Last night, π§οΈ as heavy rain poured and fierce winds howled, π¬οΈ and darkness cloaked the world like a heavy curtain, π my children found a small cat by the door of our tent. πΎ It looked at them with frightened eyes, π seeking the warmth of their little bodies and the safety of their embrace. π€² Without hesitation, they gently carried it, β€οΈ brought it into their tattered bed, ποΈ and fed it and gave it water from the little they had. ππ§
The cat slept peacefully among them, π΄ unaware that it had chosen a cold refuge, βοΈ surrounded by shivering little bodies. π₯Ά It didnβt know that those who made it feel safe were themselves terrified by the roar of airplanes βοΈ and the relentless sounds of bombing. π₯
In a world of war, where the hearts of grown-ups shrink under the weight of pain, π the hearts of children remain vast. π Their hearts are tender, while the war is harsh... unbearably harsh. π

Five-year-old Mariam,πwith her bright pink backpack and tiny hands clutching a red rose, was ready to head to her KG2 class. It was a Saturday morning, October 7, and Mariam was filled with excitement and pride for reaching the next stage of her education. She wanted to surprise her kind teacher with that little rose. But in an instant, her world β our world β was torn apart.
Without warning, the skies filled with the sounds of explosions. The joyful morning turned into a nightmare of dust, fear, and destruction. Her preschool was shattered, her teacherβs life taken, and our neighborhood became a place of ruin. That single day marked the beginning of a relentless assault on Gaza β a place where childhood dreams, laughter, and innocence were erased in moments.
I am Khaled Ismail, a 41-year-old father, and my wife Rasha is 32. We live in Gaza with our three children. Our youngest, beautiful Mariamπ, is just five years old. Our eldest, Walid, 12, is a boy full of dreams, always hoping to become an inventor. And in the middle, thereβs Karim, our 10-year-old, whose laughter and jokes used to brighten our darkest days.
But the war has left scars that words cannot heal. The day of the first airstrike changed everything. Rubble covered their toys, and black dust filled the air. The sound of my childrenβs cries mixed with the chaos of families running for their lives. We left our home that day, desperately searching for safety. But every step, every shelter, brought only more destruction.
For a year now, we have been displaced, moving from one place to another, only to be met with more violence. Today, our home is nothing more than a frail tent. It offers no shelter from the burning heat of summer or the biting cold of winter. My childrenβs small bodies are battered by this reality β malnutrition, intestinal infections, heat stroke, and even hepatitis are constant threats.
I have nothing left to change our situation. My children have lost everything. I have lost everything. Their childhood is buried under the rubble, their dreams replaced by survival, and their once-joyful laughter now a faint memory.
I am humbly reaching out to you with a plea to help us escape this endless nightmare. Our dream is simple: to find safety, to give our children a chance at life, to give Mariam and her brothers a future. With every dollar, you offer a glimmer of hope, a step closer to a place where they can finally be children again.
Please, be the reason my family finds peace. Your support, even just one dollar, can make all the difference. Together, we can turn this story of despair into one of hope and resilience. Start today, and be a part of the miracle we need.
Help Mariamπ. Help my family. Let us find a place to live with dignity and hope. Thank you for reading, and thank you for caring.
The home is a place of safety and warmth, where you retreat when the noise of life becomes too overwhelming. But where do you escape when home becomes a mirage or just a piece of cloth spread on the ground, covering you under the open sky? (π) Once, we loved the sound of rain and its droplets hitting the window while enjoying a warm drink. Now, we pray for winter to be delayed, out of mercy for our children and their tired bodies.

A heartfelt thank you to the generous donor, "Nora M" Whether male or female, this person undoubtedly has a kind and noble heart. Their generous donation of 150 CAD was a lifeline for my family and the largest donation we've received in over a month and a half.
This anonymous donor brought smiles to our faces and hope to our hearts.
How I wish I could meet them to express my gratitude in person and tell them how much their kindness has impacted our lives.
My friends, I urge you to share my story and encourage others to contribute to saving my family. Every helping hand is a new ray of hope for us.

I am Khaled, a father of Mariam and her two children, living with my small family in northern Gaza. We once dreamed of a peaceful and secure life, but the war destroyed our home, forcing us to live in tents that offer no protection from the winter cold βοΈ or the heavy rain π§οΈ.
Today, my children live amidst the cold, hunger, and fear π. My daughter Maryam and her brothers sleep on the ground with no sense of safety, dreaming only of a warm home π and a brighter future π.
Every small donation π makes a big difference in our lives. Join us in bringing hope and security back to our family. Together, we can rebuild a future full of peace and warmth π.
We urgently need your help to move out of danger zones, protect our children, and build a better life for them.
