Some of the families this project currently supports

Meet Lina Lyad

Lina is a mother of two young children, Julia and Mohammed. Before the war, she and her husband were both architects, building a life filled with dreams and stability. In an instant, everything was taken away: their jobs, their livelihood, and their home.

Since then, Lina and her children have lived a life of displacement, moving from one unsafe place to another in search of shelter. For months, they endured harsh conditions in cold tents with little protection or comfort. Now, they are trapped in a rodent-infested space, struggling every day to survive.

Her children go to sleep hungry and frightened, while Lina bears the unbearable weight of watching them suffer. The family urgently needs help — not charity, but a lifeline. Every donation makes a real difference in protecting this family from hunger, disease, and despair, and in giving them the chance to live in safety like children everywhere deserve.

Meet Najwa

Najwa is a single mother of two boys, Ahmed (13) and Abdullah (11), while also caring for her elderly parents. Her husband was killed, and the family has lost everything — even their beloved cats.

Despite the devastation around them, Ahmed dreams of becoming a surgeon and Abdullah hopes to one day play professional football.

This family of five is enduring unimaginable hardship. There is no safe place to shelter, and they have narrowly escaped airstrikes twice. Both boys witnessed a neighbour’s tent bombed in the early morning hours and now live with severe trauma after years of violence, displacement, illness, hunger, and loss.

Your donation gives Najwa a chance to recover her health and helps her children survive, heal, and hold on to their dreams.

Meet Nour & her sisters

Nour is 17 years old the eldest of six sisters — Mariam, Hala, Dania, Ameera, and Maritta. She lived with her parents and sisters in their family home before it was destroyed during the war, leaving the family with nothing to return to.

Nour’s family have since been displaced to Khan Younis where they are currently living in a tent under very difficult conditions.

Despite the disruption to her education and the instability of daily life, Nour hopes to finish school and pursue her dream of studying medicine. As the eldest child she carries significant responsibility while continuing to look toward a future shaped by learning and care for others.

The family needs support to meet their basic needs and to preserve the possibility of rebuilding their lives. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference. If you have capacity, please visit Nour’s campaign to donate.
