<div>My name is Rebecca Stonehill. I am a writer based in Norwich, UK and in 2024 I read an article by a young, Gaza-based writer called Shahd Alnaami entitled 'Gaza's Libraries will rise from the ashes.' (<a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/12/14/gazas-libraries-will-rise-for-the-ashes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/12/14/gazas-libraries-will-rise-for-the-ashes" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/12/14/gazas-libraries-will-rise-for-the-ashes</a></a>)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was struck immediately by the clarity and courage of Shahd's voice and I made contact with her through Instagram. Together, with our shared passion for books, writing, libraries and literacy, we managed to organise an online writing workshop which took place on 9th February 2025. During the preparation and organisation of this workshop, many people close to Shahd were killed, including her beloved 13 year old sister, Rahaf. She has also lost her home twice. She is currently living in the roof space of her uncle's house. Despite all this, she is continuing to study (although this is online as her University is no longer standing) and to write. Despite the gruelling challenges she constantly faced, Shahd was determined to go ahead with this workshop. We were joined by people from around the world - Gaza, the UK, the US, Canada and the Netherlands for what was a powerful and moving collaborative experience. Since then, we have run a second workshop online, based around tatreez, Palestinian embroidery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The United Nations has reported that thirteen public libraries in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed and that many in Gaza are now being forced to burn books as fuel for fires to stay warm or to cook. In the words of Shahd, 'This is our heartbreaking reality: survival comes at the cost of cultural and intellectual heritage'.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Shahd's dream is to be granted a scholarship so that she can continue with her studies abroad. She has written for We are not Numbers and Al-Jazeera amongst other platforms. Shahd is a passionate advocate for literature, reading and libraries and the love for knowledge and education that runs deep in Palestinian culture.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Can you help Shahd to continue developing her talent so she can share the stories of Palestinian cultural heritage and resistance with the world? Palestinian voices have been censored and sidelined for too long.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please share and spread the word.

<div>Hi my name is Chadia and I’m fundraising on behalf of Maryam a mother of five.
</div>
<div>Joud, Maryam’s youngest daughter- a four year old baby girl, was living a comfortable, happy life before the war in Gaza. Her family, consisting of seven members, was forced to flee from northern Gaza to southern Gaza due to the war, and resorted to living in a tent that lacked the basic necessities of life and was also unable to accommodate even two people. Joud lost her beautiful home and also lost her sense of security. Joud also lost her childhood, living life in constant fear, as is the case with many children in Gaza. Please help and donate so that they may leave Gaza as quickly as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Where exactly are your donations going?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every penny of your donations are being saved by Joud and her family to escape from Gaza to Egypt. Currently it costs €5,000 per adult and €2,500 per child to cross the border. However, because of Jouds current illness, the family are in need of a private doctor to treat her until she is better, and so some of the funds will be used for this Also for food and drink .
</div>

Help Joud and her family

<div>Urgent Help is needed for Gaza Family with Children in Gaza.
</div>
<div>Hi my name is Hassan Issam and I am from Gaza. I am living in a tent in Khan Younis with my wife, Umm Mohammed and my four children Abdulluh, 17 years old, Muhammed, 15 years old, Yassin, 10 years old and my daughter Shatha 12 years old.
</div>
<div>We have moved many times after our house in Northern Gaza was targeted by the IDF when bombs were dropped on our neighbourhood. We recently visited our home and it’s still standing but needs a lot of repairs. So we have some hope of returning when the situation is safer.
</div>
<div>We have lost many family members over the last few months. My children are really traumatised. We are living in appalling conditions. We go hungry most days and basic food prices are so high.
</div>
<div>Please help me with any amount you are able to donate. I need to buy food. Aid trucks are not getting through. We also need clothes. My wife and daughter need sanitary items. We need medicines. We need blankets. My children need shoes.
</div>
<div>I have no other means to raise funds. I have found life difficult since the last wars in Gaza. We have lost everything, but haven’t given up hope of returning home.
</div>
<div>l have asked my friend Andrea in the UK to manage this fund and transfer money to me.
</div>
<div>Bless you and thank you.

Help Needed for Food & Clothes for Family of 6 in Gaza.

</div>
<div><strong>My name is Munya Mohammed Abdullah Al-Saddoudi, and I am a mother from Gaza a mother who once had a home, a family, and a future filled with hope. Before the war, our life was humble but beautiful. My husband worked at a small barbershop, and each day he returned with tired hands and a gentle smile. Our three children ran through the house, laughing, playing, dreaming. I used to prepare meals with love, clean our little home with care, and tuck my children in at night, knowing they were safe.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Then, without warning, the war came and turned our lives into ashes.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/92157359_175154237313573_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A single airstrike erased our home. The barbershop was destroyed. My dear brother, my anchor, my strength was killed under falling rubble. Now I live in a torn tent, exposed to the freezing winds and blistering heat, holding my three children close as they cry from hunger, fear, and pain. We sleep on the bare ground. We wake up coughing from dust and sickness. There is no food. No clean water. No medicine. Prices for basic things flour, baby milk, diapers are beyond impossible. People are dying from starvation, not just bombs. Children waste away from illness. Mothers give birth in blood-soaked tents. I try to stay strong, but inside, I am shattered.</strong>
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I know some of you may feel the pain through this screen you may feel the sadness, the shock, even the anger. But what about us? What about our children? The innocent ones who’ve never known peace? What if it were your child crying for bread? Your sister giving birth in a shelter? Your mother buried under rubble? Please don’t let this just be a sad story you scroll past. Put yourself in our place. Feel it. Let it move you not just to tears, but to action.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We are human beings, just like you. We feel joy, we feel grief, we love, we hope and now, we suffer. We are not asking for comfort. We are begging for survival. Your help, no matter how small, can be a lifeline: food for a starving child, warmth for a freezing baby, a blanket of hope in this cold world. Share our story. Speak our names. Show the world that kindness still exists. Let your mercy rise above the silence.</strong>

A MOTHER’S FIGHT FOR HER CHILDREN SURVIVAL IN GAZA

<div>My family and I before the war that exhausted us 
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/95859963_1776186639443201_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Karam Kanaan, I am 24 years old from Gaza, living with my family of seven.
</div>
<div>Since the war began, our lives have been completely turned upside down. Our home was destroyed, and we were displaced multiple times, living in tents before finally renting a small room where we live now.
</div>
<div>During the bombing, several members of my family were injured, and I was affected by a powerful explosion that caused me to lose hearing in my right ear. I still suffer from hearing loss until today.
</div>
<div>We struggle every day to afford basic needs such as food, water, medical care, and rent, which is $300 per month. My father suffers from a severe neurological illness, and my mother has a condition that causes painful skin irritation when exposed to sand.
</div>
<div>I was also forced to stop my university studies in my final year due to financial difficulties, with around 1,700 Jordanian dinars in tuition debt remaining.
</div>
<div>We are simply trying to survive and maintain a basic level of dignity under these harsh conditions.
</div>
<div>Your donations will go directly toward providing essential needs for my family, including food, clean water, medical care, and rent, as well as helping me complete my education.
</div>
<div>Please consider donating or sharing our story. Even the smallest contribution can make a real difference in our lives.
</div>
<div>Your support gives us hope to keep going.

Help Karam and His Family with Food, Medicine and Rent

<div>"Hello everyone, I am Nevin Nateel, my family of 7, we were living a happy life full of joy, but the occupation deliberately stole our joy and demolished our dream home and we became homeless. I am Nevin Nateel, I graduated from my university with a basic education certificate with honors, I became a teacher raising generations and preparing future leaders, but the genocide came and our lives stopped completely since the beginning of the war, we were displaced from our home in the northern Gaza Strip to the southern Gaza Strip in the city of Khan Yunis, then again to Rafah, and we were displaced again to the city of Khan Yunis. We now live in an uninhabitable tent, but we no longer have any ambition in Gaza other than to survive, so we had no choice but to resort to this step so that we can provide the basic requirements of food for my family and rebuild our future and move to a simple life full of security and safety. It is dear to us to ask for support and assistance, but we have no assistance at our disposal. Saving my family from war and genocide, and building a new future"

Help Save a Palestinian Family

<div>Hi, my name is Trish, a mother of two from New York. I’m reaching out on behalf of my dear friend Hind — a courageous woman and devoted mother of three — who urgently needs our help.

Hind’s life was turned upside down on October 7th, when her home was destroyed in the war. Since then, she and her family have been displaced five times, and they’re now living in a fragile tent, exposed to danger and struggling to survive. There is no security, no stable shelter, and no income to provide even the basics like food.

From Hind:

| “I am a mother of three children: Heba (14), Mona (13), and Nabil (11). My husband is currently unemployed, and we have no source of income. I dream of a better future for my children — one where they can feel safe, eat, sleep, and just be kids again. But right now, we have nothing. Please help us survive this moment so I can work toward a better life for them.”



This campaign is to raise urgent funds for food, shelter, and basic needs for Hind and her children. Every donation, no matter how small, can bring warmth, hope, and security to this family in crisis.

Please, donate if you can and share Hind’s story. Together, we can make a difference.

Thank you so much for your compassion.<br />

<div>My name is Miyuki, and I am a mother living in Utah in the United States. I have been in contact with Khaled and his family for almost two years now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is a husband and father to three children, whose family has been displaced to Mawasi Khan Younis, after being displaced many, many times. His family has suffered immensely, and is looking for any relief to better survive and eventually evacuate to Egypt when the opportunity comes. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here is Khaled’s message:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My name is Khaled Abu Kharis and my wife is Alaa Abu Kharis and I have 3 children: Eileen, 6 years old, Rakan, 5 years old, and Mahmoud, 3 years old. We lived in our house in Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip. My house was bombed, and I left because it had become uninhabitable. I currently live in a tent in Rafah. That's why I want to go to Egypt to save my children's lives. The only way out is the Rafah crossing. I have to register and pay a fee of $7,000 per person. I want me, my wife, and my children to stay alive. I hope you will help me protect my family now. I ask everyone to donate to me on the link, and thank you for your humanity with us ❤️</strong>

Help Khaled’s Family Survive Until Evacuation

<div><strong>My name is Mays</strong>, and I am 16 years old from Gaza. Life here has become extremely hard, and every day is a struggle. My home was destroyed, and since then, my family and I have been trying to find a safe place to stay while facing many challenges at the same time.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>I created this fundraiser because we are struggling to meet our basic needs</strong>. We need help to survive—buying food, medicine, and paying the rent for the place we are currently staying in. These things have become very difficult for us to afford, and we are doing our best to stay strong despite everything happening around us.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Your support would mean so much</strong>. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help us stay safe, get the essentials we need, and continue hoping for a more stable future.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness and generosity truly make a difference.</strong>

Support Mays' Family for Basic Needs

<div>A family we love is going through an unimaginable tragedy. A devastating fire at 207 Dyckman Street has left a mother and her three children—Alexa (18), Alonzo (9), and Alison (5)—hospitalized. The three children are currently intubated and in critical condition after suffering burns and smoke inhalation. The youngest, Alison, was pulled from the building unconscious and had to receive CPR. Their mother is also in the hospital, injured and unable to be by their side the way she would want to be during this heartbreaking time. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> In a matter of moments, this family lost everything. Their home is gone along with all of their belongings. They are left without clothing, furniture, and basic necessities. While they fight to recover, they are also facing the reality of having to rebuild their lives from nothing. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> We are asking for your help to support this family during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will go toward clothing, essential items, and helping them replace what was lost. Any amount helps. If you are unable to donate, please share this page and keep this family in your prayers. Let’s come together and show them they are not alone. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

3 Siblings Intubated After Devastating fire in Dyckman NY

<div>Hello, I am Trish Maud. I live in New York. I am here today to shed light on this tragedy and to help my friend Malak and her family in Gaza. This is her story in her own words. Hi, my name is Malak I am a 17 year old girl surviving in Gaza with my family. Together, it is my mother, my father and my two younger siblings Menna and Abdul. We were displaced to Rafah, and after Deir al-Balah. We are living in a tent at a displacement camp. We do not have the minimum necessities of life. Both my parents and my little sister are currently suffering from sickness and malnutrition. I am asking for help to keep me and my family alive during this crisis.

</div>

<div>My father is 65 years old and has high blood pressure and recently had a stroke. His stroke came at the same time many of our family members were martyred and because of the war his blood pressure is worse. We try to spare him psychologically as much we can because we almost lost him that day. The doctor said the way he lived was a miracle. But he needs medication and nourishing food desperately. My mother has supported us all of her life as a seamstress. But now because of her cartilage injuries, she is unable to sew. Her sewing machine was also destroyed in our house bombing. Our house was bombed 24 hours after we were forced to leave. We left with absolutely nothing. Without clothes. Without beds. Without anything. My siblings too suffer along with my parents. My sister Menna is a very beautiful and affectionate 15-year-old girl. She has systemic inflammation in her body known as Neuritis, which causes her a lot of pain. She too is malnourished and is deficient in essential vitamins and minerals. She is mentally and physically exhausted by the war and her young body is taking the toll. My brother Abdul Muti is 11 years old. He is very smart and does whatever he can to help our family. He has taken on the role of a caregiver along with myself. He does what he can to make our tent as comfortable as possible, he fixes shoes and everything else. As for me? Because of the war, I’m deprived of my studies. My dream was to become a nurse, but now I am afraid I will have to give up my dream. I pray that my family and I will survive this but we need help to stay alive. We have no support and no other means of survival. My family needs food and medicine and a safe route to escape the war. Please help us and donate what you can. Thank you.

Support Malak's Family in Crisis

<div>This fundraiser directly supports ongoing efforts to keep Neveen and her young family alive in Gaza, to help her buy food and medicine or other basic necessities that support her current pregnancy, and to one day leave Gaza when the borders open. 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Neveen’s story:


</div>


<div>Almost exactly 1 month before the events in October 2023, Neveen and her husband brought home a new baby girl named Sham. They had just purchased their first home for their young family. After the events of October 7th, Neveen and her family had to urgently evacuate their home. Thinking it would be temporary, they only brought a few essentials. 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Neveen completely relies on donations in order to buy food which is currently extremely scarce, to provide shelter and medicine. Recently, the building next to them was hit directly and Neveen was trapped under the rubble shielding her baby with her body and arms. Sham was thankfully unhurt, but Neveen required many stitches to her head, face and body. 


</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Neveen is currently pregnant with their second child. Every dollar helps her pay for nutrition, access medical treatment and visits, and will eventually help her with the delivery as well. 
</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Please consider supporting this young family as they wait any opportunity to leave these horrid circumstances for peace and safety.

Support Neveen and Baby Sham's Survival

<div>Hi, my name is Meera. I currently live in Michigan, and I'm asking for your help in evading my family from Gaza. Amid the escalating conflict in Gaza, the lives of innocent civilians have reached devastatingly inhumane conditions. I have lost 80 family members from this war, and my remaining family members have been living through a nightmare – losing their homes due to the bombings and being forced to flee their hometowns with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like so many others in Gaza, they are locked in a desperate battle for survival, clinging to hope. They lack even the most basic human necessities - clothing, food, and clean water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to the scarcity of necessities, my family is coping with the lack of proper shelter. Currently, they are residing in a tent, an unsafe refuge for my wheelchair-bound aunt (Sohair, 36) and uncle (Ibrahim, 37), and numerous young children and their parents. My aunt Soheir is quadriplegic and can't take care of herself; she needs medical care and essential supplies that we can't afford. My uncle Ibrahim has muscular dystrophy, which causes his muscles to waste away. Because of the war, he can't walk anymore and needs costly medication. They have faced starvation and constant bombing. They have seen death in both northern and southern Gaza. These challenges are combined with the unique needs of my family members with disabilities. As they navigate these unfathomable circumstances, the need for continuous medical care and safe, stable shelter becomes more critical.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The ones in desperate need of evacuation include my wheelchair-bound aunt, my wheelchair-bound uncle, his wife and two children, and my aunt Samia and her six orphaned children– who lost their father in this war.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Evacuating my family from these horrible conditions is crucial; your support could provide a lifeline for my family, offering them the hope and assistance they so desperately need to endure these trying times. Every day is a battle, both physically and mentally. But they're not alone; with your help, we can provide the lifeline they desperately need. Together, we can make a difference, relieving those who have only known suffering.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to raise $40,000, and every contribution will go toward helping my family through the journey to the refuge from Gaza to Egypt; no donation is too small, and no act of kindness is too insignificant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you cannot contribute financially, please share our story; it will make a significant difference. Your support could mean the world to us in these dark times. Thank you for your compassion and solidarity.
</div>
