My name is Bara'ah Taysir Al-Awour, and I am a mother living in Gaza, Palestine, striving to survive with my baby boy Wajeeh and my husband under the relentless threat of war and hunger. I'm reaching out from Deir al-Balah, where we are currently displaced and enduring incredibly harsh conditions.

The recent events have utterly devastated my family. I tragically lost my father and my sister due to the Israeli bombardment. My mother is now alone, with no one to lean on, and I, too, am left with only my precious baby and my husband. We have no source of income, no safe shelter, and not even the most basic necessities for life.

My baby Wajeeh, who is just 6 months old, is suffering immensely. He often has no milk or diapers and frequently cries himself to sleep from hunger. Every day, I wake to his cries, heartbroken that I can't provide him with his most basic needs: clean water, food, warmth, and proper hygiene. We are facing a real famine here in Gaza. I'm doing everything I can, but securing food and essential supplies under this siege has become almost impossible.

Why I Need Your Help (How Funds Will Be Used)

Your urgent support will go directly to helping my immediate family – myself, my baby boy Wajeeh, and my husband – survive this catastrophic situation. The funds raised will be used exclusively for:

* Purchasing essential baby supplies: This includes milk formula and diapers for my baby Wajeeh.

* Providing food and clean water: For our daily survival, covering basic groceries and access to potable water.

* Securing basic shelter and necessities: To help us cover minimal costs for a safe place to rest (e.g., tent supplies, modest shelter fees if available) and other critical items like blankets, hygiene products, and basic medical supplies.

How Funds Will Reach Us

To ensure transparency and direct support, all donations will first be transferred to a trusted friend's account outside Gaza. My friend will then directly transfer the funds to me in Gaza. I will provide documentation of all transfers to GoFundMe upon request, ensuring complete accountability.

Your Impact

Any donation—no matter how small—can help keep my baby Wajeeh alive and safe, and provide a glimmer of hope for my family in these darkest of times. Your help means the world to us. Please stand with us and help me protect my son from hunger and cold.

May God bless you for your kindness and humanity.
