My name is Doaa, and together with my husband Sameh, we are fighting for survival in the Gaza Strip. For 11 long years, our home was filled with prayers and tears as we waited for a child to complete our lives. Finally, our miracle arrived: a baby girl we named Hayat—which means 'Life.' She was our light, our reward for a decade of patience.

​But Hayat’s world changed when she was only months old. Since October 7th, the laughter in our home has been replaced by the roar of explosions. Our house, where we built our dreams, is now nothing but dust.

​We have been displaced multiple times, fleeing with nothing but Hayat in our arms. Now, we face a different kind of war: the war of hunger and disease. Clean water is a luxury, and basic necessities like baby formula and medicine are nearly impossible to find or afford due to skyrocketing prices.

​How your support will help:

We are reaching out to you, not just for us, but for Hayat. Your donations will go directly towards:

​Essential Supplies: Baby formula, diapers, and clean drinking water for Hayat.

​Medical Care: Securing urgent medicine and healthcare for our daughter.

​Shelter & Safety: Helping us find a safer place and provide basic warmth and food for our family.

​Please help us protect our miracle. Help us keep the meaning of her name alive. Every donation, no matter how small, is a lifeline for Hayat
