Heba has received very few donations recently and she's struggling to feed her sons, as well as the other children in her care. She's not asking for a huge amount of money or for anything fancy, just for enough to keep them going. Can you help? gofund.me/c3bf6fb78 #Gaza 🍉

Reaching out for aid in Gaza became our only necessity to protect our 2 kids. As a pharmacist & lawyer who lost everything, 3 years without income ruined our lives. Securing basic food, medicine, & essential care for our son & daughter is brutal. Vetted by Molly Shah ✅ tinyurl.com/4rycmjm5
