Hello, my name is Areej Kassab. I’m a 27-year-old English teacher and writer from Gaza, and I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for support. My family and I are enduring unimaginable hardships as relentless bombings devastate our home and our dreams.
We are a family of 15—10 adults and 5 children. Every day is a battle for survival. Food is scarce, humanitarian aid is not reaching us, and my little nieces and nephews go to bed hungry. Among them is my sister, who is deaf, and another sister who has a newborn baby. They, too, are suffering in this crisis, and I’m doing everything I can to protect and provide for them.
💔 A Life in Ruins The war has robbed us of everything: safety, peace, and even the hope of a future here. My family’s needs are basic yet critical—food, clean water, diapers for the babies, gas for cooking, and other essentials to make it through each day.
With rising prices and limited access to necessities, we are struggling to provide even the most basic items. My sister’s home has been destroyed, and we are working together to ensure everyone has shelter, food, and warmth.
✨ My Plea for Your Support ✨ I’m a writer, and I’ve been documenting the harsh realities faced by my community under siege. But words can only do so much. We need action, and we need help. Your kindness can save us.

With love and gratitude, Areej Kassab ❤️

The image you see is not from a war movie. It's a real X-ray of a Palestinian child. A sniper's bullet pierced her skull. This was not an accident. It was a calculated shot — to the head. How many children must bleed before the world opens its eyes?
I see this, and I tremble. Because I, too, am a mother. My own child is injured. He cries every night from pain. He needs urgent medical care — but we are trapped under siege, under fear, under silence.
How long before my son becomes another X-ray? Another hashtag? Another number?
If you're reading this, you have power — power to share, power to donate, power to care.
Help me get my son out. Help save him before it’s too late. Gaza’s children are not targets. They are lives. They are futures. Please don’t look away

UPDATE..
I woke up at 6 a.m.
I looked up at my sky, as I do every morning.
I saw the sun's rays gently creeping in as it began to rise.
I didn't see the rubble around me.
It was as if nature was comforting me by hiding the devastation from my eyes and granting me a moment of serenity.
Today, I am... very well,
despite everything.
From Dair Al Balah, Gaza, Palestine. I write to you, a living pulse from among the rubble. 💕
Despite the scarcity of products, we got a box of cappuccino. I celebrated this, Lol 😁✌🏻
Made it for me, my husband and my sister with love ☺️@hassanbadrasawi

Hello everyone..👋
I’m reaching out with a heavy heart but a hopeful spirit. My name is Mahmoud, a 17-year-old from Gaza, where life has taken a devastating turn. The war has left my city in ruins, shattering dreams and hopes along the way.
But I’m not giving up. I have a chance to continue my education abroad, away from the destruction, and I need your help to make it happen. This isn’t just about me; it’s about my family, my future, and the resilience of a community that refuses to be defeated.
I’m trying to raise 15000$ CAD to cover the costs of relocating and living expenses. Every donation, every share, brings me closer to a future where I can thrive and eventually give back to those I’ve left behind.
Please consider supporting my journey. Together, we can build something beautiful out of the rubble.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity. ❤️

Dear Friends,
I write to you with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart. After 188 days of displacement, constant fear, and struggling to survive, we managed to escape with our lives and reach Egypt. But the pain didn’t stop there. Just yesterday, we lost my children's grandfather 💔, not due to direct war, but because of malnutrition and the lack of basic life necessities. We couldn’t save him, just as we couldn’t save our home or our dreams.
The rest of my family is still trapped in the war, suffering the same harsh conditions that led to the passing of my children's grandfather. We are here trying to build a new life, but we have lost everything. We lost our home, and my children were deprived of their schools and universities. Even my eldest son, who worked so hard to build his future, lost his job and saw his dreams shattered.😔
We are now in desperate need of your help. We seek to secure a safe home that will provide us and our children with basic needs. Life in Egypt is extremely difficult, and prices are soaring beyond our reach. All we ask for is a chance to rebuild our lives and secure a better future for our children.🙏🏼
From the depths of my heart, I ask you to stand by us in these difficult times. Your support means hope and life to us.🙌🏼🇵🇸
