Year 2: Help a Family of 6 from Gaza Find hope

Hello, my name is Riham Abuthaher. I’m a Palestinian from Gaza, and I’m doing everything I can to get my family to safety.

My family includes:

• Mohammad (my dad), 59 years old

• Soha (my mom), 58 years old

• Raneem, 31 years old

• Rana, 27 years old

• Yasser, 23 years old

• Eman, 21 years old

We are now entering another year of hardship, and life is becoming more difficult by the day. Ongoing conflict has forced my family to flee from place to place in search of safety, but every time they move, danger follows. There is no longer a truly safe place to go.

Essential resources like food, clean water, and medicine are increasingly scarce. With humanitarian aid no longer reaching many areas and infrastructure severely damaged, safe drinking water is both limited and extremely costly—putting everyone at risk of waterborne diseases.

Food prices have soared beyond what most families can afford. A kilo of flour can cost up to $30. Basic items like canned goods and vegetables are now luxuries—if they’re even available. One day a kilo of tomatoes may cost $15, and the next it might be $20.

My family is doing everything they can to survive, but the challenges are overwhelming. That’s why I’m asking for your help. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference—helping them secure food, water, medical care, and eventually the means to leave Gaza and find safety.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing with us in this time of urgent need. Your support truly means everything.

With no safe place to go, mom, yasser and my sisters were waiting beside our belongings in desperate need for any transportation to move their stuff.

We were moving our belongings helping each other. Mom was so tired so that she leand on Eman to help her pass through the bumpy road.

Without your help, we couldn’t buy this bag of flour to help us survive the famine.

Unfortunately there is no gas to use, so we have to light a fire to cook. Raneem gets burned when she throws some wood into the fire.

Eman is digging through the rubble of our home hoping to get anything from our home.

After two years, we went back to see if there was anything left of our home. Mom burst into tears when she saw our home destroyed.

We lost our life and our memories when we were forced to leave our home, but with your help Rana and Raneem are standing on the rubble of our home hoping for a better life and a better future.
