Help my family live in a safe place

Our Story: A Cry for Help from Gaza
My name is Mohamed Samir Juma. I am a husband, a father, and a survivor of the ongoing war in Gaza. My family and I once had a home, a place of warmth and love. But today, we live in a fragile tent near the sea in Mawasi Khan Younis. We did not choose this life. We were forced to flee when our home was destroyed by relentless bombings. Now, we struggle every day to survive, trapped in a nightmare that never seems to end.

Our Life Before the War
Before the war, we lived a simple but peaceful life in Gaza. I worked hard to provide for my wife and our 3-year-old child. Our home was small, but it was filled with love. My son had a safe space to play, and we had hope for a better future. But everything changed overnight. The war shattered our lives, tearing apart our dreams and leaving us in unimaginable suffering.

Our Situation After the War
Today, we live in a tent made of cloth—thin, fragile, and unable to protect us from the scorching heat or freezing cold. In the summer, we are swarmed by insects, and in the winter, we shiver through long, cold nights. Clean water is a luxury we no longer have, and food is never enough. My son cries from hunger, and I feel powerless knowing I cannot provide for him the way a father should.
The war did not only take away our home; it took away our health and security. I suffer from a chronic illness that requires proper medical care, but there are no hospitals available to treat me. My condition is worsening every day. My son was also injured in his right hand due to the war and urgently needs surgery. But without money, medical care is out of reach. My wife watches us suffer, helpless and broken, as we try to hold on to hope.
Why We Need Your Help
Our only chance of survival is to escape. We need to leave Gaza and seek refuge in a place where my son can grow up without fear, where I can receive medical treatment, and where we can rebuild our lives. But escaping this war is nearly impossible without help. We have no savings, no income, and no resources to make this journey on our own.
Your kindness could be the difference between life and death for my family. Your support could give my son the chance to heal, my wife the hope of a stable life, and me the ability to fight for our future. No human being should have to live like this, and with your help, we won’t have to.

How Your Support Will Change Our Lives
Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to safety. Here is how your contributions will help:
$10 can help us buy clean water for a week.
$50 can provide food for our family for several days.
$100 can go toward medical treatment for my illness.
$500 can help with my son’s urgent surgery.
$1,000+ will go toward securing travel documents and finding a safe place to live.
Every dollar you give is a step toward freedom, health, and security for my family. We are not just asking for charity—we are asking for the chance to survive and rebuild our lives.

How the Funds Will Be Spent
We want to be transparent about how your donations will be used:
50% - Travel and relocation costs (passport, visa, transportation)
20% - Medical treatment (for my chronic illness and my son’s surgery)
15% - Food and basic necessities (to keep us healthy and strong until we leave)
15% - Shelter and housing (to secure a safe place to live outside of Gaza)
We will keep you updated every step of the way so you can see the impact of your generosity.

A Powerful Call to Action: We Need You Now
Time is running out for us. Every day we stay here, our lives are in danger. We are reaching out to you, not just as strangers, but as human beings in desperate need of compassion.
Please, if you can donate, even $5 can make a difference. If you cannot donate, sharing our story can help us reach someone who can.
Together, we can escape this suffering and start anew. Your kindness and generosity will forever be in our hearts.

Please donate, share, and help us reach safety.
Thank you for being our hope in this time of darkness. ❤️
