My name is Olfat Khalil Tayem from Gaza. I am 51 years old (born in 1973). I suffer from a chronic heart disease and am living through the hardest days of my life since the war destroyed everything… between loss, displacement, and famine.
I was forced to be displaced from my home in northern Gaza after it was completely destroyed by bombing. Since then, I have been enduring indescribable suffering… trapped between illness, hunger, extreme poverty, and constant fear of airstrikes and explosions.
My body has become weak and frail, with very little food and no access to proper medication. I feel my health deteriorating day by day. Food is scarce, and prices have skyrocketed unbelievably. The medicine I depend on to protect my heart has become rare and extremely expensive. Every day, my heart races… not only because of the chronic illness but also from fear. I don’t remember the last time I felt safe or full.
I have no income, my husband is elderly and unable to work, and although I have five grown children, they barely manage to support themselves amid this ongoing catastrophe and cannot bear the burden of my medical needs. I have now become fully dependent on your donations to survive. Prices have risen drastically, and survival is almost impossible without help.
I urgently need your support to:
- Cover the cost of my heart medication, which has become very expensive during the war.
- Buy basic food and bread, which we can no longer afford.
- Purchase clothes and personal necessities, as I lost everything in the bombing.
- Stay alive, as I have no source of income during this devastating war.
Every donation, no matter how small, helps me live another day. It means I can take my medication regularly, eat a warm meal, or sleep without the fear of hunger.
Please help me survive. Donate or share my story.
