Hi, my name is Ashleigh and I'm an advocate for refugees and those in the war zone of Gaza. Ehsan is a dear friend of mine with 6 children and needs your help.

  • 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.

Hello from Ehsan!

"Thank you to everyone who continues to support my little family. The kids are growing every day. We continue to stay in our apartment because of you and your generosity. Abdallah was able to get treatment because of you.

We are a family without a provider. We lost everything in this war. We just want to live with dignity. We have had enough of the fear. Recently, Ghazal returned to school and the occupation attacked it. She was trapped inside and the Red Cross couldn't get to her. She finally escaped and I found her crying in the streets, in shock.

We go to sleep terrified of the sound of aircrafts flying over our heads. We want to eat healthy food and drink clean water. We are afraid to go outside because there is bombing constantly everywhere. Please don't forget us and know you are in our prayers."

7/21/26 - Warning for a graphic image below

Abdallah is suffering from a virus which has caused him to become covered in rashes.

He has a fever and cannot walk. Please donate what you can to help them pay their $500 monthly rent in a few days and get him the medical treatment he needs to recover.

Simple and preventable diseases in other countries become deadly quickly in Gaza without medication and safe conditions.

Thank you!

6/13/26 - A quick update since it's been a while! Ehsan had her surgery and is recovering well. She feels much better these days!

The family is still living in their apartment, but unfortunately, the individual who covered their monthly rent is unable to continue to cover this amount, so we need $500 a month for rent starting next on July 1st.

The other day, Ghazal and her brother Abdallah made pizza in a pizza oven by burning paper and cardboard they scavenged. They had fun, although it was very difficult and hot!

Please remember this family and keep them in your thoughts, prayers and actions!

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Ehsan and the children. We were able to pay their rent again this month so they can stay in the apartment for another 30 days. New photos and videos are posted on IG @ehsan_northgaza  

"Hello from little Ghazal! 

She dreams of returning home, but her home is now only rocks and rubble. Still, she finds joy. She plays with her siblings, even though there is no safe place left to play.

In northern Gaza, raw sewage runs through the streets. Pollution fills the air. Bombed-out buildings surround the children like silent tombstones. There is no school, no safety, no normal childhood — only survival.

Ghazal, and so many children like her, have done nothing wrong.

What crime did they commit to deserve this?

They deserve clean water.
They deserve safety.
They deserve a future.

They deserve to be children.

Please help us preserve what remains of their childhood. Your donation is a lifeline."

Here is the latest update from Ehsan and her family, who are now staying with extended family a little further south. Ghazal is very sick and needs treatment - if you can, please consider donating to help. You can see the videos of their evacuation from the north on Ehsan's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ehsan_northgaza/

 

Oct 6th

Unfortunately, we are not well. Ghazal inhaled a lot of toxic gas in northern Gaza. She has a blood infection.

Yes, there is. [a clinic] But we buy treatment with money. The expenses are high here. I can't provide for their needs. She has been suffering from fever for a week. But it comes back after a few days.

Oct 9

We will return to the north, but everything is no longer there. Everything has been bombed.
