Children Youtube sensation Ms Rachel launches campaign to help children in Gaza

With her chirpy yet calming voice, Ms Rachel has become a household staple, keeping toddlers entertained with upbeat nursery rhymes, dances and language lessons.

Ms Rachel, whose full name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, announced a campaign to raise money for children in several war-torn parts of the world, including Gaza, offering to make Cameos.

Ms Rachel clarified that the proceeds from her videos would be directed to Save the Children’s emergency fund, to aid children impacted by conflict.

Notably, she highlighted Gaza, alongside regions like Sudan, Ukraine, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as areas in dire need of support.

“Children should never experience the horrors of war. These are grave violations of their human rights. Children should be protected," she said.

Within hours, she’d raised $ 50,000 from 500 requests for personal videos.

Just a few days later, Ms Rachel posted a video in tears after facing severe backlash, being asked why she wasn’t also trying to help victims of Hamas’ deadly October 7 attack on Israel. 

“I care deeply for all children. Palestinian children, Israeli children, children in the US – Muslim, Jewish, Christian children - all children, in every country. Not one is excluded," she said in her TikTok caption.

TikTok users quickly came to her defence with comments like "I don’t even have a baby and I love u ms Rachel," " Nah which human has the audacity to bully this woman!?! Stay strong Ms Rachel," and "We love you Ms Rachel you are doing the right thing and it’s wonderful I’m proud to have my baby look up to you!"
