A Mother’s Plea from Gaza: Help My Children Survive and Thrive

My name is Alaa Ziad.

 I am 35 years old and from Gaza. I am a mother of three beautiful children—Qamar (6), Mohamad (5), and Eleen (3)—and I am pregnant again.

Our life was once stable and comfortable, filled with dreams and hopes for the future. But the war has destroyed everything, taking away our home, our safety, and our peace.

We only wanted a simple, safe, and happy life for our children, but now even the most basic things—food, shelter, and safety—have become impossible to provide. Every day, we live with hunger, fear, and uncertainty. We have faced illnesses and unimaginable hardships, yet somehow, we have survived.

All I wish for is to give my children a chance at a normal life. They deserve to play, laugh, and grow up safely. They deserve hope.

Here’s what my children and I urgently need:

Basic Survival Needs:

• Nutritious food for Qamar, Mohamad, Eleen, and the newborn
• Clean drinking water
• Essential medicines and medical care

Shelter and Safety:

• Safe and stable housing
• Blankets, mattresses, and bedding
• Clothing for all seasons

Children’s Wellbeing:

• Hygiene supplies (soap, diapers, sanitary products)
• School supplies and educational materials for Qamar and Mohamad
• Toys and items for emotional comfort

Support for the Mother:

• Prenatal care and medical support during pregnancy
• Mental health and emotional support
• Financial assistance for daily expenses

Every donation, no matter how small, can give my children a chance at life, safety, and hope. Please help us survive today and dream again tomorrow.
