Hi everyone. We are helping fundraise for our friends Imad and Abeer in Gaza who desperately need your help to keep their two young children alive.

A new note from Imad about life in Gaza and how he and Abeer are trying all they can to provide for darling Reem and Adam - please support and share their story.

Update from Our Family

Dear friends,

I wanted to share a heartfelt update about our family.

We are still living in the same worn-out tent. Every day is another struggle to find clean water, food, medicine, and a safe place for our children. Sadly, nothing has become easier.

Adam became sick again. His cough returned, and we had to take him back to the hospital. The doctors advised us to restart his nebulizer treatments and medication. Although Adam is now 1 year and 7 months old, he still cannot walk. He has only recently started standing after suffering from severe malnutrition and nerve problems caused by the conditions of war.

My wife, Abeer, is now suffering from chickenpox while still doing everything she can to care for Adam and Reem. In a tent, there is no proper place to isolate, rest, or recover.

As for Reem, she continues to smile despite growing up in conditions that no child should ever have to endure. Her smile gives us hope, but it also breaks our hearts because this is the only life she has known.

Your generosity has helped our family survive through the darkest days of this war. Every donation, every share, and every kind message reminds us that we are not alone.

If you are able to support our family or share our fundraiser, you are giving our children a chance to keep going. Your kindness helps us provide food, medicine, clean water, diapers, and the basic necessities we cannot secure on our own.

Thank you for standing with us and believing that our children's lives matter.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Emad, Abeer, Reem & Adam ❤️

Original introduction from the family

My name is Imad, I am married to Abeer and we have three children.

Before the war, we lived in Rafah where I ran a small business to support my family. Today, I don’t even have a phone of my own — I am forced to rent one every day just to stay connected, while struggling to provide food for my children.

When the war started, my wife was pregnant with our daughter Heba. She was born sick and had to stay in the hospital. Tragically, the hospital was attacked and Heba lost her life there. Soon after, our home and business were destroyed. We were displaced, and months later, my wife gave birth to our son Adam while living in very difficult conditions.

Today, my wife suffers from malnutrition, and both Reem (my daughter) and Adam (my son) are also affected by lack of food and proper care. My greatest fear is losing more of my family, or being forcibly displaced again.

We urgently need protection, food, medical support, and someone who can help evacuate my family to safety.
