Hello, my name is Mallory and I'm located in the United States.

I speak to you with a heavy heart as I try to help my dear friend Noor, a 20-year-old mother living in Khan Younis, Gaza. Noor recently gave birth to her baby girl, Watin, after she and her husband lost everything due to the war. They now live in dire conditions with their elderly parents simply trying to survive this humanitarian crisis.

They are in urgent need of donations to be able to simply buy food, basic items and medication for her baby's skin condition.

The family consists of 6: Noor and Ahmed Ahmidan Abu Lahia, young parents to Watin born June 2025; and their elderly parents, Ahmed's mother and father and Noor's mother.

More on Noor's story:

Noor and Ahmed married just before the war began. They built a home together, looking forward to their future and got pregnant. Sadly, they had to run away from their home and it was bombed. Now they live in a small makeshift tent made of nylon tarp to simply protect them from the elements—yet as you can imagine the blazing sun traps the heat making it extremely hot and uncomfortable.

They struggle daily with scarce resources: no reliable access to clean water, food, diapers, or baby milk. Noor is doing her best to breastfeed, but her own nutrition is suffering, making it difficult. Recently, her baby developed a serious skin rash that needs medication.

Noor is a desperate mother, doing everything she can to care for her child's health and well-being amid overwhelming hardship. She and her family needs our help.

How I know Noor:

I first connected with Noor on Instagram through her previous campaign and verified her situation directly through her. I’ve spoken to her on video chat, met her family, and now we talk daily. As a mother myself, I deeply empathize with Noor. Being postpartum while enduring this crisis is heartbreaking and truly unimaginable—imagine your baby crying for milk and unsure if you can provide while being exhausted yourself from lack of nutrition.

How donations will get to Noor:

All funds will be transferred securely to Noor via IBAN (international bank transfer) directly to her husband Ahmed's bank account. I will oversee every step to ensure transparency and that your generosity goes where it’s most needed—food, medicine, and basic necessities for her family.

Please help if you can. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign would mean the world and could help us reach more people who want to help.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

With love and may God bless you,

Mallory
