Support Haya's Family: Food, Water, and Shelter Needed

[Note: the fundraiser says I'm raising funds for Molly Guenther, my mom, because that's how the banking situation is set up, but I assure you everything's going towards Haya and her family. Sorry if there's any confusion about that.]

Hello! My name is Peter. I am organizing this fundraiser for Haya and her family. Below is a message from Haya describing her situation and daily life throughout the war:

My name is Haya, I live in Gaza, and I am 25 years old. My husband was a biology teacher, and we used to live a simple, peaceful life until the war came and turned our world into a living nightmare.

On a dark night, amidst the sounds of bombing and the whizzing of bullets, we were forced to flee our home, which was once our safe haven. We left with nothing but our souls, running through the rubble, trying to survive. We lost everything — our house, our safety, and our memories.

Today, our biggest dream is to find a bite to eat that will fill our hunger for just one day. My little child Yamen suffers from malnutrition, and I struggle daily to find the simplest necessities of life. Water is scarce, medicine is out of reach, and a safe shelter has become a distant dream.

Food prices are skyrocketing, and my husband walks long distances every day just to get drinking water. I suffer from shortness of breath due to the lack of cooking gas, and transportation has become a nightmare of exhaustion.

I decided to write this plea, hoping to find a compassionate heart that can help us, even with a little. My husband, my child, and I dream of someone who will extend a helping hand, granting us the chance to live with dignity and the hope of leaving Gaza in peace.

Is there anyone who can hear my cry? Is there anyone who feels our suffering? Please, do not leave us alone in this hell.
