🚨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 #4 Shorouq Hassan @shoshoahmad1993 Shorouq Hassan, 33, is a married mother of four living with her family in a damaged tent after being displaced four times when their home was destroyed. The family lost their belongings during displacement and currently has no source of income. They are in need of a replacement tent, as well as regular access to food, clean water, and other basic necessities. Shorouq’s newborn baby requires infant formula and diapers and recently suffered a head injury after a fall and needs medical evaluation and treatment. Shorouq also lives with chronic back disc problems that make walking long distances and lifting difficult, but she is unable to afford the pain medication she needs. The family is facing ongoing shortages of food, medicine, and essential supplies while trying to care for their four children in temporary shelter. chuffed.org/project/187645-p…

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…

🚨The last donation was 7 days ago🚨 Radwan's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon chuffed.org/project/137190-s… Please donate and share Hunger is real in Gaza Your help is even more real Radwan is a 25-year-old chef from Gaza who used to study at university while working to support his family and save money, eventually opening a small dessert shop with a friend after years of effort, but the shop was destroyed during the genocide, ending his source of income. He was seriously injured in the attacks and suffered severe burns, and later developed hepatitis linked to malnutrition, leaving him in ongoing pain while living in very difficult conditions as his neighborhood has been largely destroyed. He now lives with his wife and their baby daughter Massa, who was born in October 2025, and he struggles to provide basic needs such as food, clean water, and shelter for them. Daily life revolves around trying to secure essentials like baby formula, diapers, and appropriate clothing for his daughter, especially with changing weather, while he also hopes to recover enough to work again. Despite losing his business and his health, Radwan continues to look for ways to support his family and rebuild a livelihood, relying on outside support to manage medical needs and basic living costs as he tries to keep his family safe and stable.

Sharif Al-Arja's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon Sharif Al-Arja, 38, a father of six from Rafah, is currently living with his family in a basic tent in the Al Mawasi area of Khan Yunis after being displaced by the ongoing genocide, where conditions remain unstable despite the area being designated for displaced families. The tent provides little protection from the cold, rain, and wind as winter approaches, and access to essential resources is limited, with food supplies such as flour becoming increasingly difficult to find, raising concerns about how he will continue to feed his children. Amid these challenges, Sharif remains focused on providing for his family’s daily needs and maintaining a sense of stability for his children despite the uncertainty surrounding them.
#نعيش إحنا اهل غزة ضروف صعبة للغاية بسبب الاوضاع المعيشية التي نمر بها من مجاعة حقيقية وغلاء للاسعار وفقر شديد نناشد اهل الخير ان يقفو معنا في ضل هذه الازمة الخانقة ونحن اليوم نناشد اهل الخير حتى لا يكون لهم حجة يوم الموقف العظيم يوم نحاججهم امام الله 😥💔💔✌🇵🇸

🚨The last donation was nearly a month ago🚨 Ahmad's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon fundahope.com/en/campaigns/h… Please donate and share Your kindness can feed more than just bodies It feeds souls Ahmad, a husband and father from northern Gaza, lives with his wife who recently gave birth, their one-and-a-half-year-old daughter Sanaa, and his 62 year old father in a nylon tent after their home was destroyed. The family fled south on November 11, 2023 and have since been without stable housing, enough clothing, or reliable access to food. Ahmad has no income due to the ongoing genocide and rising prices make it difficult for him to provide basic needs such as blankets, warm clothes, and diapers for his young children, especially as cold weather and rain affect the camp. His father, who is 62, has chronic asthma and pneumonia and needs regular treatment that is hard to access or afford. Ahmad continues to focus on caring for his family and is seeking support to cover daily needs, secure medical care for his father, and work toward a safer and more stable future.
Today, August 9, 2025, I gave birth to a new baby for our family. He will be a light and a joy for us, but my baby needs milk and diapers, which I could not provide due to the war on Gaza. Please donate to us. fundahope.com/en/campaigns/h…
