My name is Ruba Hammad, a single mother from Gaza.
I was a mother to three beautiful daughters:
Rania, Dina, and my youngest, Lana.
We lived a simple, quiet life, holding on to hope and dreaming of a safe and better future for my girls.
But everything changed in a single moment…
In August, during the war that began on October 7, an airstrike hit our home.
In that moment, I lost my two eldest daughters, Rania and Dina.
My world collapsed.
Only my infant daughter Lana survived —
Today, she is all I have left.

Lana – My Only Light
Since birth, Lana has suffered from chronic heart disease, and her condition has worsened severely due to the war.
She urgently needs:
Continuous medical care
Specialized heart medication
Proper nutrition that I can no longer provide due to the blockade and soaring prices
With border closures, medicine shortages, and lack of food, Lana’s health is deteriorating fast.
I’m doing everything I can, but it’s not enough.

Why I’m Asking for Help
I never imagined I would have to ask for help this way,
but I have no other option.
All I want is to save my only remaining child…
to not lose Lana like I lost her sisters.
Your donation can help me:
Get the medication and care Lana needs
Provide her with proper nutrition
And, if possible, seek medical treatment outside Gaza

From a Broken Mother’s Heart… to Yours
Lana is all I have left.
She is my hope, my heartbeat, my reason to keep going.
Please… help me save her.
