Hi, my name is Aly Wick and I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA! The Quenita family are a wonderful family of 7 whom I've gotten to know so well over the last 2 years, and who have suffered many losses, experienced disease, malnutrition and hardships since the beginning of the attacks on Gaza in October 2023.
- Lama - 18
- Lian - 16
- Lin - 14
- Rahaf - 12
- Abdullah - 10
- Ghazal - 7
She and her children are currently are facing unimaginable challenges. At the beginning of the war, Ehsan lost her husband, who was martyred, and tragically, almost his entire family followed. They lived in northern Gaza, but their home was completely destroyed, forcing them to flee to the south.
Now, they find themselves homeless, grappling with the weight of loss and despair.
Ehsan is a strong woman, yet she is filled with anguish as she watches her children suffer. She has taken the courageous step of creating a donation link, seeking help to escape the relentless cycle of death and injustice. Despite her desperation, Ehsan feels ashamed to ask for help, but she knows she must for the sake of her children.
Before the war, Ehsan led a stable and dignified life, but the destruction around her has stripped away her ability to earn an income and provide for her family. She hopes that even small contributions can make a difference, as her children desperately need support.
Her daughters, Lama and Lian, were thriving in high school before everything changed. They now face not only the loss of their father, five uncles, many cousins, and their grandmother, but also the looming threat of losing their futures. Ehsan’s children have lost all their relatives and are enveloped in grief. They have no family left but their mother.
Please consider helping Ehsan and her children during this dire time. Your support, no matter how small, can bring hope to a family in need and help them find a path toward safety and stability. Thank you for your compassion.
From my dear friend Ehsan:
"I am a mother with 6 children. My husband was martyred at the beginning of this war and my husband’s family were all martyred. I had a house in northern Gaza and it was completely destroyed. Because of that, I was displaced to the south. I am homeless now, and the situation is tragic.
I do not want to live the bitterness of loss again and see my children die in front of me, so I created a donation link until we can escape. From death and injustice to a safe place, I am now talking to you and I am crying and ashamed of myself. It is difficult to ask for help.
I am in need of money because before the war my financial situation was stable and we lived a decent life and we have dignity, but the destruction and violence has made it so we cannot earn any income at all.
I hope you can help me even if with a small amount because my children are in need and no one is donating to my children. My daughters Lama and Lian need to study and were in high school.
My children lost all their relatives , and grief constantly, for their father, five uncles, many cousins and their grandmother, lost to the war. They have no family left besides their mother."
Thank you for your support of Ehsan and her family!
Her children can survive another day because of you.
