Dear friends, 

I am writing to you with a heartfelt plea and a call for help. I am organising a fundraising campaign for Hanan, who is fighting to keep her family alive in extremely difficult conditions. I am a mother, just like Hanan, as well as a social worker, and I am involved in social projects. Humanity, solidarity and mutual support are values that matter deeply to me. 

With your help, I would like to collect financial contributions that could save Hanan and her children. For two months now (59 days as of 29 April 2025), neither food nor medicines have been reaching Gaza; the cost of food, hygiene products, medicines and other essentials continues to rise, and families find themselves without the basic necessities of life.

Hanan’s story:

My name is Hanan, I am 34 years old and I am a mother of six children. My family is currently going through an immeasurable tragedy. I was born in Gaza, where I went to university. Before the war, I worked as a primary school teacher. My children went to school, studied and played. My husband Ahmed, who is 37, and I lived a normal, peaceful life.

I have three daughters and three sons: 

Shaze (15), Dareen (14), Sari (11),

Abdul Rahman (10), Ismail (5) and Khalil (1). 

Now our lives have been turned upside down.Our home was completely destroyed by bombing; only rubble remains. We were forced to leave our refuge nine times with the children; we were displaced many times, living in makeshift camps, in tents and in constant fear. We are now back in a makeshift tent. The situation has deteriorated dramatically – my children are starving; we lack food, drinking water, medicines and clothing. We need financial assistance so that my husband and I can provide them with food and clean water. Food is becoming increasingly scarce and prices are extremely high. 

My little sons, Khalil and Ismail, have fallen ill due to malnutrition. Khalil is just one year old; he urgently needs nappies and milk. I am askingfor your helpso that I can provide him with basic care. Your financial contributions can save my children’s lives. I want to save my children and give them hope for a new life in a new home. Our house, which was completely destroyed, we wish to rebuild and start a new life. We want to return to our home in our house.

Dear friends,

I am turning to you with an urgent plea and an appeal for help. I am organising a fundraiser for Hanan, who is struggling to ensure her family’s survival in extremely difficult conditions. Like Hanan, I am a mother. I am a social worker and I am involved in social projects as well. Humanity, solidarity and mutual help are values that matter to me.

With your help, I would like to collect donations that can save Hanan and her children. For two months now, food and medicine have not been reaching Gaza; the price of food, toiletries, medicine and other necessities continues to skyrocket, and families are deprived of the basic necessities of life.

Hanan’s story:

My name is Hanan, I am 34 years old and a mother of six children. My family is currently experiencing an immeasurable tragedy. I was born in Gaza, where I studied at university. Before the war, I worked as a primary school teacher. My children went to school, were happy and played. With my husband Ahmed, who is 37 years old, we lived a normal and peaceful life.

I have three daughters and three sons:

Shaze (15), Dareen (14), Sari (11), Abdul Rahman (10), Ismail (5) and Khalil (1).

Now our lives have been turned upside down. Our home has been completely destroyed by bombing; only rubble remains. My children and I have been forced to leave our shelter nine times; we have been displaced many times, living in makeshift camps, tents and in constant fear. Now we are once again in a makeshift tent. The situation has worsened dramatically – my children are starving; we are short of food, drinking water, medicine and clothing. We need financial help so that my husband and I can provide them with food and clean water. Food has become scarce and prices are extremely high.

My young sons, Khalil and Ismail, have fallen ill as a result of malnutrition. Khalil is only one year old; he urgently needs nappies and milk. I am asking for your help so that I can provide him with basic care. Your financial contributions can save the lives of my children. I want to save my children, rebuild our home and give them hope for a new life. Our house was completely destroyed; we wish to rebuild it and start a new life. We want to return to our home.
