Help Muhannad's Family Survive and Rebuild from Gaza
Donation protected
I come to you with a heavy heart and a plea for your support.
My name is Muhannad. One brother with 7 sisters. I am 28 years old. I studied history and political science. My beautiful home was bombed and then eventually the family home was bombed.
I was about to marry the girl I love. Overnight our world collapsed and we were left homeless with nothing but the clothes we fled with.
I lost my house, which I did not sit in for a single day
The money I saved for my marriage, I spent on my family during our displacement.
The war left neither rich nor poor. Everyone has lost their home, job and source of income. Everyone became equal and everyone was in need.
If you can help, don't delay.
We have narrowly escaped death several times. We were displaced to the south through the safe corridor.
We witnessed death before our eyes. We saw people dying on the sidewalk. We moved from the north to Khan Yunis Governorate and from Khan Yunis to Rafah. We witnessed death in the city of Rafah, then we moved to Deir al-Balah. We and our tent are still moving from place to place in search of safety.
My family and I are sheltering in a tent in southern Gaza now. We live in one tent that cannot accommodate us.
We are surrounded by death and destruction. Most of our friends and family have been killed but we hold on to hope. Even when night falls and with the sound of drones killing we fear.
We have exhausted the money we had, and food, water, medicine and basic necessities for survival have become very expensive. I have a sister whose health condition is bad, and for personal reasons I cannot go into details.
These medicines are very expensive. I will skip meals to ensure she gets her medications to survive. We still get sick from diseases that spread quickly due to poor sanitation and lack of food. I and one of my family members, have contracted hepatitis. Besides the insects that ate our bodies.
This is not just a war on us as a people, it is also a “war of exploitation.” A large bag of flour costs US $300, to buy a shelter tent for US $2,000. We have not yet seen any aid reaching us.
Please help us with money so we can buy food, clean water, medicines and help us rebuild the marital home we have worked so hard for. For the past three years, I haven't spent time with my friends, I've only been working on saving and building our house
When this war is over, we have nothing to go back to. We hope you can help us rebuild what was destroyed.
We humbly reach out to our community, friends, and kind-hearted individuals, and ask for your generous support to ease the overwhelming burden of expenses during this difficult time. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference in helping my family get through this tragedy and rebuild our lives.
Your sympathy, prayers and financial assistance are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
I am Janine, a friend of Muhannad and I am supporting his family by coordinating funding for this campaign because gofundme does not allow transferring funds directly to Gaza. I live in the United States and will transfer money to Muhannad directly in Gaza.
You can contact me for any questions. I'm always happy to clarify anything.
