Artists & Young People Finding Ways to Survive

We also support a young artist whose family lost their home in the bombings. She now lives in a temporary tent with her siblings and parents. She dreams of continuing her education in a safe place and building a future for herself and her younger brother.

To help her sustain that vision, community members have shared her artwork, organized small local exhibits, and contributed the proceeds directly to her family. Her recent messages describe the devastation that winter rains bring:

“The tent cannot protect us. Water comes through the roof and walls. My little sister and I cried. Winter is our greatest fear—we do not know how we will survive it.”

Stories like hers represent thousands of young people in Gaza whose dreams persist despite displacement, grief, and loss.
