 
Mohammed asks me: 

“Mom… if you die, what will we do?” 

Every time he repeats this question, something inside me collapses—something no one can heal. 
 
Ishraq clings to me tightly with every explosion, as if she fears her mother will suddenly disappear… 

And Saif cries from hunger, and I have nothing to give him except to cry with him. 
 
My husband, who was our only support, was injured during the war and is now unable to provide for us or even obtain his own treatment.

● Why I Am Asking for Help 

I am not asking for comfort. I am asking to stay alive. 

As my due date approaches, I fear giving birth without safety, without medical care, or even the most basic necessities. I fear that I am no longer able to protect my children on my own, or to support my injured husband by myself.

● How Your Donations Will Be Used 

● Providing food and drinking water, as prices have become extremely high, and there are days when we are unable to secure enough food for my children, who are suffering from malnutrition. 

● Securing the needs of my unborn baby, including milk, diapers, and clothing, in addition to clothing and essential supplies for me as a new mother. 

● Purchasing clothing, mattresses, and winter blankets that we desperately lack, especially with the harsh winter already beginning, as we are unable to sleep due to the absence of these basics. 

● Providing the necessary medications for my husband, who was injured during the war, amid the high cost of treatment and the difficulty of obtaining it. 

● Buying basic cooking utensils and washing tools suitable for human use, after we lost everything since the beginning of the war. 

● Purchasing a tent and protective tarps to shield my children from the severe winter cold, as our current place of shelter is unfit for human life. 

I will receive your donations via IBAN international bank transfer to my bank The Bank of Palestine.

● A Mother’s Plea Every day my children ask me for food, and on some days I have no answer.

I am a displaced, pregnant mother from Gaza, and this campa

gn is our last hope to survive. in a collapsing world. I beg you a thousand times—not for money, but for life itself. 

For my three children who cling to me as if I am their last door to safety. 

For my unborn child, whom I fear will enter a world unfit for birth. 

And for my injured husband, helpless before his children. 
 
I need your support. I need someone to feel this pain, someone to see that I fight every day so I do not lose any of them—and do not lose myself. 

Please, help me protect them. And if you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign may save lives. 
 
Thank you for reading. 

Thank you for your compassion. 

Thank you for giving us hope.
