My name is Simone and I'm making this for my friend Khaled and his children, Sarah and Khaled living in Gaza. They are facing displacement, starvation, and lack of access to necessary medical care. Please donate - or at least share - to not only help these young children, but the parents doing everything they possibly can to support them. Here are Khaled's words:

"Hello, my name is Khaled and I am the father of two wonderful children, Sarah and Khaled. We live in Gaza, where survival has become a daily struggle. I cannot begin to describe the pain we feel as we watch our home turn into rubble and our lives fall apart before our eyes.

Since the recent escalation, we have lost almost everything. We once had a simple life, filled with hope for our children. We had a small home that we cherished, but now it is nothing more than ruins. My wife and I are trying our best to stay strong for our children, but the harsh reality makes it incredibly difficult.

We are now living in extremely harsh conditions, struggling to secure even the most basic necessities. The water is contaminated, food is scarce, and our children are suffering from skin diseases due to the unhealthy living conditions. We are staying in a plastic tent under the scorching sun, with no idea how long we can endure this.

We are in desperate need of help to rebuild our lives, to secure a safe home for our children, and to provide them with the necessary medical care. We humbly ask for your support during this challenging time. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in our lives.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and for standing with us in this difficult time."

For transparency: I live in the US and am securely sending the money to them, which we all know is a challenging multi-step process these days. Thank you for your trust and support.
