Hi palestine supporters šµšø
I am Shima from Gaza,
Hope my message finds you well..
Iām simply donāt want to die, I want to live I want to give my children a better life. Help me to escape from Gazaāļøāļø
My home, along with all my cherished memories and dreams, was destroyed. Now, homeless, I struggle to find a safe place for my children.
Our situation is indescribable. the hopelessness of being unable to protect my family, and the desperation of not being able to provide for my children weigh heavily on me.
Please share, repost or donate to my family Please do not ignore my message šš»šš
Your donations are important for our survival
Hello Shima!
I hope that sharing this helps you and your family!
I am currently having a difficult time finding a vet for your link.
Please look at little Hamoud, and his specimen of a cat in Al Zawaydah. Such floof.
Hamoud and many other Palestinian children like him benefit greatly from Gaza Soup Kitchen. Please consider sharing and donating to help the people of Palestine in northern Gaza!

Hello, my name is Rola, and I am a mother of two children living in the Gaza Strip. Our lives were once filled with love, laughter, and dreams for the future. But everything changed on October 7th, when the war shattered not only our home but our entire world.
That morning, my family and I were enjoying coffee together on the balcony. Out of nowhere, an explosion erupted, shaking our home violently. My husband and son ran for cover, falling over each other in panic, while I stood frozen, still holding my cup, unable to process the chaos around me. When I looked out the window, I saw that our neighborās house, once filled with life, had been reduced to rubble. Ambulances rushed to the scene as people scrambled to rescue the injured and pull bodies from the debris.
The bombings didnāt stop. At night, the rain poured heavily, and the cold seeped into our bones. I stayed awake, covering my children to keep them warm and praying for their safety. But safety is an illusion here. Another explosion shattered the night, and our neighborsā home was destroyed. Their children, who had been sleeping peacefully under a blanket, were found lifeless, their cover soaked in blood.
I looked at my children with tears in my eyes and thought, How can I protect you? We had to flee our home with nothing but the clothes on our backs. We left behind my childrenās toys, their clothes, and their beautiful bedroom. Everything we had worked so hard to build is gone.
Our Current Reality Now, we are displaced and living in a nightmare. Food is scarce, and prices are unimaginably highā$10 for a kilo of sugar! The fear of death hangs over us constantly. My children deserve a life of joy and hope, not one defined by fear and loss. Why canāt we live like everyone elseāgo to work, visit family, and watch our children play in safety? Why do our children have to grow up surrounded by death and destruction?
How You Can Help I am pleading for your kindness to help us rebuild our lives. We need your support to: š Rebuild our home, so my children can feel safe again. š Evacuate from Gaza, seeking a future where my family can live with dignity. 𩺠Provide urgent medical care for my children, who need protection from this nightmare.
Even the smallest donation can make a difference. If you canāt donate, please share my story. Every share brings us closer to hope.
What Your Support Means Your kindness is not just about helping us survive; itās about giving us a chance to dream again. To rebuild what weāve lost and to ensure my children have a future filled with possibilities, not fear.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support means the world to us. Letās work together to rebuild hope, one step at a time.

Can you restore the childhood that has been stolen from them? We are in desperate need of hope, of hands that can reach out and lift us from this nightmare, so our children can live the life they deserve.
Santa Claus has always been a symbol of joy and gifts, visiting homes to spread happiness in the hearts of children. But in Gaza, his role has completely changed. In this image, he appears stunned and helpless, pulling his sleigh no longer filled with presents, but with the bodies of those who perished amidst the destruction.
Santa, who once brought hope, now stands in the heart of tragedy, witnessing a reality beyond imagination. There are no celebrations here, no lights, and no children's laughter. Only screams, tears, and rubble that tells stories of pain.
I am a father living in the midst of this scene. I live in constant fear for my little child who does not know the meaning of life. My infant son Mohammed suffers from an illness and also malnutrition.

After seven therapists, four psychiatrists, several antidepressants/other medications, multiple therapy methods, alternative medicines, changes in lifestyle, etc ā¦. Itās become clear that I need special aid in order to have a better quality of life.
At the moment, my mom accompanies me everywhere. When she leaves home, Iām already stretched thin. And although her presence keeps me calm, sheās not very skilled at preventing attacks from happening, or de-escalating them if they do. The constant accompanying is a strain for her, as well.
My hope is that a service dog will provide me with a reliable grounding presence. It can be trained to provide tactiles like body pressure, mouthing, licks. It can smell my triggers, lead me to safe spaces, block a personal space bubble, find help if I need it, and bring me the daily calmness that everyone else enjoys. American law would allow me to bring my service dog to all public spaces, businesses, and during emergencies.
With a service dog, perhaps I can again walk five blocks to the cafe, and use public transport, attend parties and events, manage a full-time job, fly overseas to visit my family, and so much more. I want to get my life going again.
Iām asking for $5,500. A bred puppy (service dogs are trained from a young age, and good breeding is highly recommended) costs around $2,000, the estimated annual cost for a dog is $2,000, and the Owner Trainer Academy is $1,575.
With your help, I could fulfill my dreams within just a couple years! Any and all aid is greatly appreciated!
