Help Muhammad Evacuate Gaza to Return to the Stadiums

Hello, I'm Clark, and I'm an American raising money for Muhammad Al-Sharif. Here's his story:

I'm Muhammad Al-Sharif, and I'm 18 years old. I live in the center of Gaza City, Palestine and play goalkeeper in one of the football clubs, the most recent of which is Gaza Sports Club. I am also a 12th grade baccalaureate student.

Like any young man in the world, I have had ambitions and hopes since childhood, and my ambition was to become a football player in one of the famous clubs.

Since childhood, I have been playing football, training and playing in sports academies, and I also love studying, and I found a good balance between those two aspects of my life.

I trained and worked on myself until I started playing in one of the clubs in my city, the last of which was the Gaza Sports Club.

On the morning of October 7, war broke out in the two cities of Gaza, and we woke up to the sound of explosions, raids, and bombing.

Then life in Gaza stopped completely, meaning my sports career stopped as well as my education, and I began to sit at home and see what was happening to my city and when this war would end so that I could return to my normal life of sports and studies.

But the war continued strongly, the entire school year in Gaza was suspended, and my sports career stopped.

Since the beginning of the war, I have not touched a football, and I have lost my physical fitness because it requires daily exercise. Currently, we are in a state of war. There are no stadiums or clubs. They are all closed, and most of them have been bombed by warplanes.

The occupation deliberately targeted all life facilities in Gaza, such as schools, universities, hospitals, parks, and clubs, all of which were subjected to direct bombardment.

My family and I are currently living in the most difficult circumstances and in a state of heartbreak after they provided me with all their effort and money for registration fees in sports academies from my childhood until I became a player in one of the clubs, and I was hoping that I would become a professional and play in one of the clubs outside Palestine.

While I was in the club, I used to receive a small salary that was considered my personal expenses and my family’s expenses, but now everything has ended due to the war, and currently I have become unable to obtain the most basic necessities of life.

We then moved to the daily suffering experienced by all residents of Gaza, from displacement from one place to another, living in tents and under extreme heat, and the difficulty of obtaining the minimum basic requirements for my family, such as food and clean drinking water.

Hence, I appeal to the living consciences and the world to stand by me until I return to achieve my dream and complete my sports career after I lost it several months ago, and the club director promised me that I would play professionally outside Palestine after obtaining my baccalaureate degree.

I hope you can help me reach a safe place outside Gaza City by donating or sharing the link so that I can return to my sports career and the stadiums.

All donations will be used to aid Muhammad in evacuation, and, if necessary, any treatment or everyday expenses he accrues beforehand. The money will be transferred to hia family via Western Union.
