The Once Upon A Time actress shared the story of 4-year-old Roz Asher, who is currently being held by Hamas terrorists.

Ginnifer Goodwin, an actress known for her many roles including that of Mary Margaret/Snow White in the Once Upon A Time series, posted on Instagram in support of the Israeli children held hostage by Hamas. 

In the post, Goodwin recorded herself with a tablet displaying images.   

“Hi, my name is Ginnifer Goodwin and this is me at 4 years old,” she said while holding up the photo.

“This is Roz Asher, she is also 4 years old but she has been held captive by Hamas for over a month,” Goodwin continued while changing the photo to Roz. “So today, I will be her voice.

“Hi, my name is Roz. I am the oldest sister in my family. I like to play with my little sister Aviv, we play with our kitchen toys and make mom and dad ice cream. I also love to sing and dance all day long. My favorite song is Unicorn by Noa Kirel; she is the best. I wait every day to get back home to my father and my friends. I want to go home.

“On behalf of Roz, I am asking you to set her free now. Bring her and all of the hostages home now.   

Goodwin captioned her post with “On October 7th, the day of the terror attack on Israel, more than 30 children were kidnapped to Gaza, and have been held captive by Hamas for 6 weeks. On behalf of the kidnapped children, I ask you: Set them free. Bring all of the hostages back home NOW. #kidnappedchildrensvoice #bringthemhomenow #freeourkids #bringthemhome #bringthemback”
