Aya is a mother of three young children. Akram is 5, Manal is 4, and baby Sanad is only 4 months old. Her husband, Ismail, is doing everything he can to stay strong for them, even as fear follows their family every day.

Today, they are living in a partially destroyed house. Half of it is damaged, the walls are cracked, and the structure could collapse at any moment. Every night, Aya puts her children to sleep not knowing if the roof will still be standing by morning.

Before this unsafe house, they spent more than two years living in tents. They were displaced more than ten times, carrying their children, a few belongings, and the trauma of constant fear. Akram and Manal have never known stability or safety. Every “temporary” place became another forced escape.

Aya struggles daily to find food for her children. She waits for hours, searches endlessly, and faces prices she cannot afford. Many days she eats less so her children can eat. Other nights, they go to sleep without enough food because there is simply nothing left.

Their suffering became even harder after Sanad was born. He is a baby born during war, in desperate conditions. Diapers and baby formula are among the most expensive and hardest items to find. Aya often stands helpless as her baby cries when milk runs out, trapped between her child’s needs and impossible costs.

Akram and Manal ask questions their parents cannot answer:
  • “Why can’t we live like other children?”
  • “Why do we keep moving?”
  • “Why are we always scared?”

Aya has no answers—only the hope that someone, somewhere, will care enough to help them survive.

This campaign is not about comfort or rebuilding dreams. It is about survival: keeping three children safe, fed, and alive, and preventing a fragile home from becoming their final tragedy.

How the donations will be used:

  • Food and basic nutrition
  • Baby formula and diapers for Sanad
  • Emergency support to make the damaged house safer
  • Warm clothing and bedding
  • Clean water and hygiene supplies
  • Basic medical needs
  • Transportation and emergency expenses if evacuation becomes necessary

If you can donate or share, you can help protect Ismail and Aya’s family and give their children a chance to live through this.

Thank you for reading, and for helping keep this family safe.
