Help Ruba and Her Daughters Rebuild Their Lives
Organized by: Ru Al Hassani

My name is Ruba, and I am a 55-year-old Palestinian woman from Gaza. I have lived through unimaginable hardship—losing my home, my job, and my health due to the ongoing war. My daughters and I have been displaced nine times, living in shelters without windows, lighting, or security. We’ve faced fear, instability, and heartbreak daily.
Our Story
I am currently battling advanced cancer, with tumors spreading to my spine, which makes walking and movement extremely painful. On top of that, I was shot, which caused a severe fracture in my right ankle and metatarsal bones. Now I urgently need reconstructive surgery to restore my mobility.
One of my daughters, who has autism, was trapped under rubble for hours during an attack. She is still recovering from her injuries, and she requires special care and constant emotional and physical support.
Due to the ongoing war, I have not been able to receive cancer treatment for nearly two years, which has made my medical condition much worse. My situation is now urgent, and I need immediate access to oncology care to continue fighting for my life.
Why We Need Your Help
Your support can help us:
Secure a safe home so we are no longer displaced and living in harsh conditions.
Continue urgent cancer treatment, including Kisqali Aromasin, Zomera, and Zoladex.
Receive surgery to reconstruct my injured ankle, so I can regain mobility.
Provide care and therapy for my autistic daughter, who is still recovering from the trauma and injuries.
Rebuild our life and create a stable source of income to provide for my daughters.
