Mohamed Naim's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon chuffed.org/project/help-moh… Please donate and share You won’t end the war But you can end someone’s hunger Mohamed Naim is a 24-year-old Palestinian nurse from Gaza who had been training in an intensive care unit before the genocide forced him and his family from their home in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza. After occupation forces expelled them and took the money they had with them, the family fled south to Gaza City and later to Deir Al Balah, where donations helped them rent a small plot of land for several weeks before they returned to Gaza City following the ceasefire announcement on October 10. Mohamed now spends his days trying to support his sisters and their children while living through severe shortages of food, water, and shelter as famine and destruction continue to spread across Gaza. The family has endured repeated loss, including the killing of Mohamed’s cousin, Yahya, in an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City market on May 7, 2025, and the death of his newborn nephew, who had a heart condition and could not be evacuated in time for treatment. Donations received so far have helped the family buy food and meet urgent daily needs, and ongoing support is being used for essentials such as flour, canned food, shelter, and basic survival supplies as prices for necessities continue to rise dramatically across Gaza.
"The hardest part is not the destroyed stones, but the torn souls and the memories we cannot take with us. How difficult it is for a person to get used to leaving, and how cruel it is when displacement becomes a repeated fate." 🥀💔

🚨The last donation was 5 days ago🚨 Ahmed Nashwan's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon chuffed.org/project/199006-h… Please donate and share Feed a Family in Gaza Every Dollar Fights Starvation Ahmed Nashwan, a 29-year-old accountant from Gaza, lives with his brother Omar's family, including Omar's wife Hanadi and their four young children, Fathi, Mira, Kenda, and Nizar, while also supporting his elderly parents and helping care for a total of eighteen nieces and nephews from his siblings. Since the start of the genocide, their home and Omar's pharmacy have been destroyed, forcing the extended family to endure more than ten displacements, moving repeatedly between tents, streets, university buildings, and hospitals in search of safety. Now unemployed and without resources, they struggle daily to secure basic necessities amid widespread shortages of water, electricity, and sanitation across Gaza. Ahmed's father, who spent 35 years teaching English for UNRWA and educating generations of children, was seriously injured in the bombings and requires surgery in Egypt to regain his ability to walk, along with associated medical and transportation costs. Donations to the emergency fund provide essential supplies, medicine, and hope, helping the family meet immediate needs and work toward a more secure future.
I don’t know how to describe the extent of the helplessness and anguish we are experiencing right now. We are not asking for luxury, nor are we even dreaming of a dignified life. We are simply trying to find something to feed our children, while soaring prices consume whatever little ability we have left to keep going. For many days, I have stood helpless in front of more than 18 children of my nephews and nieces. Children whose only fault in this life is that they were born in Gaza. Today, they are being deprived of their most basic rights, to eat when they are hungry and to sleep without being haunted by the fear of going hungry the next day. How painful it is to feel responsible for children, to see their needs right before your eyes, and yet be unable to provide even the simplest necessities for them. How heartbreaking it is to watch their childhood being taken away, not because they lack dreams, but because you can no longer afford to buy food. I am writing to you today with whatever strength I have left, desperately pleading with you to help me afford food for these little ones. chuffed.org/project/199006-h…

Ahmed Albordani's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon chuffed.org/project/153652-a… Please donate and share Every contribution, large or small, saves lives Ahmed Albordani, a 22-year-old from Gaza, is trying to support his family of ten after their home was destroyed, forcing them to move repeatedly before settling in a tent that offers little protection from the weather or nearby strikes. The family has no stable income and struggles to afford food, clean water, clothing, hygiene supplies, and medical care, while trying to keep the younger children safe. Before the genocide, Ahmed was a student with plans for his future, but his education has been interrupted as he focuses on helping his family meet their basic needs. His wife is also due to give birth soon, and he is worried about how he will provide the baby with formula, diapers, and clothes. Despite the difficulties they face, Ahmed hopes to continue his education when circumstances allow, but for now, his priority is caring for his family and preparing for the new baby. Any support, even a small donation, would help them afford essential supplies, and sharing his story could also make a difference.
Dear friends, My wife is due to give birth soon in Gaza, and I am unable to provide formula, diapers, or clothes for the baby. If anyone can help—even with just a dollar—or share this post, may God reward you with goodness. #Gaza chuffed.org/project/153652-a…

🚨Campaign manager needed🚨 Waseem Al-Arja's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon If anyone can help by opening a campaign It would be a tremendous help to this family Waseem Al-Arja, a 28-year-old married father of four, three boys and a girl born during the ongoing genocide, is a graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Al-Quds Open University. Before the siege on Gaza, he supported his family through work at a butcher shop, but he has been unemployed since losing that job. Their home in Rafah was destroyed, forcing the family to flee and resettle in Khan Younis, where they now live in a small tent that offers little protection from the cold, allows insects to enter, and contributes to recurring illnesses among the children. With no steady income, they struggle daily to afford sufficient food, clean water, or basic necessities, leaving the young children frequently hungry and unwell. Donations to support Waseem’s family would help provide essential supplies to address these immediate needs and offer a measure of stability amid their difficult circumstances.

🚨The last donation was 20 days ago🚨 Loai's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon gofundme.com/f/help-loai-and… Please donate and share Small hands need your helping hand Loai is a pharmacist from Gaza, a married man and father of three children, two young daughters, Farah (3.5) and Nour (1.5) and a newborn son, who lost both his family home and the community pharmacy he built when they were completely destroyed, leaving his family without stable shelter or income. The pharmacy had been an important source of medicines and care for people in the area, and its loss has affected not only his family but also those who relied on it. Now displaced and unable to rebuild on his own, Loai is trying to gather support to restart his work while also providing for his wife and children. He continues to speak about the need for even small contributions, explaining that any help can ease the situation for his family and allow him to restore a service his community depends on.

🚨Campaign manager needed🚨 Newly #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon today If anyone can help by opening a campaign It would be a tremendous help to this family Alaa Hamad, 30, lives in Gaza with his 23-year-old wife, their 4-year-old child who has severe disabilities, and his brother’s family, making eight people in total. His wife and child have been evacuated from Gaza but are expected to return soon. Their home was destroyed during the genocide, and the family has been displaced at least nine times. They are now living in a rented home that costs $500 per month, but Alaa is unemployed and has no stable income to cover the rent or provide for the family’s basic needs. Caring for their young child requires additional support and essential supplies that they struggle to afford. Alaa also has a nerve condition that requires medication costing $70 per month. The family receives very little assistance because they live outside an encampment and are not eligible for aid packages, while no soup kitchen operates in their area; the only regular service they can access is water distribution. With limited access to food, shelter, medical care, and other necessities, Alaa is asking for help to create a safe donation link so people can support his family. Until they can arrange one, he hopes that sharing their story will help them reach people willing to assist with rent, food, medication, and the special care their child needs.
From Gaza, we are asking for your kindness. My family is struggling to survive and urgently needs food, water, medicine, and basic necessities. Please help us through these difficult days. Even a small donation can bring hope and make a real difference in our lives. 🙏💔

🚨$0 raised so far🚨 Newly #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon today chuffed.org/project/205364-a… Please donate and share Your spare change is someone's survival Asmaa Ahmed, 26, lives in Gaza with her husband, their baby son Maher, and her parents-in-law after their home was completely destroyed during the genocide. The family has been displaced around eight times, and after their tent was damaged beyond repair by the sun and wind, they had to rent a room for $100 a month, which they are now struggling to afford. Maher was born during the genocide and has experienced serious health problems that required hospitalization and medical treatment. His milk and diapers alone cost between $150 and $200 a month, and the family also needs medicine, food, warm clothes for winter, and other basic necessities. Their situation became even more difficult when Asmaa’s husband, who had been working to repair damaged homes, fell when an unsafe balcony collapsed beneath him on the second floor, leaving him with several leg fractures. He is currently unable to walk and needs painkillers and vitamins, leaving the family without any source of income. They share their rented room with Asmaa’s parents-in-law, and her mother-in-law has high blood pressure, with medication costing around $70 a month. There is no soup kitchen, water distribution, or other aid available in their area, so everything must be purchased. Asmaa hopes to receive support to secure safer shelter, whether by purchasing a new tent or finding a way to keep paying rent, and to provide Maher and the rest of the family with food, medicine, clothing, and other essentials. With no income and several family members needing care, she is asking for help to meet their basic needs and give her son a safer, more stable place to grow up.

Speaker #5 Umm Uday @fatenaana1989 Umm Uday, a 37-year-old mother, lives with her husband and their four children in a single small room at a relative’s house in Gaza. Their own home was destroyed during the genocide, and the family has been displaced more than six times. The children are Hassan, aged 13, Hala, aged 10, Muhammad, aged 7, and little Uday, who is 1.5 years old. They now need to find a new place to live because the relative’s son is getting married and the family can no longer stay there. Both Umm Uday and her husband are unemployed and have no regular income. They have been sending the three oldest children to school, at a cost of about $30 to $40 per child each month, but they cannot afford the additional $100 per child for school materials. Ten-year-old Hala has weak eyesight and has had to stop attending school because the family cannot yet buy the glasses she needs. Both Hala and little Uday suffer from recurring respiratory problems and require Ventolin and other medicines that cost around $65 to $70 each month. Little Uday also needs milk, diapers, and proper nutrition to avoid malnutrition. For over two years the family has relied on soup-kitchen meals and has never launched any donation campaign. Most evenings Umm Uday puts the children to bed early to help them sleep through their hunger. They are hoping to find their own room rather than a tent, as the cold and damp would make the children’s breathing difficulties much worse. chuffed.org/project/161729-h…

Speaker #1 Amani Ibrahem Abu Tayyem @Amanitayyem3 Amani Ibrahim Abu Tayyem, 31, and her husband Karam Fahmy Shaheen, 30, live with their three children, Saad, who is 5½ years old, Ezz, who is 3½ years old, and Kenzi, who is an infant, in a damaged tent in Gaza that leaks when it rains, often forcing the family to seek shelter elsewhere. Their home in Rafah, along with Karam’s barbershop and Amani’s online women’s clothing business, was destroyed in an airstrike in November 2023, and the family has been displaced four times since October 2023. The couple were previously parents of four children; in May 2021, shortly after a ceasefire, their daughter Ghina, aged 3½, panicked at the loud noise of a low-flying jet while playing at a neighbor’s house, ran to hide, fell down the stairs, and died instantly, an indirect but lasting consequence of the siege that continues to heighten their fears for the safety of Saad, Ezz, and Kenzi. Saad is unable to attend school because of the distance and the family’s lack of funds for transportation or meals, while they rely entirely on soup kitchens and donations for food. Karam has no current income after losing his barber tools in the destruction, and replacing the equipment would cost around $500–$1,500. The family is seeking support for immediate needs including a better tent, winter clothing, diapers, milk, food, school expenses for Saad, and tools for Karam to resume work, with the longer-term goal of evacuating to Egypt for greater security. gofundme.com/f/help-karams-f…

Muhannad Abu Jalhoum's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon chuffed.org/project/127682-h… Please donate and share Stand with the living Your spare change is someone's survival Muhannad Abu Jalhoum is a 21-year-old married man from Gaza and the eldest of seven siblings who has taken on the responsibility of supporting his family after their home was completely destroyed in an October 2023 bombing while they were inside, leaving them all injured but able to escape. Since then, the family has been displaced multiple times, moving from northern Gaza to Rafah and later to a tent in the western area, where they now live with limited access to basic needs. Muhannad spends his time trying to secure food, water, and medical care, especially as his mother lives with diabetes under harsh conditions, while his pregnant wife also needs consistent care, nutrition, and medication. Before the genocide, he was studying engineering, but his education has been paused indefinitely. Despite everything, he continues to focus on keeping his family stable and hopes to one day resume his studies, travel abroad, and rebuild their home. Donations have helped them afford some essentials, but with colder weather approaching and their current shelter offering little protection, they still need at least 500 dollars to secure a more suitable tent and get through the coming months.

Maryam's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon chuffed.org/project/121663-h… Please donate and share Aid isn't political People are people Maryam is a 17-year-old girl living in Gaza with her family of ten, including her parents and siblings, where they had been living a stable and comfortable life before October 7, 2023, when the genocide disrupted everything and forced her to stop her education during tenth grade. In 2019, she underwent a complex surgery in Jordan on her left ear after decay had reached the bones of her skull, a procedure that involved removing the decay, repairing the eardrum, and reconstructing the ossicles, and she was supposed to attend follow-up examinations every three months. Since the siege began, the constant bombardment has caused her significant pain in that ear, adding to the daily strain she faces. The family is now dealing with serious shortages of food, clothing, and basic needs, and their situation has become more difficult after her father’s car, which he relies on for work and is their only source of income, broke down, leaving them struggling to provide essentials. Despite this, Maryam has expressed gratitude for the support she has received, saying it helped restore a sense of hope and security, while she continues to seek assistance to repair the car so her father can work again and to help the family meet their needs and eventually find a way to evacuate safely.

🚨The last donation was 26 days ago🚨 Diaa Al-Najjar's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon chuffed.org/project/130785-d… Please donate and share Every dollar is a lifeline Diaa Al-Najjar is a 32-year-old former barber from Gaza City who is now living in Khan Yunis with a large extended family after the genocide destroyed both his home and his barber shop. He lives with his wife, who recently gave birth to their fifth child, their four other children, his 60-year-old father, who struggles with hearing loss and the effects of old age, and his 55-year-old mother, Ma’rouf, who suffers from a heart condition and a weak heart muscle. Also living with them is his widowed sister, whose husband was martyred, along with her three children, in addition to other relatives, making the tent they share overcrowded and difficult to live in. Before the genocide, Diaa had a stable life and worked hard at his profession, but now the family faces daily hardship with limited access to food, clean water, and medical care, and signs of malnutrition are affecting several members. The situation is especially urgent as his wife has been very ill due to malnutrition during pregnancy, putting both her and the newborn at risk. Despite these conditions, Diaa hopes for support that could help provide basic supplies, medical treatment, and nutrition so his family can endure the current situation and eventually return to a more stable life where he can work again.
I hope all my friends will help me buy a tarpaulin to cover my tent. I implore those with kind hearts to help me buy a tent for my family. Please, I am in dire need of food and medicine. I have five children whom I cannot care for alone.🙏🏼🙏🏼💔😭🇵🇸 chuffed.org/project/130785-d…
