Help Mahmoud and Family Rebuild their life

My name is Mahmoud Qaddoha, 33 years old, from the central Gaza Strip. Despite living under the harsh challenges of occupation, my brothers and I have always worked hard, facing enormous challenges along the way. Before the devastating war tore our lives apart, we poured our life savings into building a five-story house and investing in our future. It is unfortunate that everything we built turned into ruins in an instant. As a journalist, I was targeted, and my family home bore the brunt of this senseless violence. The cost of seeking and sharing the truth cost me dearly, as my family had to bear the consequences. I lost all the equipment, cameras and laptop accessories that cost me a lot to buy, all of which were destroyed when Israeli forces targeted our house.

Now, we find ourselves homeless, living in a tent with meager resources, and struggling due to the loss of our jobs. Over the past 6 months, I have dedicated myself to reporting on the dire situation in the central Gaza Strip, risking my life every day to highlight the harsh reality our community faces. I have been actively involved in relief efforts, putting the needs of our people above my own.

Today, with a heavy heart, I humbly ask for help for myself and my family. Your support and generosity will be a beacon of hope as we strive to rebuild our shattered lives starting from scratch.

Despite the enormous challenges, my determination to thrive and embrace life remains steadfast. Being Palestinian embodies resilience and an unwavering spirit; I have a deep love for my country, and I am committed to forging a brighter future for my family in Gaza.

I urge you to consider contributing to our cause. Your donations will have a significant impact on our ability to recover and start a new life in Gaza once this crisis is over. Thank you for your generosity and support during this difficult time.

I have decided to launch a personal fundraising campaign dedicated to helping my family who have lost everything due to my profession. The Israeli forces contacted me directly and threatened me, then they bombed my family’s home and I built this house with our blood and sweat, and 7 members of my family were martyred (my brother, his two daughters, his son, my other brother’s wife, and 2 of his sons). Now, my family of more than 25 people finds themselves living in tents. Therefore, I am launching this campaign to seek help for myself and my family during these difficult times.
