Our Story
My name is Hala Nael Shabet, and I am reaching out from Gaza City on behalf of my family with a heartfelt plea for your support. Once a thriving and close-knit family, we are now facing unimaginable hardships as a result of the relentless conflict. The Shabet family has been torn apart by violence, leaving us without a home, livelihood, or security.
Before the War
Our life in Gaza was humble yet filled with hope and dreams for the future. My husband worked tirelessly to provide for our children, and I was devoted to building a nurturing environment for them. Our three children—Sajid, 9, Abdul Rahman, 7, and Zeina, 4—brought joy and purpose to our lives. Sajid, an ambitious and bright student, dreams of becoming a doctor to heal the sick and bring comfort to those in need. Our home was filled with love and aspirations, despite the challenges of living in Gaza.
After the War
Everything changed in the blink of an eye. The ongoing conflict has left us shattered. My mother-in-law and her siblings were killed in an airstrike, and my husband suffered a devastating injury, losing his hand in the attack. Our home, once our sanctuary, was reduced to rubble. Food is scarce, and we are struggling just to survive. Each day is a battle
against starvation, fear, and despair.
Why We Need Your Help
Our greatest wish is to escape this endless cycle of violence and rebuild our lives in a place where our children can live in peace, dignity, and safety. But we cannot do this alone. The road to safety is filled with obstacles—financial, emotional, and logistical.
Your help is our only hope.
How the Funds Will Be Spent
The funds raised will be used to meet our immediate needs:
Food and Shelter: To provide basic sustenance and a roof over our heads.
Travel Costs: To help us leave Gaza and find a safer place to rebuild our lives.
Basic Supplies: To ensure our children have the essentials they need to grow and learn.
Your generosity can help turn our story of loss into one of hope and healing.
Our Children’s Dreams
Our children are the heart of our family and the reason we fight to survive each day.
Sajid (9 years old): An ambitious and talented student, Sajid dreams of becoming a doctor. He wants to heal others and bring comfort to the suffering, inspired by the pain he has witnessed.
Abdul Rahman (7 years old): A lively child with a kind heart, he dreams of a life filled with laughter and stability.
Zeina (4 years old): Full of innocence and curiosity, she deserves a chance to grow up in a world free from the shadows of war.
Their dreams are simple yet profound: to live in a home where they can feel safe and pursue a future without fear.
Conclusion
Your contributions can give us the chance to start anew. No matter the size, every donation will bring us closer to safety, stability, and a brighter future. We are prepared to provide videos and photos documenting our struggles, should you need proof of our dire situation.
Thank you for opening your heart to our family. Your kindness will forever remain in our prayers, and you will be a part of our journey toward hope and healing.
With deepest gratitude,
