Help Save My Son's Sight: A Mother's Plea from Gaza
Donation protected
UPDATE 24 FEBRUARY 2025
Haifa Reda and her children send regular updates on how they are with everyday issues and medical issues as well.
Due to the prolonged harsh conditions after October 7, 2023, Aser has not been able to get the adequate care he needed during this time. Haifa is trying to secure transportation out of Gaza to get him the surgery he needs. During that time, she has suffered bulging discs in her neck and back that need surgery to be repaired. Please, if you can donate to help then thank you so very much; if you can share to help to others then Haifa and her children thank you for that.
Thank you for all your help so far. Let’s keep going to get Haifa and Aser the help they need for medical help outside of Gaza and funds for their daily needs while they are still there.
!!! UPDATE 09/13/2024: We have been fortunate to be able to transfer the first several donation to Haifa and her children successfully! Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone that has helped her with this first milestone! The costs for very common things in Gaza is incredibly high and these funds will not go very far but every little bit helps. Thank you to all the people that have donated and shared and we humbly ask you to continue to share Haifa's campaign to ensure regular access to funds for medicine, food, basic supplies, and hopefully transportation to a better life outside of Gaza when the borders reopen."

Haifa’s Story:
My love is always in my heart. As a mother, my children are my world. My name is Haifa Reda, and I am a mother of three beautiful children living in Gaza. Our lives are marked by hunger and poverty, and I am struggling to provide for my children’s basic needs. Today, I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea for help.
Our Story:
In Gaza, we live under incredibly harsh conditions. My children—Aser, who is 8 years old; Cenda, who is 5; and Aseel, who is just 2—bring so much joy to my life, but our situation is dire. We face a daily battle against hunger and lack of resources. My son, Aser, is suffering from severe eye problems that threaten to take away his sight.
Aser’s Fight for Sight:
Aser, my sweet and intelligent 8-year-old boy, has a severe congenital eye condition. He suffers from extreme weakness in vision, nystagmus (involuntary eye movement), and an absence of the iris. To maintain his vision, he needs medicinal eye drops (Twinzol) twice a day. However, due to the limited availability of medicine in Gaza, Aser has been without his crucial medication for far too long. His condition is worsening, and the fear of him going blind is a constant nightmare for us.
The Innocence and Dreams of a Child:
Aser is a curious and bright second-grader who loves nature and learning. Before the conflict disrupted our lives, he cherished going to school and playing football with the other children. Now, he is cut off from both his education and the medicine he desperately needs. His laughter and dreams are overshadowed by the growing threat of blindness.
A Mother's Desperate Plea:
As his mother, my heart breaks every day. I cry in despair, hoping for a miracle that can save my son’s sight. There is a possibility of surgical treatment for his congenital condition, but we need financial support to travel and pay for the surgery. I am reaching out to your compassion and humanity to help us afford Aser's Twinzol medication and potentially save his sight.
How You Can Help:
Your support can bring light back into Aser’s life. By contributing to our campaign, you can help us buy the essential medication that stabilizes his eyes and allows him to see clearly in the daytime. Your generosity can prevent a young boy from losing his vision and give him the chance to explore the wonders of the world again.
Donate Now:
Please find it in your heart to help Aser and our family. Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference. Together, we can ensure that Aser receives the treatment he needs and continues to see the beauty around him.
Bank Details:
For those who wish to contribute directly, here are my PayPal details. I can also be reached on WhatsApp. Please help my dear Aser regain his sight and future.
Thank you for your kindness and support.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Haifa Reda
