My name is Judy Bruen and I live in Michigan. I am helping raise funds for Reem. In her own words:

My name is Reem, a 15 year old girl Palestinian girl from Gaza. Since the war began, I've lost everything...Our home, my school, my toys - even my sense of safety.

We used to live a simple life, but it was full of love. Now, nine of us sleep under the open sky, facing hunger and fear every single day.

I can no longer go to school. I don't even have a book to read or a blanket to keep me warm.

The situation in Gaza is catastrophic. Children are dying of hunger, aid is not reaching us and the future is disappearing before our eyes.

I'm not asking for much...I jut want to live. I want to feed my siblings, comfort my mother and be able to to dream again.

Your donation could save our lives. It could provide food, medicine....and hope.

Please: don't scroll past without leaving a human touch on my life. From the bottom of my heart: thank you to everyone who feels our pain, helps us and prays for us.
