Hello. My name is Natalie. I am a British Citizen living in Canada. My family and I are helping our friends, Ahmed and Heba, raise money for food, water, and other basic necessities in Gaza. Ahmed and Heba are expecting their first child in the coming months. Heba has been suffering from vitamin deficiencies due to a complete lack of food, water, and basic medicines resulting from the blocakde of aid into Gaza. Ahmed has been injured several times trying to secure what little aid there is available, and risks his life each time. I have known this family for over 2 years through my friend Jenn Grant, who has fundraised tirelessly for Gaza, helping to establish the English Language Tent (ELT) - now the Al Salam School, focused on providing a breakfast program to get much needed food to chidlren in Gaza. With the price of flour at over $100 USD per kilo, you can see why our target is high. Alongside this fundraising, we will continue to passionately advocate for full open safe UN aid corridors, and a free and internationally recognised Palerstinian state.

All funds raised will be sent directly to Ahmed and Heba in Gaza. As you can appreciate, this is incredibly difficult at the moment, and every penny or cent matters, as does every single share, and every single prayer.

With love and gratitude,

Natalie and my family

A Life on the Line - From Ahmed & Heba:

We’re Ahmed and Heba, a young couple from Gaza, holding onto hope as we prepare to welcome our first baby into a world torn by war.

Before everything changed, we were just like any other couple—full of dreams, planning our future, building a life together. But the war took everything from us: our home, our safety, and the life we had worked so hard to create.

What it couldn’t take was our love, our will to survive, and our belief in a better tomorrow.

After a year of unimaginable loss, we got married with nothing but love between us. And now, with a baby on the way, our hope has grown even stronger. Every day brings new challenges—basic needs like food, medicine, and safety are hard to come by—but we continue forward, together.

We’re not just asking for help—we’re inviting you to be part of a story that’s still being written. A story about love that survives war. About new life in the middle of destruction. About two people who refuse to give up.

Your kindness—whether through a donation, sharing our story, or keeping us in your prayers—means more than we can ever express. It brings us one step closer to giving our child the peaceful life they deserve.

With love,

Ahmed & Heba
