From a Cold Tent- Help Um Yousef and Her Family Survive

My name is Namir, a Palestinian mother displaced from Gaza, known as Um Yousef. I’m writing to you from a place of pain — from a cold tent in southern Gaza where I’ve been living with my children for over a year after losing our home and everything we had in the war. I am the sole provider for my family. One of my children, Mohammed, suffers from epilepsy and needs continuous medical care. Every day is a struggle — to find food, clean water, and basic medicine — not to mention the freezing cold that keeps us awake at night inside this fragile tent. This campaign was created with the help of my dear friend Emily, who stood by my side and helped me set up this GoFundMe link after hearing my story and seeing our desperate situation. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in our lives — it can provide us with warm shelter, medicine for Mohammed, or even just a meal to feed my children. Please, don’t leave us alone. Help a family destroyed by war stand again.

Help us reach safety and escape Gaza. The situation here has become unbearable — chaotic, harsh, and life-threatening.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who extends a hand of compassion.

With love and prayers,

Namir – Um Yousef
