It's no longer just toothache for my daughter Mirna… Her damaged back teeth have caused severe gum inflammation, and she's unable to swallow her saliva. Mirna has endured this pain for months, but her condition has worsened, and she urgently needs medical attention. Our dire circumstances in Gaza prevent us from raising the $340 needed to continue her treatment and purchase the necessary medications, while the pain continues to haunt her relentlessly, day and night. Please, if you are reading this appeal, don't just pass it by without trying to help us. You are closer to alleviating Mirna's suffering than anyone who hasn't witnessed her pain. I implore you, donate what you can, or do anything you can to help us. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings my daughter closer to the treatment she needs. 🙏 Donation link 🔗 chuffed.org/project/199084-h…

I'm sharing this video because words alone are no longer enough to describe what my daughter Mirna is going through. This is the pain she's been enduring for months. She has three damaged back teeth that need root canals, but the tightening of the blockade and the high cost of medical supplies in Gaza have made the treatment cost $400. We are living in extremely difficult living and health conditions, and it has become impossible for us to afford my daughter's treatment without your help. Mirna's mouth is swollen now, and she can't even lift her head because of the pain. Please, I beg you, help me raise the $400 needed to end her suffering. Every donation, no matter how small, will go towards her treatment sessions as soon as possible. 🙏 🔗 chuffed.org/project/199084-h…

If you see my daughter Mirna's picture and feel her pain, yet continue scrolling without reacting, please don't feel guilty. But if you are able to help her, even with a small amount, don't assume your contribution won't make a difference, or that someone else will step in. The painful truth is that many people assume others will intervene. In Gaza, where harsh living and health conditions are overwhelming, my daughter Mirna has suffered the complete destruction of three of her back molars. We are desperately trying to raise $400 to cover the costs of her urgent treatment and help her recover. Believe me, asking for help through a small account like this on X is truly heartbreaking. It wasn't easy for me to write these words, but I am a helpless mother who sees her child in pain and wants to do what I can to help her. Therefore, if this appeal reaches you, please donate what you can, and do anything you can to help me save my child from this constant pain she is suffering, amidst these impossible circumstances we are living in in Gaza. 🙏 🔗 chuffed.org/project/199084-h…

I am writing to you from the heart of the suffering in Gaza, and frankly, I don't even know where to begin. Nine months after the so-called ceasefire, we are still living under bombardment. People are still being killed inside their tents without any warning, and we live in constant fear of being displaced again at any moment. After everything we have already lost, there is nothing left to make us feel safe, not even a little bit. What pains me most is that, even after all these months, getting enough food and securing our basic needs remains a daily, unending struggle. I wake up every day trying to find a way to help us get through another day, but honestly, I no longer know how we will manage. I need $100 a day to help my family afford basic food and other essential needs. I wish I didn't have to turn to you with this request, but I can't pretend we are managing when the truth is we are suffering. I know everyone has their own circumstances and difficulties, and I never want to put you under any pressure for our sake. But I consider you my family, and that's why I wanted to be honest with you about what we're going through, rather than remain silent while my family struggles day after day to secure our basic needs amidst these impossible circumstances. I hope that one day I can write to you about something other than our suffering and our need for help. Until that day comes, please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers, and support us in any way you can. No matter how small the amount, your help makes a real difference in our lives and helps us to keep going for another day. 🙏 🔗chuffed.org/project/199084-h…

How can I protect my daughter from infection when seven of us are living in a single, cramped tent in Gaza? 💔 My little daughter Rahaf is suffering from a painful bacterial infection that has spread rapidly across several parts of her tiny body. After carrying out the necessary tests today, the doctor advised us to isolate her from her four siblings as much as possible, provide her with her own bed and bedding, and change all her clothes. But how can I follow these recommendations when we can barely afford our basic food? For three years, we have been living in a crowded displacement tent, where maintaining hygiene and providing clean bedding and the separate space my daughter needs to recover have become incredibly difficult. I am terrified that the infection could worsen, develop into deeper infections, or spread into her bloodstream. All I want is to provide Rahaf with the essentials she needs and help her recover in a safer environment. I desperately need $400 to provide the supplies her doctor recommended, but I honestly don't know how I will raise this amount when I am already struggling to afford my children's most basic needs. Please, don't leave Rahaf to face this illness without the care she needs. Please consider making a donation today, no matter how small, so I can care for my little girl in these unbearable conditions in Gaza. 🙏🏻 🔗 chuffed.org/project/199084-h…

The harsh environmental conditions we endure inside our displacement tents in Gaza have caused my daughter Rahaf to develop painful bacterial infections in multiple parts of her small body. I am a mother of five, and for days I have been living in fear that Rahaf's condition will worsen and that her suffering will turn into a new ordeal for her four siblings if the infection spreads to them in our cramped tent. What frightens me most is that the redness and swelling are spreading rapidly throughout her body. I am now afraid that the infection will develop into serious complications, such as entering her bloodstream or causing tissue damage in the affected areas if treatment is delayed any longer. We urgently need $300 to provide the treatment and urgent medical care that my daughter needs. Please don't leave me alone in this fear and suffering. Help us save my daughter from this pain with any donation you can make. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to providing Rahaf with the treatment and care she needs.🙏🥹 🔗 chuffed.org/project/199084-h…

A painful silence... 💔 No donations have come in yet, and my infant son, Yaman, is still suffering from a serious infection that requires urgent treatment, while he remains hospitalized since the day before yesterday. Please, I beg you a thousand times, don’t scroll past my appeal without trying to help us. Please make a donation today, whatever you can afford, to help my baby Yaman receive the urgent treatment he needs. We desperately need just $200: $100 to provide his essential medications. $100 to cover the medical expenses incurred during his hospital stay. 🔗 chuffed.org/project/199084-h…

For the past five days, I've been trying to raise enough money to build a simple tent to protect my five children from the winter cold in Gaza. Unfortunately, the cold got the better of me, and now I'm facing an even greater tragedy. My baby, Yaman, has contracted a serious infection that requires urgent treatment and hospitalization. His temperature has reached 40 degrees Celsius, he has stopped breastfeeding completely, and he is having great difficulty breathing. In Gaza, you don't know where to begin when misfortunes surround you from all sides. I was trying to secure basic shelter for my children, and now I am unable to afford my baby's treatment. Please, we urgently need $400 to cover his necessary tests, medications, and urgent medical care. I am writing to you not knowing what else to do. Please, don't leave me helpless in these impossible circumstances to treat my child. Help me with whatever you can before his condition worsens. This is a serious infection. 🙏🥹 🔗 chuffed.org/project/199084-h…

The situation my family and I are living in in Gaza is incredibly dire, so dire that words fail me. We are a family of seven, including a one-month-old baby and an injured husband. We live in a tattered, dilapidated tent that can barely be called a tent. Now, with the cold intensifying and winter upon us, we have nowhere else to shelter our children. I don't even have enough money to feed them, and with each passing day, I feel more and more helpless in the face of their needs, which I cannot meet. I am asking for your help again today to raise $600 to build a simple tent for my family before our tent collapses completely and we suddenly find ourselves in the middle of the night, exposed to the elements, without shelter. I beg you, a million times over… please help my family with any donation you can, no matter how small, and share our campaign with anyone who can help us. 🙏🥹 🔗 chuffed.org/project/199084-h…
