From Gaza to Canada: A Journey of Escape and Hope.
Donation protected
Hey everyone, it's Ibrahim Isbitah, and I'm reaching out to you from the heart of the ongoing crisis in Gaza, Palestine. I find myself compelled to share a story of resilience, hope, and the desperate need for support from compassionate souls like you.
For the past 100 days, my family and I have been living through a nightmare. Our home in Gaza, built over 15 years of hard work in media, now lies in ruins. With nowhere else to turn, we've huddled together in a small tent in the Southern Gaza, specifically in the Rafah city near the Egyptian borders.
The devastation isn't just physical; it's the shattered dreams of our children that weigh heavily on our hearts. They should be dreaming of becoming doctors, teachers, or whatever their hearts desire. Instead, they are confronted with the harsh realities of war and the uncertainty of their future.
My brother, fortunate to be in Canada, is doing everything in his power to get us out of this dire situation. However, the cost of fleeing to Egypt then Canada is beyond our capabilities. This is where you come in, our lifeline, our hope.
Our plan is simple but profound – to escape the horrors of Gaza and start anew in Canada with your support. We want to provide our children with the chance to rebuild their dreams and contribute positively to society.
The money will be spent on fleeing from Gaza to Egypt, as they are asking for 5K per person just to get to Egypt. This counts 21 members, including Dad, Mom, three of my children, my wife, and me along with my two brothers with their families. We will spend around 80K on this payment before it gets late and the borders between Gaza and Egypt are closed.
Your support will not only enable us to reach safety in Canada but will also provide a chance to start anew, to rebuild the shattered pieces of our lives, and to offer our children the promising future they deserve.
Please consider contributing to our cause, and share our story with others who might be willing to help. Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to a family that has endured more than words can express.
