Save my sisters from the war of Gaza!

Hello,

My name is Rehab Al-Barmam, and I am contacting you to request urgent assistance for my sister Ibtisam Fadel Abu Nada and her children, who are in desperate need of safety and support. Their situation is tragic, and I address you with hope and faith that together we can make a difference.

Personal appeal:

I am Sama Abu Nada Ibtisam’s daughter . My life was once full of hope and ambition. I was studying graphic design, balancing my studies and work, but the war turned our world upside down. Despite everything, I am grateful to be alive so I can try to save my family who are still in Gaza. Now, I am desperately seeking scholarships to further my education and rebuild my future.

I was able to leave Gaza with my mother to get medical treatment, but this meant leaving my three sisters in Rafah. Our father in northern Gaza, a civil engineer who works in hospital maintenance, chose to stay in the north to serve others during this crisis.

My sisters are living in unimaginable conditions. Gaza has become a place of profound suffering and hardship. There is no gas for cooking. They are forced to burn wood and paper to prepare meals. Bakeries are closed, leaving them without bread, and clean water is scarce. As a result, two of my sisters have been infected with hepatitis.

With government salaries halted and prices skyrocketing, they are experiencing hardships that no one should have to face, especially young girls alone in southern Gaza.

In addition to my father’s suffering in the north, where they were targeted several times while they were in hospitals to work, in addition to the shortage of a lot of food and the high prices, my father grows some vegetables until they find something to satisfy their hunger.

- Doha, 22 years old, studies dentistry and dreams of leaving Gaza to complete her studies.

- Sana, 21 years old, is pursuing a degree in computer science, she was ranked among the top students in her

college and she is heavily involved in volunteer work.

- Nada, 17 years old, was about to finish her last year of school and aspired to become an architect.

The war shattered their dreams and cast a shadow of despair over their future. In the midst of this chaos, I knew I had to do something. I could not sit idly by while my sisters suffered.

I started this fundraiser with a broken spirit but with a glimmer of hope that your generosity could bring salvation to my family. I humbly ask for your help. Your contribution can be the beacon of hope my sisters so desperately need. It can help them escape the horrors of war and continue their education. Your support will not only save them from the immediate risks they face, but will also enable them to achieve their dreams and build a better future.

How your donations will be used:

- $20,000: Travel expenses to Egypt for safety.

- Dentistry studies for Doha:

- $1,500 one-time application fee.

- $25,000 for the remaining two years of her program and to purchase new dental tools that were lost when the college building was bombed.

- Computer Science Studies for Sana:

- $1,500 one-time application fee.

- Living expenses: $2,000 periodically to cover expenses while they are in Egypt.

Please don't leave my sisters alone in this nightmare. Your kindness can make a big difference. The funds will be carefully used and transferred via Western Union to ensure they reach you immediately. Help us save our future.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Any support you can provide, whether through a donation or by participating in our fundraiser, would be greatly appreciated. Together, we can get my sisters to safety and give them a chance to rebuild their lives.

With sincere gratitude,

Rehab Al Barmam
