Help: Noors Family Find Life and Hope Outside Gaza

Friends, my name is Michal Brooke Otts, and I’m based in Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. Noor Abo Samra is family. We aim to raise $20,000; for evacuation, hope, survival, and schooling. I hope you can take a moment to hear her story with an open heart and support #Note: the funds will be personally transferred to the Samras as the intended beneficiary as GFM does not host in these countries.

Hello everyone,

I'm Noor Abo Smara, a determined software engineering student. I'm reaching out for help during this challenging time my family is going through. We urgently need funds for evacuation, daily survival, and my future education.

Let me tell you a little about my family. My younger sister, Lian, is a fantastic artist and painter with a great sense of humor. She longs to return to a life of joy and education. My younger brother, Wessam, is passionate about media, photography and dreams of attending university one day.

I am also striving to take care of my mother Nahla, who is the heart and soul of our family. She suffers from chronic medical conditions and requires treatments for her heart and lungs that are only available outside our current location.

Two years ago, we lost my father, who was not only our financial provider but also the joy and strength of our family. His dream was for me to become a successful engineer, and I'm determined to fulfill it. Unfortunately, the war has taken everything from us – our home that we built from scratch, our belongings, and even my best friend. It has left me unsure about my future and shattered our sense of security and passion.

Despite these hardships, my family and I haven't lost hope. We believe that one day, I will fulfill my father's dream of becoming an engineer, and we will find a place of security to rebuild our lives and our homes.I'm asking for your support, whether through donations or any help, to care for my family, ensure my education, and work towards realizing my father's dream. Your support and kindness mean the world to us.

Thank you for reading our story and for considering helping us during this difficult time.
