My name is Ahmed, I am 28 years old, and I am from Gaza.

Right now, I am the only one responsible for my family of 8 people: my elderly parents, my four siblings (including two children under 10). Before the war, I had a small job and dreams like anyone else. Today, everything is gone.

We have lost our home, my workplace no longer exists, and the price of basic things — food, water, medicine, even a blanket — has become impossible. Every single day is a struggle to find enough bread or clean water for the children. The bombings never stop, the internet barely works, and winter is coming with nothing to keep us warm.

I created this fundraiser because I have no other way left to protect my family. Any amount you donate goes directly to:

Food and drinking water

Medicine and diapers for the little ones

Basic shelter needs (blankets, mattresses, plastic sheeting)

Whatever it takes to keep all 8 of us alive one more day

Even $5 can buy bread for two days. $25
