Help Rewaa's family survive the hell of war in Gaza

I am Rewaa Amir, a mother of five children from Gaza. A year ago, our lives were filled with love, ambition, and dreams, but in one moment, everything have turned into a nightmare.

My eldest son, Kinan, who is 13 years old,has been dreaming of becoming a doctor. He was an excellent in his studies, love listening to music, and playing football with his friends. He would always talk about how he would save lives when he grew up. Taim, who is 10 years old, loves cats and hopes to become a veterinarian one a day. He used to take care of the cats joyfully in the neighborhood. Akram, who is seven years old, has been dreaming of becoming an engineer to help rebuild his city. Amir, who is five, loves drawing and fills our house walls with his innocent drawings. And then there’s Salma, my only daughter, who is three years old. She brings joy into our lives with her childish smile.

But on 7th October, everything has been changed. We woke up to the terrifying sounds of explosions. The bombing was so intense that the sky turned to fire. My children’s screams mixed with the sound of the blasts. I didn’t know what to do other than hold them tight and pray to God to protect us.

We were forced to flee our home, which had been our only refuge, and became refugees in our own country. Kinan is still kept asking me, "Mama, will we go back home? Is my school still there?" and I couldn’t give him an answer. The dream of Kinan to be a doctor was fading away. As for Taim, who used to play with the cats every day, he cried when he realized we couldn’t take anything with us, not even his toys or his beloved cat,dearest friend.

Since then, our life has became a battle for survival. My husband Mutez Akrem lost his job because the factory he worked at was destroyed, and we no longer have any income. We’ve had to move multiple times, and each time we leave behind a piece of our lives. Now, we are living in a simple rented house in an area we don’t even know if it’s safe or not. Our debts are piling up, and we cannot afford food, water, or medicine for our children.

The war has made life unbearable here. Prices have skyrocketed; what we used to buy for one dollar, now costs twenty. I cannot bear to see my children hungry, and I cannot face the thought of losing this simple home too because we cannot pay the rent.

Every night, my children ask me, "Mama, will we go back to our house? Will we see our friends again?" and all I have for them are tears.

This is why I am writing to you now. We need help to survive. We need support to secure food, water, and medicine for my children. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in our lives. We are not asking for much, just a chance to survive, a chance for my children to keep dreaming.

Since the first day of the war, my family has been displaced several times , and We lost our life and our warm home in north of Gaza for too long time .

My family is experiencing their third displacement, living in difficult conditions without proper bedding or warm clothes.

My family are going through an extremely tough time, and I've lost hope in everything. I turn to this platform seeking help to save what can be saved. My family consists of 7 people.

I have nothing in this world except my family, and I work hard to take care of them. The danger is approaching, and I kindly ask for your help to secure my family living expenses during this long war.

It's challenging for us to provide the amount requested for live in normal human life as the Gaza city became the most expensive city in the world (as international news agencies reported).

We need about 2000$ to 2500$ per month to live normal human life, which includes rent, food, drinking water, medicine, shelter, hygiene, protection, etc).

We also debit for amount of 10000$ that we lost our jobs and work from the beginning of this war and also lost our savings accordingly.

In total we need 55,000 to secure our family life for upcoming months with the minimum for normal human

needs.

Please, help us in this difficult time.

Hand in hand, I believe we will be able to achieve this goal Insha'Allah (God willing).

Free Palestine.
