Help Yousef and his family leave Gaza
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Youssef from the Gaza Strip. Let me introduce you to my story
I am 21 years old. I study multimedia and I love volunteer work. My father died when I was less than a year old, and my mother died in the Corona events three years ago. They wished us a bright future with our jobs and lives and for us to have families.
I have two brothers, the first is a pharmacist and the other is an accountant, and they are all that remains for me. We were living an acceptable life before this war, trying to build ourselves by working and studying. My older brother works every day in the pharmacy at night to save the costs of my studies, and my other brother is an accountant in a restaurant. We seemed like a happy family, smiling at the future.
But since the war started, my life has turned upside down.
My house was partially damaged, my brothers lost their jobs due to the bombing of their workplaces, and my university turned into a shelter center. We struggle daily to obtain bread, if any, unclean water, and simple foods, which are mostly canned, if available, at ridiculous prices that we cannot pay at a time when there is no money because since the war began. There is no work to provide the money necessary for living, and what is more difficult than that is the psychological aspect of loss, the loss of relatives, loved ones, and friends, the feeling of being lost, not feeling safe, the life of displacement and movement, life in tents, and the loss of the future. Our previous smile has disappeared. Therefore, I ask you to donate for me and my brothers to get out of Gaza to safety and save ourselves so that we can continue our lives like any other human being and build our future as our parents wanted.
