Help Zainab & Family in Gaza

Hello, my name is Ariel Collins and I live in Portland, OR United States. I am starting this fundraising campaign for Zainab and her family who I met through my dear friend Iman. Please read her story below.

Hello, I am Zainab from Gaza, a mother of a two -year -old girl who was living in a new house, dreaming of a life full of joy and stability. Unfortunately, we could not enjoy it for a long time. The war came and turned our lives upside down. Our house was completely destroyed. Now we live in a tent, we ask you to help us as we desperately try to survive. Living in a tent under normal circumstances is difficult, but under the circumstances we endure in Gaza, living in a tent is quite unbearable. It’s cold, and windy and when it rains the tent floods and becomes covered in mud.

The aid has now been cut off from entering Gaza and prices have quickly soared. Nobody here in Gaza has had any income in over 19 months. What are we to do? How do I keep my child alive when our source of income and our livelihoods have been destroyed? Please support us, even small donations are helpful and appreciated. Please do not ignore our suffering. I ask you to stand with me. Thank you for reading my words.

funds for this fundraiser will be used to purchase: food, water, clothing, diapers, hygiene, cooking and cleaning products, tents and tarps, bedding and medicine when needed.
