Dear friends of the heart and loyal supporters, From the depths of a heart filled with gratitude and praise, amidst a harsh and painful reality, I wanted to share with you a piece of news that has illuminated our souls once again. On Friday, my wife gave birth. To help you understand the magnitude of the suffering we live through, this was not an ordinary journey; we were forced to travel to a hospital very far away—not by choice, but due to the complete shutdown of generators and the severe lack of fuel at the hospitals close to us, leaving us facing immense risks amidst the total absence of the most basic healthcare essentials. In those intensely grueling moments, caught between fear and pain, Allah blessed us with a new baby girl whom we named "Nur" (Light), hoping that with her light, He will send relief, safety, and peace to our lives anew. She joins her brother Aboud to fill our home with warmth despite the cruelty of the circumstances surrounding us from every direction. Throughout this past period, you have been our true support. Your kind words, prayers, and generous support were not just assistance; they were a lifeline that made us believe there are people who truly feel our pain, and understand the daily oppression and helplessness we face just to secure the simplest rights of life for our children. Today, with the arrival of Nur, hope renews in my heart. However, our journey is far from over, the suffering continues, and we are still in urgent need of your standing by our side and supporting us as we complete our path toward safety and true stability for our little family. Every contribution, no matter how small, and every share of this link means a real step protecting our children from the threat of total service collapse and inhumane conditions. Thank you for being the light that pierces the darkness of our path, and thank you for your kind hearts that prove humanity is still alive. May Allah bless you and reward you abundantly on our behalf and for the sake of our children. With all love and gratitude, Ahmed and Family

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh, My name is Ahmed, Rawan’s husband. I am writing this update on behalf of my wife Rawan and our family, with the support of our American friend Tian, who is organizing this campaign for us. First and foremost, we want to express our deepest gratitude to every single soul who has reached out to check on Rawan and our family, shared our story, and kept us in their warm prayers throughout this past month. Your kindness and ongoing support have been our only light during this dark nightmare. Yesterday, Rawan went to the hospital for fetal monitoring, and our hearts completely broke. At first, the doctors couldn't hear our baby's heartbeat, and the movement was dangerously weak. We broke down crying as the medical team rushed around her—they almost started induced labor right away. Rawan is in severe pain, her cervix is dilated only 2 cm, and strong contractions have not started yet. The doctors told her that she must come in for fetal monitoring (NST) every single day now. Because her first child was born naturally, they are trying with us until the very last breath, giving us one final, critical deadline: From today until this Friday, if she does not give birth naturally, she must undergo an immediate emergency C-section to save our baby's life. To make matters even worse, the hospital we were coordinating with for Rawan’s delivery has completely shut down and gone out of service due to generator failures and severe fuel shortages—this is the heartbreaking reality of Gaza. Now, Rawan will be forced to travel to distant hospitals far from our area under extremely dangerous and exhausting conditions. As if the fear for our baby's life and the perilous journey to a distant hospital weren't enough, we are facing an immediate catastrophe at home: We are on the absolute brink of losing our shelter. If we cannot pay for the shelter we are living in right now, we will sleep on the street. I cannot bear the thought of my wife undergoing an emergency C-section, recovering from major surgery, or trying to protect a newborn baby while having nowhere to lay our heads except the cold ground outside. We urgently need to reach our $1,500 goal. Alhamdulillah, thanks to your support, we have raised part of it, but we still desperately need your help to complete the rest as soon as possible. I truly hope you can stand by our side during these crucial moments. Completing this amount is everything for us right now—it will directly cover the emergency C-section costs, transportation, secure our shelter, and provide essential medical supplies and food for Rawan and the newborn. I beg you, as a husband and father terrified for his wife and unborn child: Please keep us in your thoughts and hold us in your hearts during these critical days, and pray endlessly for Rawan and the baby this week. Even $10, $20, or $50 can save us from sleeping on the street and help us get through this emergency surgery. If you cannot help financially, simply sharing our update with the world means everything to us. Please do not leave us to face this alone, and we pray that you will stand by us until we reach safety. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for holding our hands during the scariest moments of our lives.

I cannot bear the thought of my wife undergoing an emergency C-section, recovering from major surgery, or trying to protect a newborn baby while having nowhere to lay our heads except the cold ground outside. Alhamdulillah, thanks to your support, we have raised $500 out of our $1,500 goal, and we still urgently need $1,000. This remaining amount is everything for us right now—it will directly cover the emergency C-section costs, secure our shelter rent, and provide essential medical supplies and food for Rawan and the newborn.
