Husseins story:
Hello, my name is Hussein. I am 39 years old and I formally worked repairing electric bicycles before the war began. I am a proud and dedicated father of 6 loving children of whom I am blessed to have.
I am from Gaza and as you may know, my family and I have been living in a horrific situation for more than 8 months due to the war and occupation. Our home was completely destroyed and we currently live in a small tent that barely fits us all. We have had to evacuate many times seeking a “safe” place to keep me and my family sheltered but not only is nowhere in Gaza safe for us but it has been heartbreaking having to leave our home, belongings, memories and old life behind.
My family: As I mentioned I have 6 wonderful and precious children that I am grateful to have. The oldest, my son Ahmad is 15 years old and my youngest is my son Sanaad who is only 1 year old. A life of pain and fear has become normal for them. I want more than anything to provide them with the happiest lives I can, but it feels impossible with the scarce resources I have. from Khan Yunis to Rafah and recently have been told to evacuate and to relocate to live back in Khan Yunis due to the invasion of Rafah. My family and I, throughout all of the moving and new changes everyday, have been living in inhumane conditions due to the lack of food, clean water, and medical care.
My family has been displaced from Khan Yunis to Rafah and recently have been told to evacuate and to relocate to live back in Khan Yunis due to the invasion of Rafah.
As for me, I have been struggling to take care of not only my family but myself. The war has caused a large amount of mental anguish and fear for the future for my family and I. It has become extremely difficult to sleep every night as most nights I’m only able to get an hour or two of sleep. My fear along with the constant noises of drones, planes and artillery keep me awake. As well as this, I suffer from severe shortness of breath and pulmonary embolism. The dust, dirt and other debris that I inhale from living in a tent make this issue even more fatale and has caused a pneumothorax in my lung. So that I can stay healthy to take care of my family, I am in urgent need of an air sac removal or a lung transplant
I am hoping that until I am able to gain the funds to evacuate Gaza safely with my family, I can use the donations to help my family and I to get the resources to live here without becoming hungry, thirsty or diseased.
Please consider making donations to help my family and I as every small amount counts and can help! If you are unable to donate but would like to help me, please consider sharing with your friends and family. I will be forever grateful for your compassion and generosity.
I will post some pictures of the family before the war in Gaza.
We will be sending funds directly to Hussein so that they can use it for food diapers, medicine and possibly evacuation.
