Katherine For Humanity

Israa’s son Hamza urgently needs to have his tooth pulled. More than a month ago I asked for $200 dollars to have it pulled. They were only able to raise enough money for the antibiotics, to subside the pain. It The infection has returned and more antibiotics are needed before the tooth can be extracted. Please continue to support this family. A infection of this nature is dangerous it can go into his bloodstream and take it to his heart. In total, Hamza will need $250 to have the infection dealt with and the tooth pulled. I am very grateful; for the continued Support, from those who continue to stand with this family. Every dollar goes towards helping their family survive with food, essential medicine, and daily living costs. Katherine

Update from Israa: Hi friends.... I am asking for your help and support for my children during these difficult and harsh circumstances. My tent is in need of repairs and reinforcement, as winter is approaching. Please I beg of you... Life here is extremely difficult and exhausting, and we have reached our breaking point. We find ourselves surrendering to the reality we face and live through every single day. I need food and water for my children; I need plastic sheeting for the tent; I need winter clothing. I also ask for your prayers; may they guide us toward the right path. Where are the donors? Where are the kind-hearted people?

Update from Israa: Where are the donors? Where are the kind-hearted people? Hello friends... Our lives are incredibly difficult... Life is truly hard... We need your moral and financial support; even a small donation makes a difference. Injustice is spreading widely... Conditions are harsh, and we are enduring suffering of every kind. My children are young and need food and drink to satisfy their hunger; they often go days or even weeks without food... How can such injustice exist? Please help my children so they can receive the care they need in every humanitarian sense.

Update from Israa: Hello friends. We are living in extremely difficult circumstances and are in urgent need of help to weatherproof our tent; it has become worn out and needs to be covered with plastic sheeting to protect us from the coming winter cold. We cannot face this situation alone. Please, if you can, help my family today. Even a donation of $5 or $10 could help us take a small step toward finding suitable shelter for the children and meeting the basic needs of my family of seven. If you are unable to donate, please share our campaign with friends, family, neighbors, and anyone else who might be able to help. A single share could bring our story to someone who can assist us. I never imagined I would have to ask strangers for help to provide shelter for my family. I am writing to you today out of desperation, as I have no other way to protect the ones I love. Please do not ignore our plea; help us find safety, secure a tent, and find a place where we can start our lives anew. May God reward everyone who supports us, shares our story, or remembers my family in their prayers. May God protect you and your loved ones, and may He forever bless you with the gift of shelter and safety. With a broken heart and a glimmer of hope, Israa and family Please Help Please Donate Please Share Please Help a Family in gaza Please don't leave us alone during these difficult times, and be a source of support and strength for my children.

Update from Mahmoud yesterday: Drones are extremely terrifying; today, one was firing shots in my neighborhood, and tragically, someone was hit and died instantly. We are safe, but I hope these drones do not return. Fortunately, schools and kindergartens are closed today; the drone was firing while hovering directly over the kindergarten my children attend. We continue to live in a state of fear and terror, as the sounds of shelling and aircraft at night are truly frightening. -Mahmoud

Israa spoke with me this morning and she is very distressed atm about the negative balance owed to the Palestinian merchant that sold her family a sanitary room equipment. She still owes $100. The merchant has threatened her with never doing business with her again and she feels humiliated and degraded by the entire situation. He demanded that she pay $50 now, and the remaining balance asap. If you can help her; i would be completely grateful to you. Katherine

The occupation has driven up the cost of living for Palestinians in ways that are almost impossible to comprehend. And before anyone says otherwise, these numbers come directly from Israa. For her family of 7, they need- • 7 people to donate $29 for one day of food • 7 people to donate $14.29 for clean drinking water • 7 people to donate $14.29 for firewood & cooking gas • 7 people to donate $7.14 for medicine • 7 people to donate $7.14 for internet data & other essentials These are weekly asks. It breaks my heart that a family with so few resources, with so little aid reaching them, has to depend on the kindness of strangers simply to eat, drink clean water, cook, access medicine, and stay connected. Whatever seems significant or insignificant to you can be a lifeline to them. Please find it within your heart to help. No dollar amount is too small. Pick just one of the amounts above and help this family get through another day. They are a beautiful family. I consider them my family. I love them dearly, and I speak with them every single day. Please donate. Please share. Every act of kindness matters. ❤️ Warmly, Katherine

I spoke with Israa this morning. It has been three days since anyone in her family has eaten. She also has an infection and needs medicine. She is very exhausted. I’m going to upload photos from a video that I screenshot. Apparently, you cannot upload videos to go fund me.. she sent these to me on Friday of this last week showing where her tent needs to be repaired. They urgently need sheeting to prepare for winter and winter is coming. The children still need stationary for school. They still require at least $100 a day for a family of seven to eat $20 equates to barely a meal for children they eat, but are not satisfied. They do not get full it is so important that these children not go three to five days without eating. Please send what you can, please share the link. We can restore hope for this family. Thank you Katherine
