Urgent Appeal: Save My Family in Gaza!

*Your generosity can be our lifeline. Act now to bring hope and safety to a besieged family in constant danger. Donate today and make a life-saving difference!*

————————-

*To the kind-hearted,*

I am Aseel Al-Turk, a high school graduate with an excellent grade. I joined the Faculty of Engineering before the war came and took everything. Our university, Al-Azhar University, was destroyed, which led to the cessation of my education and the education of my brothers Ahmed (This is his Twitter account and this is his account on the Tumblr platform) , Muhammad and Aman (This is his Twitter account and this is his account). The ravages of war have torn apart the memories of our peaceful life. We are left with nothing but despair, pain, and the struggle to survive.

Before and After: Our Home

  • Our home *after* destruction:



I filmed this video early in the morning when the bombings were everywhere, and our lives were in constant danger. But by the grace of God, we are still alive today. We will never forget that day—the screams, the pain, and the sound of children crying everywhere. Sadly, this has become a part of our daily routine. The video below I uploaded it to YouTube

Our Struggle for Survival
After our home was destroyed, we had no choice but to flee into the unknown. We used the last of our savings to buy a tent (even the tent, which was supposed to be an aid, we had to buy!). The tent provides no protection and lacks the basics for living. We had no other choice but to set it up to protect our family and preserve what little we had left.

Daily Hardships
In Gaza, we cook food using fire due to the scarcity of gas, and the continuous search for clean water is a major challenge. These harsh conditions make life a constant struggle and suffering.




My Father's Injury
My father, Jehad Jawdat Al-Turk, was seriously injured in the head and hand due to the brutal bombing in Gaza. He underwent surgery but now needs additional treatment and another operation for his hand. The three tendons in his right hand are severed, and doctors have emphasized the necessity of another surgery to save his hand.


We Deserve to Live!
I have collected a picture of each of us and my siblings and put them into one image. I hope you will remember our faces because you might not see us tomorrow due to the war and danger we live in Gaza. I want everyone to remember us for the good within us, not just as numbers.


Call for Help
We cannot leave Gaza due to travel costs and expenses. In our quest to rebuild our lives and restore what we can from our home and belongings that were completely destroyed, we appeal to you, our human brothers and sisters, for help. Every contribution, whether large or small, is a lifeline that can pull us from this abyss. Join us in breaking the chains that bind us to this torment. Be a ray of hope for me and my family. Your support is not just financial aid.

This is the separation wall that separates us from Egypt!!


We hope to get through it with your help

please donate and repost

Due to the unexpected closure of the border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, our initial goal of relocating has had to be postponed. As a result, we are now focusing our fundraising efforts on securing essential needs such as food, shelter, and the means to live with dignity away from the dangerous areas we currently inhabit.

The situation on the ground is extremely challenging. Prices for basic goods have skyrocketed. For example, the price of tomatoes has risen to $4 per kilogram, compared to just $1 previously. The price of rice has increased from $2.50 to $10 per kilogram. Additionally, cooking oil now costs $24 per liter, up from $6.

Access to affordable food, water, and shelter has become increasingly difficult. Many families like ours are struggling to maintain even the most basic necessities of life. In this climate, every donation becomes crucial.

**How You Can Help:**

1. Financial Contributions: Your donations will help us purchase essential food items and provide safe shelter for our family.

2. Sharing Our Story: Spreading the word about our situation on social media or within your community can help raise awareness and encourage others to contribute.

3. Donating Food Supplies: If you are in a position to provide food supplies or know of organizations that can assist, it would make a significant difference in our daily lives.

4. Connecting Us with Resources: If you have connections to humanitarian organizations or NGOs that can provide support, please reach out on our behalf.

Supporting us during this time isn’t just about helping us leave Gaza anymore—it’s about ensuring we can survive in the face of harsh economic realities. With your help, we can secure the resources needed to provide for our family’s safety and well-being until we find a safer, long-term solution.

Your generosity can make an immediate difference in helping us live free from fear and deprivation. We kindly ask for your support, now more than ever, to help us overcome this challenging moment.

Thank you for standing with us during this critical time.




Note about Liza
Liza, our resilient cat, is still with us. Despite the fear that overwhelms her, Liza carries within her strength and peace that many humans have lost.

Together, we can make a difference and restore hope to our lives.

Please, any help will be enough and will make a difference. Donate and spread the campaign so we can save my family. This link is the lifeline and only hope for a family that loves peace.


With all gratitude and appreciation,
Aseel Jehad Al-Turk
