🌸 From One Mother’s Heart – Please Read 🌸

My name is Saja. I’m a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow — from her first smile to her first steps — surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.

But life had other plans.

War has returned to our home. Again. And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.

There was a moment — a fragile, breathless moment — when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark — hiding, holding on, praying.

I’m writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.

Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.

This is my life.

This is my daughter’s life.

And even now — especially now — I believe in softness. I believe in kindness. Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.

Why I’m Reaching Out Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.

That’s why I keep going.

I’ve launched a campaign to ask for help — not because it’s easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.

How You Can Help: 🤍 Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity 🤍 Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources 🤍 Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war

I Am Saja – A Mother Holding On Through the Return of War

My name is Saja. I am a wife, a mother to a precious 8-month-old girl, and I am writing this in a moment that I wish I didn’t have to live t

If you can’t give, please consider sharing. Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.

From My Heart to Yours Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe you’ve never lived through war. But if you’ve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them — then you understand more than you know.

I don’t want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.

Please, if you’ve read this far — thank you. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring. We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like it’s a lifeline.

With love and endless gratitude

💔 Desperate Plea: Your Donation Could Save My Family from Gaza’s War 🙏😢

Dear friends,

My name is Waleed Alanqar, I come to you today with a heart shattered by fear and despair 💔. My family and I are trapped in Gaza, where the war has left us in a constant state of terror. Every day we hear the sounds of destruction and see the devastation that surrounds us. We are not safe. The lives of my children, my loved ones, and myself are in immediate danger 😢.

We have no choice but to flee. I have found a chance to escape through the Rafah Border Crossing, but without the necessary funds, this escape will be impossible. The cost of this journey is far beyond anything I can afford, and I am running out of time.

I am begging for your help 🙏. Please, I urge you to consider donating to my GoFundMe campaign. Any amount—no matter how small—can be the difference between life and death for us 💔. Every dollar brings us one step closer to safety, away from the horrors we face every single day.

The situation is urgent. We cannot wait. The bombs are falling, the suffering is unbearable, and I am terrified that we will not survive this nightmare unless we get out soon 😔. Your generosity can save lives, and we need your support right now.

Please, if you can, donate. If you cannot donate, sharing this message could be the action that brings help to us. But I am pleading with you—we need your help today. Tomorrow might be too late 💔.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for acting in this moment of desperation.

Vetted by @gazavetters , my number verified on the list is ( #107 )

With all my hope,

Waleed Family 🙏💔
