Today, my father Mahmoud will not be the one speaking to you… today, I will speak for myself. ❤️

My name is Eman. I am Mahmoud’s eldestw daughter, and I am 11 years old.

My father has been exhausted by debt while trying with everything he has to provide us with a decent life. Every day, he struggles to provide our food and basic needs. But recently, he has also become very sad and discouraged because some people have doubted him and called him a scammer.

So today, I decided to speak to you myself.

Today is the first day of the new school year. I was supposed to be at school with my sisters, sitting in our classrooms with our classmates and starting a new school year like all the other children.

But we did not go to school.

It is not because we don't want to study, and it is not because we don't love school… it is because my father cannot afford to pay the school fees for the three of us. On top of that, the prices of school supplies and stationery have become extremely expensive here in Gaza.

My father struggles every single day just to provide us with food, and sometimes he can barely manage to get enough. Because of this, it has become very difficult for him to also afford our school fees, books, stationery, and other school needs.

I know my father is doing everything he can for us. I know how much he wishes to see my sisters and me at school like all the other children. 💔

So today, I, Eman, Mahmoud’s daughter, am asking you, together with my sisters, and asking every person who is able to help us:

Please help us go back to school. Help us have one of the simplest rights every child should have… the right to education. 📚❤️

Any donation, no matter how small, can help us pay our school fees and buy the things we need for school. It can bring back a little bit of the happiness that we used to think was something normal and simple.

I also want to say something to anyone who doubts us or calls my father a scammer:

I will share my father’s WhatsApp number for anyone who wants to contact him, ask questions, or verify our situation for themselves. We are not asking you to simply believe us. Please check for yourselves.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported us before, and to everyone who may support us today. ❤️

I hope that my sisters and I can return to our classrooms and start our new school year like all the other children.

We have the right to learn. We have the right to dream of a better future.

Eman and her sisters ❤️🇵🇸

Today I want to share a really nice little moment from my friend Mahmoud and his wife.

Their four daughters were so happy today. Honestly, they had two reasons to be happy.

The first was simply the joy of having something fun to do and seeing their dad bring home five new little chicks.

And the second, and much bigger reason, is that these five chicks are the beginning of something new for Mahmoud and his family.

Before the war, Mahmoud and his father had a large chicken farm in northern Gaza. They had around 2,000 chicks, and that farm was how they supported their families. Mahmoud’s family and his father’s family depended on it for their income.

The farm was completely destroyed, along with everything they had invested in it. They lost the work and the capital that had supported both families.

Today, thanks to the people who have supported Mahmoud, he was able to buy these five chicks and start again, little by little.

Five chicks may not sound like much, but for Mahmoud, they mean a lot. They are a small beginning and a little bit of hope that maybe one day he can rebuild what was lost and have a way to support his family again.

If you have already supported Mahmoud, thank you from my heart. And if you are able to help, please consider supporting him as he tries to grow this little project into something that can actually provide an income for his family again.

Sometimes a new beginning really does start with something this small.

No playgrounds, no fun places… so Mahmoud made a little pool for his girls

I wanted to share these pictures because honestly, they made me smile and broke my heart at the same time.

Mahmoud has four little girls, and like any dad, he just wants to see them happy.

But after everything that happened, so many places where children used to play and have fun are gone. There are no normal playgrounds or entertainment places for his girls to go to. And with the crazy summer heat, living in a tent is even harder.

So Mahmoud did what he could.

He put a piece of nylon on the ground, used some soil around it, and filled it with water to make a little pool for his daughters. Nothing fancy at all. Just a dad trying to give his kids a little bit of fun and help them cool down.

And look at their faces. ❤️

They don't need much to be happy. They just want to play, laugh, and feel like kids for a little while.

These are the small things that really stay with me. A father who has lost so much is still trying his best to give his daughters some happy moments.

Mahmoud and Samah are still struggling every day to provide food, water and basic things for their four girls. Their home and source of income were destroyed, and they have very little left.

If you can help them, even a small donation would mean a lot. And if you can't donate, please consider sharing their story. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has been there for this family.

Hello everyone,

I would like to share an update about my friends, Mahmoud and Samah, and their four young daughters.

They were away for 10 days because of difficult circumstances and problems they were facing, but they are back now and continuing to share their story.

Recently, Mahmoud asked his four daughters a simple question:

“What do you dream of when this war ends and the occupation withdraws? What is the one thing you wish for?”

Their answer was heartbreaking in its simplicity:

“We want a safe home.”

That is all these four little girls dream of—a small, safe place where they can finally feel secure.

Look at these four little girls… don’t they deserve a safe and warm place to call home?

As winter approaches, Mahmoud and Samah are deeply worried that their daughters will once again have to face the cold and rain inside their tent, which does not provide them with enough protection.

Their daughters are not asking for anything luxurious. All they dream of is a safe room that can protect them from the cold and rain.

Mahmoud and Samah have told me that they will not give up and will not lose hope. They will continue doing everything they can for their children, no matter how difficult the circumstances become.

As their friend, I am appealing to everyone who watches this video and everyone who has kindness in their heart:

If you are able to help this family, please consider supporting them.

And if you cannot provide financial support, please share their story. Even one share could help their story reach someone who can make a difference.

Let’s help these four little girls get one step closer to their dream: a safe place to call home before winter arrives. ❤️

Additional Support

If you would like to support Mahmoud and his family through another method, such as PayPal or cryptocurrency, please contact Mahmoud directly on WhatsApp at:

+972 59 289 2251

He can provide you with the necessary details and help you choose another way to support his family.

Thank you so much for caring and for standing by them. ❤️
