My story I never expected to live, but it happened

The war came, missiles were all around us, fire and explosions were right in front of our eyes

We hugged each other from the sound of cannons and warplanes above us and from the horror of the events, we quickly fled and ran to a safer place in the middle of the night, fearing that missiles, bombs and shrapnel would hit us

My name is Ahmed Abu Saada. I am contacting you urgently because we are in dire need of your support for the safety of my wife Nour and my four young children, Batoul, Aseel, Bahaa and Leen. My children suffered greatly during the war. My daughters Batoul and Aseel would wake up screaming in fear. My children sleep with their hands over their ears so that they do not hear the sounds of explosions, missiles and shells. We were displaced from our neighborhood where our friends and beautiful memories were to a desert place whose geography we do not know and where there is no one, where there is no life, no water, and no shelter, leaving our beautiful home and the things we love to live in a canvas tent that does not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer.

We are living the most difficult moments as water trucks, food distribution points, bread queues, and drinking water queues are targeted.

When we were forced to move to tents, we could not bear the severe cold and heavy rains, and my children suffered from diseases and malnutrition. The war made me unable to provide a healthy environment for my family, nor was I able to provide them with healthy food or sweets, which made me feel extremely helpless to escape the grip of the relentless war.

Diseases surround us and our skin colors have changed due to diseases, lack of food and vitamins, and undrinkable water. Our house was completely destroyed, I lost my job, and we have nothing left. Now there are no jobs, no schools, no homes, and no safe area. Evacuation is not free and with limited resources in Gaza, we have little or no options left for fundraising.

We need your support. Our dream is not just to survive, but to find stability and rebuild our lives in a safe place free from the horrors of war. Your generous contribution can help us make this journey to safety and provide my family with a chance at a more hopeful future. Please contribute by donating to us and sharing our story. Your support can make a huge impact on our quest for a safer and more promising life.

Although there are no open borders for evacuation at the moment, I want to help raise the funds needed to evacuate once the borders are open.

Please find compassion in your hearts and help me and my family and children from perishing.

Thank you for your support. Every small donation makes a difference and brings me and my family closer to safety.

We have set our goal at $25,000 and here are the details.

In light of this, it is not possible to obtain a permit to exit Gaza except by paying money of approximately $5,000 for each adult and $2,500 for a child. This coordination is the coordination of a slow escape from death, as you cannot travel immediately after paying the amount, but rather you must wait for approximately twenty days. Huge numbers, far beyond our capacity...

Campaign objectives:

-Collecting the security coordination amount that will be paid to exit Gaza, to ensure the entire family’s safe exit, and since the number of family members for the campaign is 6 “me, my wife, and our four children,” this means that the amount due is $20,000.

- Providing a financial sum for temporary residence in Egypt, until we leave

- Providing the costs of visas and airline tickets to the countries where the family will seek refuge, according to the facilities and according to the opening of asylum and residency for Palestinians.
