My name is Nour and I am from the United States. I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my friend Manal and her children in Gaza. All funds raised will be collected by me and sent directly to Manal to help her family survive and access essential necessities.

Manal is a mother trying to keep her children alive through unimaginable loss and fear in Gaza.

After losing her husband, she has been left to care for her four children alone. Zuhra, Hamzah, Maryam, and Mohammed are only 8, 10, 11, and 13 years old. Instead of spending their days in school, playing with friends, or sleeping safely in their own beds, they are forced to move constantly from place to place, living in tents and searching for safety that never truly comes.

Every day is a fight to survive. Food is scarce. Medicine is difficult to find. Clean water, warmth, and shelter are uncertain. These children have endured trauma no child should ever know.

Manal is doing everything a mother can do to protect her children, but no parent should have to carry this burden alone.

This fundraiser is to help provide food, shelter, medicine, clothing, and basic necessities for Manal and her children as they struggle to survive displacement and loss. Every donation, no matter how small, can help ease their suffering and remind them that they are not forgotten.

If you cannot donate, please share their story. More than anything, this family wants to be seen, heard, and remembered as human beings deserving of safety, dignity, and hope.
