I’m Hanan from Gaza — a mother of three and the wife of a simple man.
We once lived a quiet, ordinary life in a modest home.
It wasn’t big, it wasn’t fancy — but it was our paradise.
We didn’t have much, but we had what mattered most:
Safety. Comfort. Peace of mind.
We dreamed of a better tomorrow, and we made plans for our children’s future — just like any other family.
But everything changed in a single moment.
________________________________________
The war came without warning.
Suddenly… explosions. Blood. Screams. Destruction everywhere.
Years of effort, love, and memories were reduced to dust and rubble.
We fled with nothing — just our children in our arms and terror in our hearts.
I held Yamen close to my chest as we ran, desperate to find shelter.
I turned around and saw torn bodies, a screaming woman who had lost her legs, and a lifeless child in the arms of his mother.
I tried to cover my children’s eyes. But how can you hide this reality?
These images are now part of our days… and our nightmares.
"We were forcibly displaced from our home, taking nothing with us but fear and tears.
We moved from the horrors of war to the harshness of displacement, where no roof or walls protect us."
________________________________________
Today, we live in inhumane conditions.
The sun scorches my children’s faces by day.
Mosquitoes bite them all night.
We sleep on the ground. We drink contaminated water.
And food? Only if we’re lucky.
• Yara suffers from bedwetting due to trauma and the lack of clean water.
• Yamen trembles at the slightest sound.
• Mohammed hasn’t been to school in months. He doesn’t dream anymore — he only asks me:
“Mama, when will we go back to our home?”
And I have no answer…
________________________________________
Right now, our only focus is survival.
We’re not asking for luxury — we’re asking for the bare minimum:
• Clean drinking water
• One daily meal for our children
• Basic medical care
• Shelter from the sun
• A safe place to live
• A small glimmer of hope that someone, somewhere, still cares

That’s why I’m launching this humanitarian campaign.
My goal is to raise $100,000 to provide:
Daily Essentials:
• Clean drinking water
• Water for washing and hygiene
• Food to feed my children
• Milk for infants
• Diapers
• Gas for cooking
• Supplies for pregnant women
• A safe place to live
• Support for travel and relocation for me, my husband, and our kids
Medical & Psychological Support:
• Trauma therapy for the children
• Medical care for conditions caused by poor living conditions
Assistance with evacuation or safe relocation

Every contribution makes a difference:
A life saved
A child comforted
A mother able to hope again
No amount is too small.
Even a few dollars can bring light to our darkness and restore our dignity.
From my heart… please don’t leave us alone under the burning sun and the shadow of death.
