My children and the children of Gaza aren't asking for the impossible… they simply want to live with dignity. We're not seeking luxury, but the most basic rights: safety, food, and medicine. In our small tent, we fight for survival every day… My children go to sleep in fear and wake up in pain, and I stand helpless before their needs. I appeal to every compassionate heart… Don't leave us alone. Help my children and the children of my camp; they deserve a chance at life like any other child in this world. Your donation, even just $10, can make a huge difference… It could buy milk for a hungry child or warmth for a child shivering from the cold. Be the hope we cling to… Stand by us in this difficult time; we need you now more than ever. The donation link is in my bio. May God reward you.
I was overjoyed when I received formula for my little girl, Revan. I thought her suffering would ease and that I would finally be able to feed her safely… but my shock was devastating. I discovered that the five cans I received were expired. What injustice is this? What sin did my innocent child commit to be deprived of even her most basic right… safe drinking milk? And what about the children of Gaza? How long will children continue to pay the price for circumstances beyond their control? Here in the camp, we are living through harsh times, struggling for a morsel of food and a decent life for our children, but even the aid that reaches us is no longer safe. I appeal to every person with a heart and compassion… help us protect our children. Your donations are not a luxury… they are life for my little girl, Revan, and hope for the children of the camp who go to bed hungry. Be our support in this darkness… just a few of you can make a huge difference in the lives of children who have nothing but prayers. I hope for help and donations via the link in my bio.
One of my children, Rivan and Jouri's, most basic rights is to live in dignity… to sleep safely without fear, and to wake up to hope, not to the sound of pain. But our lives in Gaza have become an indescribable tragedy… Every day that passes, we lose something more of our safety, our peace of mind, our very lives… My children aren't asking for the impossible; they simply want to live like other children in the world… to eat, to be clothed, to feel safe. I appeal to every person with a living heart… Help us, don't leave us alone in this pain… Your donation could save a life, bring a smile, restore hope to two little girls who have lost so much… Please, stand with us… We need you now more than ever. Donate via the link in my bio.

Our children have the right to learn… the right to dream… the right to live normal lives like other children around the world. But war has stolen everything from them… destroyed their childhood, robbed them of their dreams, and left everything around them in ruins and painful memories. They no longer have a school, no safety, not even the most basic necessities. My children today are not looking for toys or luxuries… they are looking for safety, for a chance to learn, for a glimmer of hope to keep them going. I implore you from the bottom of my heart… help us create a spark of hope for them amidst this darkness. We are trying our best to provide them with a safe environment, but we cannot do it alone. Please, do not leave us alone in this suffering… every bit of support from you, no matter how small, could change my children's fate and restore their right to life and education. Help my children… and donate via the link in my bio.

We run the world, it's time we start acting like it. MAY 1ST No work, No School, No Shopping!
It is our labor that keeps the machine working. Therefore we must put our bodies in the gears and levers, we must end our complicity by stopping the machine from working at all.
