HELP TESNEEEM AND HER FAMILY REBUILD LIFE AFTER WAR IN GAZA

My name is Tasneem, I’m 19 years old, and I’m from Gaza.

I completed high school (Tawjihi) in July 2023 with a 93% average. I had big dreams of going to university and becoming someone who could support and uplift my family. For me, education wasn’t just a path—it was hope, a way out. I had ambition, passion, and drive… but everything changed overnight.

This was our life before the war...

We were a simple family of nine, living in Beit Lahia. My parents ran a small fruit and vegetable business. We bought from local farmers and sold to neighbors. It wasn’t much, but it allowed us to live with dignity. Two of my younger siblings are just children, and we were proud of what little we had.

But then the war came… and everything fell apart.

Our home, our business, our peace—gone. Our family store was bombed and burned to the ground during the latest invasion. Years of work disappeared in seconds. We lost everything we relied on to survive. Then, while trying to collect firewood because there was no gas or electricity, my father and older brother were severely injured by an explosion. They haven’t been able to walk or work since.

To make it worse, our house was destroyed. We became displaced, moving from one shelter to another, living in overcrowded conditions with no privacy, stability, or security. Basic necessities like food, water, clothes, and medicine became a daily struggle.

This is our situation now…

We are living in harsh conditions. We are exhausted and broken, but we haven’t lost hope. I’ve taken on the role of caregiver, doing everything I can to support my family. I’m no longer just a student; I’m a provider, a protector, and a sister trying to hold everything together.

Why we need your help…

I created this campaign to ask for help—not out of weakness, but out of necessity. Our goal is to raise $40,000 to help us survive and rebuild a life with dignity. Every donation will go toward:

Emergency food and clean water

Urgent medical treatment for my father and brother

Shelter and clothing for my siblings

Educational resources so I and my siblings can continue learning

Rebuilding a small source of income to sustain ourselves

Prices in Gaza are skyrocketing. A single bag of flour reached $200 during the war. Even basic hygiene items are unaffordable now. This is our everyday reality.

How your support will change our lives…

Your help will bring warmth back into our lives. It will put food on our table, help treat our injured, bring education back to us, and restore our sense of home. Every dollar helps us take a step closer to safety, healing, and hope.

Where your funds will go (transparent breakdown):

$10,000: Medical treatment and medication

$8,000: Shelter and basic furnishings

$7,000: Food, clean water, hygiene

$5,000: Educational support and university tuition

$10,000: Support to start a small business again

Our story matters, and your support can rewrite it.

I’m not just raising funds—I’m raising my voice. On behalf of my family, I invite you to stand with us, not just in charity, but in humanity. Every contribution, every share, every act of kindness matters.

Please share this campaign, even if you can't donate. It may reach someone who can.

Let’s rebuild our lives together. Help me give my siblings a future. Help us rise from the rubble.
