Help Yara Rebuild Her Life
Donation protected
Hey this is Tara living currently in the USA and I have created this fundraiser to help my close friend Yara to rebuild her life from under the rubles.
Yara would like to share her story with her own words...
I'm Yara 24 years old. My family has been the source of great happiness and love in my life, and our hearts are full of warmth and care. My mother, a symbol of tenderness and care, was the heart of our family and the center of our lives. After her sudden passing due to the Corona virus in January 2021, our lives turned into a bitter nightmare, but we did not give up.
In October 2023, we lost Ahmed, my twin dear of our hearts, in a horrific war on Gaza, and my brother Mahmoud was seriously injured, so the days turned into endless darkness, as if sadness was emanating from every inch of our lives.
On a dark day, just two days after Ahmed’s death, my brothers, Mahmoud and Ibrahim, and I were forced to flee from our home to a modest shelter center, where conditions were very difficult. The school that became our new home was suffering from a lack everything, from water to electricity, and things were not any better in the school either, the space was very cramped, and the conditions were uninhabitable.
On October 25, I lost my private office, which was my hope for building a better future, and suddenly my dreams were shattered in the midst of devastation and devastation.
My birthday was on the thirteenth of November, but it was not like any other birthday. Rather, it was a sad birthday. There was no one next to me to congratulate me, as if the joy had completely disappeared from my heart.
The ordeal was endless. The next day I was exposed to the danger of bombing that almost killed me, and the next day the bombing destroyed our entire house, so all our memories began to disappear in one moment.
In December, my brother Ibrahim was seriously injured, and we had to flee again, this time to the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, where we lived dark and difficult days in a small tent between hope and despair.
Today, I and the rest of my family desperately need your help. Please help us rebuild our lives, provide shelter and material support, so that we can overcome difficulties and live in peace and security. Because we believe in the power of will and steadfastness, and we know that hope is still alive within our hearts, and that we will rise again with your help and our solid will.
