Hello Dear Humanity,

I am Mariam from Gaza, a wife, and a mother of three children. One of whom is a 7-year diabetic kid. I have previously survived five wars aggressions on Gaza. The latest was in 2021 when I was three months pregnant with twins. Now, my twin children are two years old and have faced the worst days of their lives, being twice in danger of injury, not having even their basics such as (diapers, milk, and medical check-ups, drugs, and clean water and food), regarding the TRUMA.

Here goes our story- as the whole Gaza Strip is witnessing a genocide now, my family and I evacuated from the north of Gaza to the south of Gaza after most of my neighborhood houses at AlNaser ST were bombed and destroyed by air strikes. We ran into the streets, leaving everything in our houses—clothes, some official documents—that were lately targeted and bombed into aches.

My husband’s income

My husband’s work is an English teacher at a Christian school, where most of his school was bombed and destroyed. Accordingly, he lost his only income, and now we are losing our safety by not having money to save my kids’ needs.

My Diabetic Kid & A Desperate Mother’s Cry

My heart breaks for my dear 7-year son, Kenan. Every day is a battle, watching him fight diabetes in a place where even the basics feel out of reach. The shortage of insulin here in Gaza makes each moment more painful.

I've spent endless nights, begging with all my heart for a solution. My sweet Kenan deserves a shot at a healthy life, away from the darkness of conflict. I've shared our story, pouring my soul into every plea for help, hoping that someone, somewhere, hears our desperate cry.

The world can be so distant and harsh, but my love for Kenan fuels a fire within me that won't be put out. I dream of a day when we can leave this place, if only for a while, to get the medicine he so desperately needs. A fundraising campaign might be our only hope, a light in the chaos that surrounds us.

I plead with the world to see my pain, to feel the heaviness of a mother's despair, and to lend a hand. Help us gather the resources to leave Gaza, to get the care Kenan deserves. Every little bit isn't just a donation; it's a lifeline for my son, a chance for a brighter tomorrow. Please, help us rewrite our story, one filled with hope and healing.

A Big Dream of a Scientist (TESLA)

(Kenan's Electrical Circuits Drawings)

Kenan, my determined son, dreams of a future filled with exciting discoveries in electricity. Despite the tough times we face, he holds onto the idea of becoming a scientist who understands currents and circuits, bringing light to dark corners in Gaza.

The struggle to find insulin in our unstable surroundings puts a cloud over Kenan’s dreams. The uncertainty, lack of resources, and constant fight for survival make it hard for his aspirations to grow.

The absence of a safe place, away from conflict, makes Kenan’s dreams shaky. It's tough as a mom to see these challenges weighing on him, possibly taking away the chance for his bright ideas to shine.

Kenan’s potential and his dreams of contributing to science shouldn't be overshadowed by our tough circumstances. A plea for help goes out not just for his health but for the bright future he envisions. The world needs to understand that a young mind with dreams of discovery shouldn't be held back by today's troubles. Let's work together to create a safer tomorrow where Kenan’s dreams can thrive. These are some wonders and questions of my dearest Kenan:

My son, Kenan, is always asking me why we are supposed to be living through this massacre. "I dream of being a scientist like Tesla and living in a safe home with no bombings or killings," he said. "Why did they bomb my school, mom? he added. My son couldn’t even imagine that his school was bombed, as he wants to be a scientist in electricity. YES! He has a big dream.
