Hello, my name is Mohanad.

I write this with a heart full of pain and hope. My family and I survived the war. We lost our home, our community, and our sense of security, but we stayed together.

Now there is a "ceasefire," but we are still not free. Every day is a negotiation for our humanity: at the checkpoint, at the borders, and in the daily struggle to get humanitarian aid in. We live by different rules, in a world built to remind us that we don't belong.

We are not asking you to solve everything. We are asking you to walk a part of this path with us. Any contribution, no matter how small, is a beacon of light on this difficult road. It tells us that we have not been forgotten. Your support is what allows us to navigate this oppressive reality with a little security and plan a life beyond these confines. It is our act of silent defiance.

Please help us write this next chapter. Support us. With gratitude,

With hope and gratitude,

Mohanad and family

About the person who is helping me raise money in her own words: "Hello everyone,

For the past 18 years, I have worked as an activist, supporting causes for both people and animals. In that time, I've learned that true support means walking alongside those in need, with transparency and commitment.

Many in the Palestinian community know me simply as Maria. It is in that spirit of trust and solidarity that I am now dedicating my efforts to support Mohanad and his family.

I have connected with them directly, and I am committed to ensuring that every contribution reaches them fully and transparently, helping them meet their most urgent needs—from food and shelter to healthcare and the ongoing costs of living with dignity under oppression.

I believe in their strength, and I invite you to join me in standing with them. No gesture of support is too small.

Thank you for your trust and your generosity.

With hope and solidarity,

Maria "
