Hi my name is Rana from Canada and I am helping Najwa and her beautiful family from Gaza with this gofundme so that they are able to raise money to help them rebuild their lives. Please share whatever you can, even $5 will go a long way for them.

This is their story

Hello, I am Najwa, a 35-year-old Palestinian from Gaza. I am a mother of three children: Hamoud, who is 10 years old, Layan, who is 9 years old, and Sundus, who is 3 years old. I used to work in a kindergarten, but the war took away our simplest rights, including my job, which I had to stop due to the living conditions here. My husband works as a fisherman, but with the war, fishermen have been prohibited from going to the sea to catch fish.

Now, our financial situation is dire. I can't find anything to provide for my children. Most days, we survive on canned food, and often, we don't even have access to clean drinking water. My children are suffering from the lack of food and have lost a lot of weight. They always wish to return to a normal life, but I am unable to do anything. I feel helpless towards my children.

I want to provide them with a safe and peaceful life, where they can have their rights to education, food, water, tranquility, and recreation. Your assistance would be life-saving for my children. Thank you very much.
