Help Reunite our Family from Gaza

From the heart of Gaza, where harsh events intersect and difficulties abound, I am Mrs. Um Fares, living a tragic life, trapped between the ruins of war and the walls of the blockade. Our memories and dreams have been shattered along with our home, making everything seem more hopeless.

In the wake of destruction, we are five souls yearning for a glimmer of hope. Our immediate need is to flee to Egypt, where we can seek refuge and rebuild our shattered lives.

The journey to safety is fraught with uncertainty, but with your support, we can take the first step towards a brighter tomorrow. Every day is a battle for survival as we face unimaginable hardships, struggling to find enough to eat amidst the siege that grips our community.

It has been seven months since the war started, and I have not been able to see my children. I am stranded in the northern part of the city while my sons are in the south. After their homes were destroyed, they moved south, and now the blockade prevents any movement between our areas. Text messages, though infrequent, have become our only means of sharing our longing and pain.

Additionally, my children have suffered from the loss of their homes and their source of income due to the bombings. We find ourselves drowning in need and despair, without hope of realizing our dreams. Amid these harsh circumstances, thoughts of surrender and defeat haunt us, yet we cling to hope and resilience.

We desperately need humanitarian donations. With the current situation, it has become impossible for us to return to work, and the lack of resources makes survival extremely difficult. We have lost everything in the war, from our homes and belongings to even our clothes.

Your generosity can provide us with the means to escape this cycle of despair and embrace a future filled with promise. No contribution is too small, for each act of kindness brings us closer to reclaiming our dignity and securing a better life for ourselves.

We promise to honor your support by using it wisely to rebuild our lives and contribute positively to our new community.

Thank you for opening your hearts to our plight and for standing with us in our journey towards hope and healing.

With gratitude, Layla (Um Fares) and her family.
