Hi, my name is Joyce A. and I am helping Manar Mansour run this fundraiser for his and his family. Since the heartbreaking loss of his father- who passed away from a heart attack brought on by the fear and panic of the war- Manar has been thrust into the role of the sole breadwinner. At such a young age, he now carries the weight of seven others on his shoulders: his mother, his younger brother, and his five sisters.

Right now, they are living through a true catastrophe in Gaza. The situation is critical, with prices skyrocketing and the so-called safe zones in Deir al- Balah narrowing every day. Manar is in a race against time to provide the basics that we often take for granted. Every day is a struggle to find enough food to quiet his little sister's hunger, clean water to drink, and simple clothing or shelter to keep his family safe from the elements.

Your support is quite literally a ray of hope in their darkest hour. Every donation, no matter the size helps alleviate the immense suffering they face daily. It provides more than just a meal or a blanket; it strengthens their spirit and reminds them they are not alone in this tragedy. It gives Manar the means to keep his family together and the hope that he can one day take them for a walk in peace.

We believe in the power of your generous support to help this family survive and eventually find a path to normalcy. Your kindness is the strength that keeps the going when everything else feels lost. Please consider donating or sharing their story to help Manar protect those he loves most.

The money collected by the fund will be directly transferred to Manar’s PayPal account for the purchase of food and medication.
