Hi :)
I’m not here to ask for anything today.
I just want to tell you what you’ve already done.
Because the truth is, not everyone gets to see the impact of their kindness. Not everyone gets to know how much their support meant. But you should.
Because of you, a mother in Gaza had a safe space to give birth.
Because of you, a girl had food, water, and dignity when everything else was taken from her.
Because of you, a woman-led team was able to deliver aid when no one else could.
You didn’t just donate.
You gave someone their life back.
And in a place like Gaza, that’s no small thing.
We’ve been receiving rare footage and photos from our teams on the ground. It’s hard to get media out. Harder still to survive long enough to share it.
But these women, the ones delivering aid, the ones receiving it, they wanted you to see.
To know.
That what you did mattered.
These are just a few photos but behind each one are lives you helped carry through the worst. Every face is a reminder: your compassion reached them. Your mercy mattered.
We often say “by women, for women” and that’s exactly what you’ve supported.
A movement built on compassion.
Led by women.
Sustained by people like you.
So from all of us at Forgotten Women and from every woman you helped hold on just a little longer,
Thank you.
With so much love,
Hafsa
