Under the tent of hope
On a difficult journey, my family crossed seven stages of displacement, leaving behind a house that was nothing but rubble, and stories telling of pain and loss. A father is suffering under the burden of responsibility, a pregnant mother is waiting for her newborn in a tent, and grandfathers and grandmothers have no choice but to pray for their son and his family turns into a temporary home.
Hope was a name that carried within it a cry for survival, and a pulse of life that refused to be extinguished. In the midst of the harsh events, the family's home was demolished, leaving them with only a tent as a shelter. They faced difficult days, where feelings of fear and anxiety trumped feelings of safety ..
But, failure was not hope. Under these circumstances, family ties strengthened, and the strength of determination to face challenges increased. The father faced the hardship of basic family insurance, while the mother supported him with patience and new determination, waiting for her baby, who would become a symbol of hope.
A family's baby was born in a simple tent, becoming a symbol of continuing life. The family's belief in the meaning of hope will illuminate their path towards a better future. They made the discovery seven times, but they did not give up. Each time, their tent became a symbol of resilience and evil will ..
Any donation or sharing of the post
You may be a reason to save the life of my family, which suffers from the scourge of lack of nutrition, health, and all the necessities of life 🍉🍉
Thank you to everyone who helped the Ashour family reach €40,000.
As @dlxxv-vetted-donations pointed out, the longer it takes to raise €50k, the longer this family is forced to spend the funds on their survival instead of their evacuation. We don't know when the Rafah crossing will open again, but it is imperative that they have the funds ready for when it does.
Let me reintroduce you to this young family:
The Ashour family consists of Amal, her husband and baby Maryam. You can follow Amal at @amalashuor
Before the genocide began, Amal was studying for a Masters degree in French, and Maryam was only 9 months old.
Previously, their goal was to raise €30,000 to evacuate Gaza, however they have since been violently displaced several times. Costs in Gaza have been skyrocketing - transportation, tents, rent as well as food, baby formula, diapers and hygiene products. This has forced Amal to use the funds that were meant for their evacuation.
As of last month, bombings by the occuptation forced them to flee from Rafah to Khan Younis, then to Deir al-Balah, and then west from there. Please read Amal's post explaining this situation as well as the breakdown of expenses, and why they raised their goal to €50,000.
The money they raise from this fundraiser is all they have to survive. Just think about that. Maryam is facing severe malnutrition not only due to aid being blocked from entering Gaza - with more than 1 million people forced to starve - but also because what is available is extremely expensive.
Now winter is coming, which not only brings freezing temperatures but heavy rain. There isn't sufficient shelter and illness is already rampant - and don't forget they are still under constant threat of bombings and displacement. Everyday the situation is changing faster than any of us can comprehend.
It has been about a month since I started focusing on their campaign, which had been stuck on €30,000 for some time. The fact that it took this long to raise €10k, and that there is still a long term goal of €50,000 to raise, is deeply concerning.
Please give what you can, even if it's as little as €5. These fundraisers survive thanks to several small contributions - a drop in the ocean goes a long way. For this family, your donation is a lifeline.

My name is Osama Almoghani, and I am a humanitarian activist working with "A Sign of Hope," a dedicated team committed to providing essential aid to displaced families in the South of the Gaza Strip. As a non-registered organization, our team operates with limited resources but with an unwavering commitment to supporting those in dire need amidst the ongoing crisis.
The Crisis: A Devastating Displacement
The recent escalation in violence has led to an unprecedented humanitarian disaster. Over 1.5 million people have been forced to flee their homes in the northern Gaza Strip, seeking safety in the south. This mass displacement has left countless individuals and families in precarious situations, having abandoned everything they owned in their desperate bid for safety.
The dire conditions are exacerated by the fact that approximately 390,000 of these displaced individuals have sought refuge in UNRWA schools. The remaining displaced persons, who were unable to secure shelter with relatives or rental accommodations, are left to live in makeshift tents scattered across various locations in the south of Gaza. These individuals face extreme hardships, with basic necessities like food, clothing, and medicine often out of reach.
Our Mission: On-the-Ground Support
At "A Sign of Hope," our mission is to provide immediate relief to those who are suffering the most. We are actively working on the ground to assist families residing in schools and those living in tents, despite the substantial risks involved. Our team is dedicated to making a tangible difference by addressing the most pressing needs of these displaced families.
To this end, we have begun assembling and distributing parcels containing essential supplies, including food, clothing, and medicine. These parcels are a lifeline for many, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the overwhelming challenges they face.
How You Can Help
Our ability to reach more displaced families and provide for their basic needs depends heavily on the support we receive. We are reaching out to individuals and organizations to help us extend our reach and amplify our impact. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of those who have lost everything and are struggling to survive.
We humbly ask for your assistance in any form—whether through financial contributions, supplies, or spreading the word about our mission. Every bit of support helps us deliver critical aid and sustain our efforts during this challenging time.
Conclusion
The situation in Gaza is dire, and the need for humanitarian aid has never been greater. With your help, "A Sign of Hope" can continue to provide essential support to those who are suffering and help them rebuild their lives amidst the ongoing crisis. Your generosity and solidarity can bring much-needed relief and hope to countless families in their time of need.
A child's smile is worth everything.
Thank you for considering our appeal. Together, we can make a difference and bring a glimmer of hope to those who need it most.
