Help Shahed’s family to cover life expenses

A Mother's Heartbreaking Plea for Help Amidst the Ravages of War

I am Aisha, the mother of five children: Shahed, Ahmed, Maria, Sham, and the newborn Alaa. We live in Gaza, where a brutal war is raging all around us. I am an artist, but my recent exhibition featuring my own drawings was tragically destroyed, leaving me without a means to earn money. My five children desperately need to meet the basic requirements of life, such as food, drink, and healthcare. These are the crucial necessities we desperately seek to provide for them.

I recently gave birth to my daughter, Alaa, who is only two months old. Like any newborn, she requires milk, diapers, and healthcare. However, due to the dire conditions and soaring prices we have faced for more than eight months, I struggle to afford these basic necessities consistently.

Shahed

an eight-year-old, is talented and ambitious. Drawing is her passion, but unfortunately, she has had to stop due to the harsh conditions. Now, she shoulders heavy responsibilities such as collecting firewood and fetching water daily.

Shahed has lost her innocent childhood and her dreams. Now, she and her siblings live in a nightmare, surrounded by the constant threat of war.

We used to have a house with a small poultry farm, which sustained us with food. However, we lost both the house and the farm, and now only a few hens remain. Shahd adores raising pets, especially hens, and takes care to provide leftovers for them so they don't perish.

Ahmad

at the age of 6, has lost his kindergarten due to the war and has been deprived of education. He suffers from psychological disturbances, including involuntary urination, as a result of the death of his close friend from bombardment. He also suffers from severe malnutrition. However, Ahmad is a smart and talented child who loves to raise birds.

Maria,

at the age of 4, has also been deprived of kindergarten education and suffers from psychological disturbances, including constant crying without apparent reason and fear. She constantly tries to seek safety and affection.

Sham

, at the age of 2, is a smart and beloved child who suffers from chronic skin sensitivity and requires treatment due to polluted water and unhealthy food.

Ala'a

At 4 months old, was born in the midst of the war under bombardment. She suffers from a lack of proper healthcare and needs milk, diapers, and clothing.

With great humble, I ask for your help. Even one dollar makes a difference to us, and sharing the link is a form of support too. Your support is highly appreciated.

In the midst of this war, your generosity could make all the difference for my family.
