Help me save my dream after Gaza War
Donation protected
We are Dr Qossay and Dr Lama,
and we are doctors from Gaza.
In the wake of the current war, my family comprising my parents, me, and my sister have found ourselves trapped in the heart of Gaza. Miraculously surviving multiple bombings and fleeing, we narrowly escaped death, but our home and neighborhood were obliterated and destroyed, leaving us homeless and in a state of profound uncertainty.
Our mother, Amal, is suffering from stage 4 osteoarthritis and is in urgent need of knee surgery. She can not take another replacement and living in a tent. However, the conflict has disrupted access to medical care, leaving her in constant pain and unable to receive the treatment she desperately requires.
Similarly me, Qossay, a recent medical graduate, dreams of specializing in cardiology in the UK to serve our community better. My PLAB 2 exam is scheduled for May, but the ongoing turmoil threatens his ability to pursue his dreams. Without the means to leave Gaza, he risks missing this crucial opportunity to further his education and make a difference in the lives of others.
I am in urgent need for money to survive living in UK until I find a place for my speciality.
My sister, a final year dental student, also faces challenges. The destruction of her university has left her education in limbo, with years of hard work hanging in the balance.
Access to essential resources like medicine remains scarce, adding to the uncertainty of her future.
Our once flourishing family, with members holding dreams and ambitions, now finds itself struggling to survive in a volatile and dangerous environment. Basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter are luxuries, and the trauma of displacement weighs heavily on us all.
The destruction wrought by the conflict has left us with nothing. Our family home, a 250,000$ building with five floors with multiple apartments, was reduced to rubble, along with our hopes, memories, and aspirations. Rebuilding each apartment carries a significant cost, not to mention the loss of our car, buried under the rubble.
My deepest desire is to help my family escape this deadly cycle of violence and rebuild their lives. Any contribution you can make will go directly towards meeting their urgent needs, providing them with a chance to regain stability and continue their education and professional pursuits.
We are requiring 35000 for the 4 of us to pay at Hala Company in Egypt and leave Gaza, 5000$ each.
And the other money is for living costs and helping me and my sister to complete our education.
It is a hell of too much money, but it is our desperate life and we need them to leave.
And continue our education.
Together, we can help restore hope and dignity to my family and countless others affected by the devastation in Gaza. Thank you for your generosity and support.
* Me Qossay I managed to assign for leaving, but now I am trying to get my family out at the same time I am struggling to study for my exam and thinking how can I afford traveling to UK for my exam.
