Help Marwa Family

My life used to feel like a beautifully woven tapestry: a warm home, a loving family, and the simple joys of togetherness. Each day was a blessing, filled with love, laughter, and hope for a brighter future. We were grateful for the peace we had, never imagining how quickly it could all be torn apart.

But on October 7th, everything changed.

Our home in Gaza was bombed, reducing it to rubble in the blink of an eye. The safety, memories, and warmth that once defined our lives were gone. In the chaos, we fled to southern Gaza with nothing but the clothes on our backs, stepping into a life of unimaginable hardship.

I lost two of my beloved sisters and their children in the bombing. Their absence has left a wound in my heart that will never heal. To make matters worse, another sister and her children remain trapped in northern Gaza, where I cannot reach them. I don’t know if they’re safe—or even alive. This uncertainty weighs on me every single day.

Now, I live with my husband and three children in a makeshift tent. This tent offers no protection from the blistering summer heat, the biting winter cold, or the relentless rain that seeps through its fragile fabric. It’s not a home—it’s a constant reminder of what we’ve lost.

We lack the basic necessities:

Clean water

Enough food to nourish my children

Access to healthcare when we fall ill

Despite this, God gave me a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. During the war, I gave birth to my daughter, Wateen, who joined her siblings, Bassam and Leen, as beacons of light in these trying times. My children are my strength, my reason to wake up every day and keep fighting for a better future.

But I can’t do it alone.

Why I’m Asking for Your Help

We need a safe place to live—a proper shelter to protect us from the elements. We need food to fill our stomachs and clean water to quench our thirst. We need medical care to stay healthy and give my children a chance to grow up strong.

Your donation can make a life-changing difference for my family.

$20 can provide clean drinking water for a week.

$50 can help us buy essential food supplies.

$100 can contribute toward a better shelter, protecting us from the harsh weather.

Any amount will bring us closer to safety and hope.
