I’m Asala, a mother of three children in Gaza. 🤍
Every day, I try to look strong in front of my children, while inside, I am a mother exhausted by fear and helplessness.
My son Muhammad and my daughter Ahlam simply dream of going to school and learning like other children, but even this simple dream has become so difficult for us. As for my youngest daughter, she doesn’t need toys or anything luxurious… she needs milk and diapers. 🥺
At the same time, my father has cancer and urgently needs treatment, while my husband is unemployed and unable to find work to support our family.
Sometimes I don’t know where to begin or how to put the weight of our lives into words. All I know is that I am a mother trying to protect her children and give them a life they deserve, even when I can barely provide their most basic needs.
We are not asking for a luxurious life… We are asking for a chance to survive, for my children to learn, for my little girl to have her milk, and for my father to receive his treatment.
If you can stand beside us during these hardest days, please don’t leave us alone. And if you cannot help financially, simply sharing our story may help our voice reach someone who can.
From a mother trying to stay strong for her children… thank you to every heart that hears us. 🤍🇵🇸
