Support Palestinian Families

Dina and her husband Farhan are a young married couple, and loving parents to their daughter Julia, age 4, and their son Ahmed, age 2. Ahmed has spent more than half of his life under the conditions of displacement and bombardment. He was 18 months old when he began to understand what the sound of artillery shelling was, and has since been terrified whenever he hears it. Dina and Farhan dream of a life where they can provide for everything their children need, and can begin a long process of healing from the traumas they have been forced to endure.

In the meantime, this family needs your help to survive. The costs of basic necessities like food, medicine, and blankets are exorbitant in Gaza right now, and there are no opportunities for income besides donations.

Our goal is to raise $2000/month in recurring donations, so that Dina and Farhan can be released from the suspense of wondering each week whether or not they will be able to feed their children. Giving them an income they can count is one of the only ways we can reduce the traumatic levels of uncertainty and stress from beyond the apartheid wall.

Before the war, Esraa and her husband Iyad ran a small poultry farm. They worked hard to secure a future for their two young sons, but their farm was targeted in an airstrike. They have been displaced numerous times.

Our goal is to raise $2,000/month on recurring donation for survival needs like food, medicine, and blankets for the winter.

Haneen and her husband have two children, Joanna, age 6, and Yahya, age 3. Joanna was so excited to be a kindergartener last fall, and would be entering the first grade now if it were possible.

Haneen's home was damaged in a bombardment, and her family has been displaced several times. Without adequate shelter, clean water, and food, both young children are highly vulnerable to infectious disease which runs rampant due to crowded conditions and the targeted destruction of sanitation services.

We calculate that it takes at least $500/week to survive in Gaza. Our goal is to raise $2000 in monthly recurring donations.

We’re calculated that the cost of living in Gaza is at least $500/week. We’ve set up this campaign with a goal of $24,000 - we are aiming for $2,000/month in recurring donations. That way, Mahmoud can count on something coming in and not have to fundraise online 24/7. Mahmoud has 3 sisters who he also helps support.

With your help, Narrow Bridge to Deir al Balah can reach this goal and continue the work we’ve set out to do in this campaign.

Muhammad is a kind, caring person living in Gaza trying to survive and take care of his two aging parents through unimaginable circumstances. He had a successful business before October 2023; that has all been lost. Now, he is doing all he can to care for his parents and his community. It's getting cold in Gaza, and Muhammad and his parents need urgent funds for warm clothes so that they can survive the winter. Additionally, his mother needs medication to manage chronic illness.

We have a goal of raising $2000/month in recurring donations for Mohammed and his family.

Nadia and Rayhan were engaged before Oct 7, and initially planned to wait until the bombardment ended to have their dream wedding. However, as the months dragged on, they decide not to let he occupation determine their timeline. They were wed in a small ceremony in a tent. Since then, Nadia became pregnant and - against all odds - has carried the pregnancy into its third term! Being over 6 months pregnant with extremely limited medical options for birth is extremely vulnerable, even precarious.

Nadia has been able to find some prenatal treatment, including supplements to prevent anemia and other complications. This costs about $300-$400/week. In addition, she and Rayhan both need to eat and will soon need to start gathering resources like diapers and baby clothes as well as baby formula because Nadia will likely not have enough caloric intake to breastfeed. Surgery or other medical interventions that may be required at birth also present significant expenses.

We are setting a goal of $500/week or $2,000/month in recurring donations to support Nadia through the next months of pregnancy.

Hello, I am Nahil from Gaza City. I live in the city of Deir al-Balah. I tell you my story with passion and love. I hie you read it well. I studied the English language at the university and graduated. I used to give English lessons to school students, and I got married two months before October 7. I am in dire need of your help in getting me and my husband out of Gaza City because of the dangerous conditions and the genocide against us that we are being exposed to in Gaza City, and to find a safe place. My husband lost his job because of the war. We was working as a private driver, and because of the war and the interruption of gas and diesel, he hs not been able to find another job at this time.

I am reaching out to you with humility and a deep sense of gratitude, hopeful that your compassion will serve as a beacon of light in our darkest hours. Please consider making a donation to my family. 

With sincere appreciation, Nahil

Shada Mohammed is a young woman and recent University graduate surviving harsh conditions in Central Gaza.

Her home was targeted in an airstrike, and, although she has been displaced multiple times, she has managed to keep some of her art supplies. She creates art from inspirational poems and quotes to keep herself motivated and hope for her future beyond this genocidal war. (A collection of Shada's art is available as a separate fundraiser from Narrow Bridge Candles!)

In addition to making art, Shada strives to continue her education. When she is not fundraising for basic needs, she studies Arabic, religion and mathematics in her tent. Before the war, she volunteered her time to work with children in the community.

Although she has so much promise, Shada is currently facing horrific conditions in the displacement camps. Food and medicine are expensive and scarce. Injuries, infections, and illnesses run rampant. She has already survived and recovered from a dangerous fever. Having enough money to eat regularly and access clean drinking water is essential.

Our goal is to raise $2000/month in recurring donations for Shada.
