Help me Evacuate my Kids from Gaza war
Donation protected
"Nothing is more precious to a person than their homeland, but when your country becomes the reason for the death of your loved ones, you are forced, regretfully, to leave it to protect them. Because home is the place where your loved ones are.
I am Duha Latif, 29 years old, teacher from Gaza, married and a mother of two children . I have lived through five wars, and each time I miraculously survived. In this war, I am living it with my young children, Amir, 6 years old, and Kareem, one and a half years old.
This is Ameer >>
Ameer was in his first year of primary school for a month before the war destroyed his beautiful dreams. He always asks me eagerly, "Mom, when will I go back to my school?"
As for Kareem, he hasn't even completed his second year.
This is Kareem >>
I want to save my children and their lives, no matter the cost, because I feel guilty for bringing them into this life in this patch of land that knows neither peace nor safety. I cannot bear the loss of my sons in this conflict and in this merciless war.
I cannot bear hearing the cries and panic of my children as the rockets fall, and the sound of ambulances terrifies my elder son, causing him fear and depression, and it crushes my heart when I cannot answer his questions: "Mom, will we die? When will the war end? When can I sleep peacefully? When can I watch TV?"
In addition to the constant threat of death due to this war and the lack of safety, we are suffering greatly from the lack of electricity, clean water, and food. The health situation is very bad; there are no hospitals, no medications, not even the basic necessities of life.
I have lost three close friends and their families, along with their children. I also lost my friend to cancer due to the closure of the Rafah border crossing and the lack of medications.
Life was not perfect before the war, but I always used to say that we might live an abnormal life, but we could die in a normal way. And now, we cannot live nor die in a normal way!
I have reached out to several refugee agencies in several countries for help in obtaining humanitarian asylum during the war, but all the countries have refused because their laws do not grant asylum to seekers outside their country's borders. Accessing countries that grant asylum requires a large sum of money that I cannot afford, unless you help me and my family. There is a large sum of money that we must provide in order to leave Gaza through the Rafah border crossing, which connects Gaza and Egypt. There are also the costs of traveling from Gaza to Egypt, along with the expenses of staying for a period in Egypt and providing the necessary medications and clothing for our temporary residence, until we can arrange our affairs to go to a place where we can find safety and security for our children.
This is 105 days of horror, 105 days of waiting for death every minute. We do not want luxury; we just seek salvation, we seek safety.
I am reaching out to you, our friends, our family, and sympathetic strangers, hoping that together we can provide the necessary means to evacuate my family from the ravaged Gaza Strip, torn apart by war. Every penny has its significance, and your contribution will go directly towards securing a safe passage for my family to leave this dangerous and unstable environment.
The funds raised will only cover the evacuation costs, and that's all I want. Your support will not only help ensure the physical safety of my family, but it will also provide them with a chance to rebuild their lives in a safer and more stable environment.
Please stand with me in this critical moment. Your generosity can make a profound difference in the lives of my family members who are enduring unimaginable hardship. Share this campaign with your network, donate what you can, and let us bring my family to safety— together.
even if you cannot donate please share this post so that others may see it! My heartfelt thanks to you for taking the time to read this and share it!
I am grateful for any donation, no matter how small, because it will make a big difference, and the compassion of international communities is our only remaining hope for salvation.
