HELP ME AND MY FAMILY TO SURVIVE

I'm Fadi, and I'm reaching out to you with a heavy heart from the Gaza Strip. I'm 24 years old, and my family and I are living through what feels like a nightmare—this is our sixth war, and it's unlike anything we've experienced before. It's like living through a nightmare, where safety is a distant memory.

Currently, my family and I find ourselves among the displaced, taking refuge in makeshift tents in Rafah. These flimsy shelters offer no protection against the biting cold of winter, nor do they shield us from the horrors that surround us. My family consists of eleven individuals, each facing their own trials amidst this crisis:

Father: Ahmed Hassn Mouns, 53

Mother: Iman Khmaes Hassan, 43

Brothers: Khaled (28), Hassn (26), Salah (22), Mohamed (15), Ayman (12), Shady (10)

Sisters: Amal (18), Sham (6)

Myself: Fadi Ahmed Mouns, 24

we lost the business we painstakingly built from scratch, using our hard-earned savings. It's a devastating blow that leaves us with nothing but shattered dreams.

Basic necessities like food, water, and sanitation are scarce, and there's no relief in sight. The vibrant life we once knew has been replaced by fear and uncertainty.

All we yearn for now is safety—a respite from the relentless onslaught of violence. We seek the simple comfort of sleeping without the fear of impending danger. Our hope lies in escaping through the Rafah crossing, but financial constraints stand in our way.

Before the war, I worked in marketing and e-commerce, contributing to my family's needs and assisting my father with house payments. But now, amidst the chaos, work is a distant memory. To add to our woes, my brother Hassn suffers from Hepatitis C, while my sister Amal experiences excruciating eye pain, both in urgent need of medical attention. Personally, I battle severe toothache, exacerbated by the lack of access to dental care.

Creating this fundraiser was a deeply emotional decision, born out of desperation and a sense of helplessness. In Gaza, where internet and electricity are luxuries, reaching out for aid is a daunting task. Yet, with each passing day, the specter of losing a loved one looms larger, driving me to seek help wherever I can.

I implore you, kind-hearted souls, to join hands with us in our quest for safety and stability. . Our goal is to raise $5,000 for each adult and $2,500 for each child to facilitate our evacuation to a safer haven in Egypt.

Thank you for your compassion and support. Your help could save our lives and give us a chance to rebuild what we've lost.
