Before the war
🌿 Meet the Alkfarna Family
The Alkfarna family, from Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, built their lives on hope, hard work, and deep family ties. Before the war, they lived in a beautiful home and ran a small grocery store — a livelihood sustained by every family member’s effort and dedication.Jomaa, the father, managed the store with pride, while his wife, Insherah, a skilled seamstress, balanced her craft with the heartwork of raising their children.Their eldest daughter, Eman, a mother of four, worked as a secretary and cared tirelessly for her family.
Enas, also a devoted mother, raised five children and built a loving home alongside her husband.Amal, with degrees in English Literature and Accounting, dedicated herself to charity work. Even now, under siege and danger, she continues serving orphaned children in her community.Abedallah was studying for his masters in Linguistics when the war interrupted his education.Ekhlas, widowed during the war after her husband was denied leukemia treatment, is now raising their three children alone.Maryam, newly married and a new mother, gave birth to her daughter Amal during this brutal war.Mohammed, a Business Administration student, dreamed of starting a software company — dreams now threatened but not forgotten.The Alkfarna family has lost their home, their livelihood, and beloved family members. Yet their spirit remains — one of resilience, faith, and the hope of rebuilding together.

How your contributions help
The Alkfarna family, from Beit Hanoun, Gaza, is facing unimaginable challenges. With no jobs available and unstable internet,
their ability to support themselves is severely limited. Currently living through forced starvation, where every item is now triple the normal cost. Every day is a fight for survival, with even basic tasks becoming costly and
time-consuming, or deadly.Without electricity, the family must travel to charge their phones and pay for the service. Transportation is scarce (and
dangerous) , they must travel long distances to refill water containers—each of these essential tasks comes at a price. Food
and medicine are expensive, with basic items like baby formula costing 75 USD plus 75$ commission.Beyond the physical and financial strain, the family lives under constant threat. Bombs, tank shelling, and drones are an ever-
present danger, and some areas are targeted by snipers and machine guns, making daily survival even more difficult, or too dangerous to leave.The Alkfarna family’s monthly costs are:$700 for rent
$700 for food
50% for commissions (when money is taken out, half of it is taken off the top)
$300 for warm clothing, blankets, and essentials
Totaling $2,000 per month—an amount they can’t cover without help.Your donation, whether $1 or $20, can provide them with much-needed relief. Every contribution makes a difference. Please
consider donating to support the Alkfarna family and give them a chance to survive and rebuild.
