Help Niven to Evacuate Her Family From Gaza

From Certain Trauma to Clear Hope: Rebuilding Life Beyond the Rubble

Dear world,

My name is Zainab and I have created this fundraiser to help save my friend, Niven and her family's lives. Niven, her two sisters, three brothers and her parents have so far survived the terrifying and indiscriminate war in Gaza, but their lives, home and extended family have been demolished. They are isolated and in great peril.

This fundraiser has been set up from the UK on behalf of Niven & her family and I am committed to supporting her family find safety. 100% of the funds collected will be used to get Niven’s family to safety. Their exit route will be via the Rafah crossing where they will need to pay extensive amounts to be allowed to cross the border into Egypt.

With 8 members of the family, coordinating the crossing into Egypt will cost around £55,000. From there, the family will utilise the rest of the funds to find accommodation and eventually find refuge in a safe place. All funds will be sent to Niven and her family via western union or via our contact in Egypt. Any contribution will help and all contributions are so greatly appreciated.

Hello World,

I hesitated before starting this campaign, perhaps because my parents instilled in us a resilient spirit, making us accustomed to adapting to tough circumstances but I can’t anymore!. the fear of losing any of my eight family members has brought me to a point of desperation and constant anxiety! I can’t sleep all time thinking about them!

I am Niven, a 23-year-old from beloved Gaza, reaching out to you amid the echoes of war that have drained my strength and left me struggling for survival. After losing our home, built with memories brick by brick, my family's trajectory of resilience and success was abruptly halted by successive military campaigns. Despite our efforts to serve younger generations, the prospect of survival is now at risk during my eighth evacuation within Gaza.

our life, once filled with warm memories, has been replaced by the harsh reality of loss. Seeking refuge in different corners of Gaza, we've left behind the warmth of our family home, my father's 30 years of hard work, and the dreams we built together. The financial uncertainty surrounding the prospect of leaving Gaza adds to our challenges.

Before the war, my life was marked by resilience and positive, productive pursuits. I intended to continue this life, transforming the conflict's legacy. However, maintaining my family, my greatest support system, is crucial. I express my family's plea for help to leave Gaza soon, while I remain to assist my community and contribute to its rebuilding.

I share this plea on behalf of my family members, each facing their own struggles. Khetam, my kind mother, has battled viral infections. Mohammed, my supportive father, suffers from high blood pressure. My recently married brother and his wife are now homeless and jobless. Ahmed, training as a doctor, serves as an emergency doctor in Gaza who want to complete his study in surgical field to back and help Gaza’s people..

Hazar, my sister, excels in school and aims to study computer engineering at university. Abood, our youngest, adds sweetness to our family.

I feel a deep responsibility to secure the safety and future of my family. Your contribution, whether a donation, sharing the campaign, or any form of support, will be invaluable. The funds will be spent entirely on evacuating us to Egypt, where we plan to rebuild our well-being and continue serving the people of Gaza.

Every contribution, regardless of size, will significantly impact our journey to rebuild what war has taken away. Please consider supporting our cause for survival as we strive to maintain our lives.

Thank you for your generosity.

With gratitude,

Niven Loubbad and Family
