From Rubble to Success: Helping Osama Rebuild His Dream
Donation protected
Opportunities in life are rare, and when destruction strikes, they seem to vanish. But I believe that with strong willpower and support, we can create new opportunities even from the ashes. My name is Osama Basil, and I’m a web developer from Gaza. For the past 10 months, I’ve been living through the horrors of war. My office, where I poured my heart into my work, was demolished, and with it, my livelihood and dreams were shattered.
As each day passes, life in Gaza becomes increasingly harsh. Destruction and devastation have woven themselves into the fabric of our daily existence, leaving deep scars on our community. The loss of so many friends, colleagues, neighbors, and loved ones weighs heavily on our hearts.
I refuse to give up. Despite the destruction and displacement, I am determined to rebuild my life and career. The war took nearly everything from me—my job, my dreams of marriage, and the opportunity to pursue a master’s degree in programming and web design. Forced to flee to Rafah with my family, I’ve spent months living in a tent, struggling to survive without reliable access to electricity and the internet—both crucial for my work. The lack of stability has made it difficult to maintain even the simplest routines, yet I refuse to let these hardships define me. Each day is a test of resilience, pushing me to adapt and find new ways to continue my work, no matter the obstacles.
Campaign Goal:
I’ve set a goal of €15,000 to rebuild my office, restore my work, and continue my education. This funding will enable me to pursue a master's degree, which is crucial for advancing my career and contributing to a brighter future for Gaza. More importantly, it will allow me to support my family, who have been deeply affected by our current circumstances.
How Your Donations Will Help:
- Rebuilding the Office: Every dollar you donate will help rebuild my office, giving me the chance to start anew and continue my work.
- Securing Essential Energy and Internet Access: Due to severe electricity shortages and unreliable internet connectivity in Gaza, part of the funds will be used to install a solar energy system and secure stable internet access. These are both increasingly expensive due to the ongoing conflict but are absolutely essential for sustaining my career in web development.
- Restoring My Passion: Your contributions will enable me to invest in the tools and resources I need to revive my talent and passion for web development.
- Supporting My Livelihood and Family: Donations will also help meet my basic needs and provide support for my family, enabling us to stand on our feet again during these challenging times.
