My name is Sulieman, and I live in Brooklyn, New York. October 7 changed my life forever. I cannot stand seeing any innocent life taken, and that day, the tragedy in Gaza left millions of Palestinians suffering—and it shook me deeply.

At the start of this crisis, I met a family whose courage and spirit left a lasting mark on me. I’ve stayed in touch, doing what I can to support them, but nothing could prepare them—or anyone—for the hardships they now face.

Batool Qudeih and her family are in a desperate situation:

• Her mother became gravely ill and needed a medical evacuation to Jordan, where she is waiting for treatment.

• Batool herself contracted a severe staph infection, going to the hospital in extreme pain, with little proper medical care available due to ongoing blockades.

• Their young brother recently had surgery to remove shrapnel from his kidney after their home was bombarded.

They are currently living in a fragile cloth tent on the beach, with 40‑mile‑per‑hour winds constantly tearing it down. The cold nights, relentless rains, and floods make daily life nearly impossible. Every gust of wind or heavy rain threatens to destroy what little shelter they have. The floods soak their belongings, food, and bedding, leaving them wet, cold, and vulnerable.

Aid is still largely blocked, and essential supplies like clean water, medicine, and proper shelter are extremely limited. The family is struggling to survive day by day, with no guarantee of safety or care.

With your help, we can provide:

• A durable, weatherproof tent

• Daily essentials like food, water, and blankets

• Support to survive in these harsh, life-threatening conditions

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference. With your help, we can give Batool and her family a chance to survive, recover, and live with dignity during this unimaginable crisis.

Please, join me in helping Batool Qudeih and her family today. Your generosity can save lives.
