<div>My name is Heba from Deir Al-Balah , Palestine and just over a year ago, I was a 23-year-old journalism student, <strong>dreaming</strong> of telling stories of <strong>hope</strong> and <strong>resilience</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>**** Me, in better times ****

</div>
<div>Today, I’m living a <strong>nightmare</strong>, carrying the <strong>burden</strong> of my entire family—four generations <strong>torn apart by war.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our young 3 month-old <strong>baby</strong>, Mohammed lies where no child should: on<strong> cold floors</strong>, his <strong>cries</strong> competing with the sounds of <strong>war</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>**** Our <strong>little ange</strong>l on the <strong>hard floor</strong> inside the <strong>tent</strong> ****

<div><br />
</div>
<div>He needs <strong>warmth</strong>, formula, and <strong>safety</strong>, but we have <strong>nothing</strong> left to give. At the other end of our family are my <strong>elderly</strong> <strong>parents</strong>, who have seen a lifetime of <strong>hardship</strong> but never imagined they would spend their <strong>final years</strong> struggling to survive, <strong>without</strong> the <strong>medicine</strong> and <strong>dignity</strong> they deserve.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve been <strong>displaced</strong> again and again, with no place to call home. Our family is <strong>scattered</strong>, <strong>broken</strong>, and <strong>fighting</strong> to hold on. One of my brothers is held in <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Gaza</strong> with his <strong>pregnant</strong> <strong>wife</strong>.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every</strong> <strong>day</strong> is a <strong>battle</strong> to find <strong>food</strong>, <strong>shelter</strong>, and the <strong>basic</strong> <strong>necessities</strong> to keep our <strong>youngest</strong> and oldest <strong>alive</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign is our <strong>last</strong> <strong>hope</strong>. Every donation will go directly to <strong>food</strong>, <strong>formula</strong>, <strong>clothing</strong>, and medical supplies for my family.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re not asking for pity—just a <strong>chance</strong> to give our <strong>baby</strong> the life he <strong>deserves</strong> and let my parents live their <strong>final years</strong> with <strong>dignity</strong>.
</div>

</div>
<div>A trusted family friend is managing this fundraiser, taking no fees and offering no services, to ensure that every dollar reaches us. The funds will transit his bank account in Belgium, and from there, the money will be transferred by PayPal or MoneyGram. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In this <strong>season</strong> of <strong>giving</strong>, I <strong>humbly</strong> ask you to let your <strong>heart</strong> guide you. Your <strong>kindness</strong> can be the <strong>light</strong> that breaks through our <strong>darkest</strong> days.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank</strong> <strong>you</strong> for reading our story and for <strong>standing</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>us</strong> in these impossible times.
