Help Yasser and his family evacuate Gaza
Donation protected
Hi, this is Salini from the U.K. and I’ve made a campaign for Yasser and his family. He has a few things he’d like to share with you now:
Dear friends and community members,
I never expected to write something like this in my life, but here I am struggling to find the words that can describe the pain in our hearts.
About Me:
I am Yasser, of Palestinian identity, from the Gaza Strip. I'm 33 years old.
I used to work in the field of law, but I lost everything due to the ongoing Israeli war of annihilation until now
We lost everything we had, our home was destroyed, and our dreams were destroyed. I created this campaign because it is our last hope for survival!
I've been thinking about what life might bring me—not just immediately, but also after this genocide is over. I have lived in Gaza all my life, but recently I feel like I need to leave. I need to think about my safety and the safety of my family, above all else. I need to think about what might be best in terms of starting to recover from this absolute nightmare. After much discussion, I decided that I probably needed to leave Gaza to ensure that I had the best chance of achieving these goals
The financial situation is difficult for everyone here, so I expanded the campaign to help my family.
As you know, leaving Gaza is very expensive. I am counting on you to donate to my campaign and spread this message, so that I can get the funds needed to evacuate, once the ceasefire is reached. I am not looking forward to debating this resolution, because no one knows how we feel in Gaza unless you have lived through genocide, as we have. Please think well of me, I'm just trying to do what I think I need to do so I can process this and recover, after the ceasefire is reached.
The worst thing that happened to me as a result of being homeless in the tent is that I no longer carry within me any objections or approval, no path or choice, as if everything is like nothingness, no difference between stopping or continuing, feeling and sub-consciousness, devoid of all aspects of life as If she didn't care, I would wait. Day turns into night.
My family and I were displaced about 8 times from one place to another to escape bombing and death. Every story of homelessness is a story of torment that never ends, and I am now living a very difficult life without the minimum necessities of life.
I make an effort to get out of Gaza, but exit always needs to go through the Rafah crossing, which comes to a significant cost of about $5,000 per non-foreign traveler who wants to cross the border.
Under these difficult and tragic circumstances, I humbly ask for your sympathy and support. Any amount you can donate will be a huge help and will go directly to our rescue. I truly appreciate your kindness and support during this difficult time. If you cannot contribute, I am simply asking you to share their story in the hopes that it will reach enough people to save my family and help me evacuate them from the Gaza genocide.
I love you with all my heart
