Hey volunteers, I'm Asmaa, 24 years old.
I have two children named Raja and Mariam. Raja is 3 years old and Mariam is 1.5 years old. We live in Gaza. We haven't had a home since October 14th. Now we are displaced in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis, in a tent that is like fire. We live in harsh, painful suffering. We walk kilometers to get water. We bleed to get food. My child Raja cries day and night because he doesn't have enough food. (I swear to you, after he eats his meal, I ask him with a broken heart. I say to him, "My son, are you full?" He answers me while crying: "No, Mommy.") Imagine how difficult our lives are. My girl Mariam comes and needs diapers and milk. Now I give her flour instead of milk! I put women's diapers on her instead of baby diapers!!!! As a mother, my heart aches for my children. I cry for our harsh life. Our situation does not allow us to buy at these prices, and as you know, now there is no source of income. Please do not leave us and ignore us, as one dollar makes a difference in our lives. Consider my children your children.
I am Samantha Zino, I’m 19 from the United States. I heard the story of Asmaa, who is sister of Shatha, via social media. Her niece enlightened me about the harrowing experiences in the middle east. Funds will be sent to Khan Younis, after being converted to Shekels, will go towards their housing, education and medical care. Thank you so much for reading and donating!
