A Father's Plea from Gaza: Help Me Save My Family"

My name is Mazen Nour, from Gaza. I am a father of six—a family with my wife and our four children. We used to live a simple life, filled with hope for a safe future. But the war has taken everything from us; we lost our home, and along with it, our dreams. Now, we live in a tent that doesn’t protect us from the heat of the sun, the cold winter nights, or the rain that leaks through each night.

My children look at me with eyes full of fear, and it breaks my heart because I feel helpless. I suffer from a herniated disc in my back, which leaves me unable to work, provide for them, or protect them from this harsh reality.

I am reaching out because I need help. My only wish is to give my children a safe place to live, somewhere they can feel a bit of peace. Please, help me save my family from this nightmare. We have no one left to turn to but the kindness of people like you."
