Help Amal and Her Family Rebuild Their Lives in Gaza

Donation protected
My name is Amal, and I am a 50-year-old mother of five living in Gaza. For years, our home was a safe haven for my family, filled with love, warmth, and memories. But everything changed when the war reached us. Today, we live in a small tent, struggling to survive. My family has been displaced, and we have nothing left except each other. I am sharing my story with you, hoping you can help us rebuild our lives and give my children the future they deserve.

Our Story: A Life Turned Upside Down
Before the war, we lived a simple but happy life. Our small home may not have been much, but it was filled with laughter and the sounds of my children playing. My husband, who is 70 years old and in poor health, and I worked hard to provide for our family. Despite the challenges in Gaza, we always found ways to keep going. We never imagined that one day we would lose everything.


But then, the bombs came. One night, our home was struck, forcing us to flee with only the clothes on our backs. The place where we had built a lifetime of memories was reduced to rubble in seconds. We were left with no choice but to seek refuge in a tent, along with so many others who have lost their homes. The devastation is beyond words.


Our Situation After the War
Living in a tent is not a life anyone should endure. Every day is a fight for survival. I wake up early, joining long lines at bakeries providing aid, hoping to get enough bread to feed my children. I walk back to the tent, carrying bread that feels heavier with every step, knowing it’s far from enough to nourish them. My husband’s health is deteriorating, and we have no access to proper medical care.


At night, I sit at the entrance of our tent, looking at the stars, wondering how we will make it through another day. My children often ask me when we can go back to our home. I have no answers for them, but I promise them that one day, with God’s help and the kindness of people like you, we will rebuild.


Why We Need Your Help
We need your help to rebuild our home and restore some stability to our lives. The funds raised will go directly toward:

Building a safe home for my children and husband.
Providing basic necessities like food, clothing, and clean water.
Medical care for my husband, who desperately needs treatment.
Every donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference. It will help us move closer to a future where my children can feel safe again and where my family can live with dignity.


How Your Support Will Change Our Lives
Your generosity will not only rebuild our home but also restore hope to our family. It will allow my children to sleep without fear, my husband to receive the care he needs, and me to see my family thrive once more. This is more than just a donation, it’s a chance to give us back our lives and a sense of normalcy.


Imagine the joy on my children’s faces when they can finally sleep in a bed instead of on the cold ground. Your kindness will bring light to our darkest days and remind us that we are not alone.

How the Funds Will Be Spent
To ensure complete transparency, here’s how we plan to use the funds:
40% for rebuilding our home and creating a safe living space.
30% for food, clothing, and daily necessities for my family.
20% for medical expenses for my husband and children.
10% for education and essentials to help my children return to school and regain their sense of normalcy.



A Message of Hope and a Call to Action
I know the world feels overwhelming, and so many people are in need, but I believe in the power of compassion and kindness. Your support can change everything for my family. Every donation, share, and word of encouragement brings us closer to rebuilding our lives.

Please, if you’re able, consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign. Even $10 can make a world of difference. If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign with your friends and family could help us reach someone who can.

Let’s come together to show that even in the darkest times, humanity shines through. Your support means the world to us, and we are forever grateful for your kindness.
