Amidst the horror of an ongoing genocide, every act of compassion makes a difference. For families fighting to survive in Gaza, consistent support isn't just helpful—it's essential. This is where you — mothers, fathers, carers, families, and humans with a heart — can step in as lifelines through regular donations that these families can count on.

Who are the families we support?
These three families have become part of my life through genuine human connections that developed naturally over the past two years. I'm Enora, the founder of Pals for Palestine, and I've had the privilege of getting to know them not just as recipients of aid, but as real people with whom I've shared meaningful conversations and experiences.
Noor's story came to me through her brother Bahaa, a medical engineering student in Germany. What struck me most about Noor was her incredible dedication to caring for her nieces and nephews—her niece Soso is the same age as my own son, which created an immediate personal connection. Seeing her navigate such challenging circumstances while maintaining her role as a caretaker moved me deeply.
Reem reached out to me directly through Instagram in early 2024, having heard that Palsfor helped Palestinian families share their stories with the world. She was seeking support to create a fundraising campaign, and from our very first conversation, I was impressed by her determination and resilience. Her husband Mohamed and I have maintained regular contact ever since, and they've become trusted friends.
Rania entered our circle through her connection to Reem and Mohamed's extended family. When her eldest son fell seriously ill last summer, I witnessed her fierce determination as she worked tirelessly to secure the support her family desperately needed. Her strength in the face of overwhelming challenges has been truly inspiring.
The truth is, there was no formal selection process. Among the hundreds of families facing similar hardships, these three simply became the ones with whom I developed the deepest personal bonds. They could easily be my neighbors or friends in any other circumstance. Over nearly two years of regular communication, we've shared not just their struggles, but also moments of hope, laughter, and genuine human connection. They are real people with real stories, and I wish everyone could see them the way I do.

Yes, right now it is still possible (although very difficult) to find food and daily essentials in Gaza. The goods come into the enclave through smugglers routes and are then sold at an extortionate price to families who are in absolute desperate need of them. A weekly supply of canned goods, baby formula and nappies for a family with 2 children is estimated at around £600/week.
We are currently looking for people who can donate regularly (ideally weekly) to support these families. The regularity is important as it enables them to plan and to have a level of security in what is now the most dangerous and violent place on Earth.
The full amount of your donations are shared between our 3 families according to needs and sent to them every week. I am running this initiative voluntarily, no money you send will be used to pay or compensate me in any way. I pay for the website hosting and communications costs out of my own pocket.
