Please share widely and support if you're able to. Wafa'a is trying her hardest to bring some semblance of normalcy to her children's lives in Gaza. https://t.co/0B6LCRP5Sj 571 views · 3 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

I’m going through incredibly difficult circumstances, and I’ve reached a point where I truly can’t face it all alone. 💔 I desperately need your support. Even a share could help my voice reach someone who can help. Please don’t leave me alone in this. 🙏🏻 https://t.co/XsDc5d54rW 1.5K views · 31 likes · 35 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

Still no donations for the school. 💔 My boys have already lost years of education because of the war. Please, even a small donation or repost can help us get them back to school. 🙏 https://t.co/XsDc5d4wCo 790 views · 0 likes · 3 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

I’m feeling so hopeless. 💔 No one has donated for my children’s school, and only one week is left. Please don’t let them lose school again. Even $5 or a share can help. 🙏 https://t.co/XsDc5d4wCo 1.7K views · 31 likes · 35 reposts · 15 replies Open on X →

We still haven’t received a single donation for my boys’ school fees. 💔 School is almost here, and I’m just asking for a little help to get them registered. Even a small donation or a simple repost means so much to us. 🙏🏻 https://t.co/XsDc5d4wCo 1.8K views · 27 likes · 29 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →
