My name is Maria. I am a survivor of the genocide in Gaza, and this is my little daughter, Ruh. ❤️🩹
We survived things no human being should ever have to experience. I lived through war, fear, hunger, loss, and unimaginable pain. I carried my baby through this nightmare, gave birth under terrible circumstances, and fought to keep her alive. Today, Ruh is here in my arms, and she is my greatest reason to keep going.
But surviving the genocide does not mean our suffering is over.
We are still living in a fragile tent in Gaza, struggling every single day to find food, clean water, milk, diapers, and the most basic necessities for my daughter. As winter approaches, I am terrified of the rain, the flooding, the cold, and what another night in this tent could mean for my little girl.
I am a mother who dreams of giving her child a safe place to sleep, warm clothes to wear, enough food to eat, and a childhood free from fear. I never imagined that I would have to ask strangers around the world for help just to meet my baby’s basic needs.
I don’t want to be known only as a victim. I want to survive, rebuild my life, and give Ruh the future she deserves. But right now, we cannot do this alone.
If you have ever wondered how you can help a family in Gaza, please think of me and my little daughter. A donation, a repost, or even sharing our story with one more person could help us get through another difficult day.
Please don’t let our voices disappear. We survived the unimaginable, and we are still fighting to live.
From my heart, I am asking you: please help me protect my little girl. She deserves warmth, safety, and a chance to grow up in peace. So does every child. 🕊️
