Donation protected
When you see the death more than one time, When you lose all of your memories, life and friends , When you lose your house and sleep in streets , When the snipers open fire on you and you can't find food , water, medicine and the smell of dead bodies become a part of your day , You will lose your interest , passion and soul , you stop caring about anything else ... !

 I'm medical Analytics specialist , Elham Hafiz , 26 years old with a strong ambition and perseverance, I'm just a simple girl who loves life , has her dreams , work, home ... suddenly everything has vanished from her life , I was working in a clinic with a good salary, In addition I have been working in volunteer work since the beginning of the events in Gaza strip , I have not stopped volunteer work and helping people for a day , I dedicated my life for my family and to bringing positive change to my community and beyond , Unfortunately, my life has been upside down since Oct 7th , since that particular day , thousands of innocent lives have been lost in Gaza ,many of innocent people lost their works and the only sources of income like me , I have never expected to be in this condition, It's like a nightmare I wish If i could wake up from it . I'm writing to you now and the sounds of bombing over my head are restless , I survived 5 wars and so many aggressions by the Israeli occupation since I opened my eyes to this world , This war is the most difficult of all, you are the only option to save my family .


My family is peaceful and civil , has 16 members : I have 3 sister's in addition to me and 2 brothers plus thier spouses and nephews , my youngest niece is only 1 years old. My beloved mom is 67 years old and my beloved dad is already 77 . Here is an ongoing genocide and a real famine ,The recent bombing in Gaza have shattered our lives , making me and my family homeless and without any possessions .our beautiful home , a symbol of our efforts and love , was completely destroyed in this war and my dreams were destroyed with it . . I find myself with nothing but only clothes on us and few identifying papers in our backpacks , we have endured unimaginable horrors . My family is desperately seeking your support to help them evacuate to safety . My family had to evacuate from our house as our area in Gaza city called Southern Remal was heavily bombed which caused extreme destruction and our house got bombed too . We had to flee to Deir al balah after the intensification of the strikes and bombing then we moved to Rafah in the south of Gaza in the hope that we would find safety there, we are living the most difficult days in our lives in a shelter with scarce resources , sleeping on the ground . without any covers, which turned into a very dangerous area too . We are suffering from hunger, thirst and malnutrition and living in fear of losing our lives in the next second. In order to survive we must drink polluted groundwater mixed with sea water .


Last week my whole family already experienced severe poisoning with diarrhea, fever and suffocation due to air pollution as a result of the Israeli occupation throwing internationally banned phosphorous bombs and tear gas canisters . My dad and mom are out of their medicine , Me, my sister's, and the children are suffering from psychological crises and shocks because of the constant sounds of bombs, missiles, barrel bombs, drones and fighter jets. We feel like we are losing our minds from annoying voice. I'm writing this to ask you for your support to help me evacuate my family from Gaza to Egypt. The evacuation is very expensive though and that's why I have initiated this GoFundMe campaign to raise 200,000$ to facilitate my family evacuation to Egypt.

Her's a breakdown of the funds : The only way out of Gaza right now is through Rafah border , which requires a fee around 5000 $ per person as each day there's a different price for evacuation fee at the Rafah border and 2000$ for children and 3,600$ to cover GoFundMe transaction fees . The transaction fee is at 2.9% + 0.25$ per donation at the moment. There are 9 adults and 7 children in my family . Therefore , we would need about 60, 000$ to enable all of my family members to flee from the war in Gaza. 80,000$ for immediate support : this portion will go towards providing immediate assistance to my family when they are in Egypt . It will cover their basic needs for accomodations , food and other essentials during the transitioal period And we need another 140,000 to rebuild the destroyed house and the devastating life.

 Dear friends , you are our only hope to help save my family and get us to Egypt ... So any donation, regardless of size , will make a significant difference in helping us rebuild our lives and provide the basic necessities for our family . The devastation has left us in a precarious situation , including looming debts for the now destroyed house . Your support during this profoundly challenging time will offer us hope amid despair . Your generosity will help us to restore our belief in the kindness of humanity . If you can't contribute I simply ask that you share our story in the hopes that it reaches enough people to save us .

 I promise you , every dollar will be used only to get people fighting for their lives out of Gaza strip. I thank you with all my heart for your precious help, may you be blessed always ! With deep gratitude and appreciated Elham Hafiz
