Help Mariam and Basem Rebuild Their Lives

Message from the Hamad family:

My Dear Friends, Beloved Family, and Kind-hearted Supporters,

Allow me to introduce you to Mariam and Basem, two courageous souls whose lives have been profoundly affected by the brutal war in Gaza. Their stories encapsulate the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity.

Mariam, a 12-year-old Palestinian from the city of Beit Hanoun, endured five relentless months of war, fleeing her home amidst shelling and airstrikes. With each displacement, she lost not only her physical belongings but also the sense of security and stability that every child deserves. Her dreams of education and a brighter future hang in the balance as she navigates the challenges of starting over in Egypt.

Basem, an 18-year-old Palestinian youth, shares Mariam's struggles as he grapples with the emotional toll of leaving behind his homeland and loved ones. His aspirations of attending university and rebuilding his shattered life are hindered by the trauma of war and displacement. The destruction of his home has left him with a profound sense of loss and uncertainty.

Both Mariam and Basem are in desperate need of support to rebuild their lives and pursue their dreams. The required amount to cover their expenses, including rent, education, and necessities, exceeds $42,000. Every contribution, no matter how small, will have a significant impact on their journey to recovery. Your generosity and compassion can make a world of difference in their lives, providing them with the hope and support they need to overcome their hardships.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering supporting Mariam and Basem's cause. Together, we can bring light to the darkest corners of their lives and help them rebuild shattered dreams and broken spirits.

Budget:

The amount of 42,000 is to cover the expenditure cost of Basem and Mariam for 3 years until the situation in Gaza is back to normal and schools and universities are operating again. The annual budget needed is $14,000 which will cover the transportation cost, tuition fees, purchase of clothes, books, computers, furniture, health needs, and communications.

This fundraiser is organized by Anusha, a friend in the United States from Texas. The donation amount will be transferred directly to our brother Seif Hamad, based in Egypt for his studies. If you are unable to contribute financially, I ask you to share our story with others who may be able to help.

Attached to this message are a photo of Mariam and Basim and a video of our damaged home. This video serves as a reminder of the devastation we have endured, and the resilience and hope that fuels our determination to rebuild.

With deepest gratitude,

Seif Hamad and the Hamad family.
