Help me and my family to evacuate from Gaza.‏

Hello, I'm Mustafa, a ninth-grade student who has excelled throughout his life, always ranking first and the youngest child in my family. We live in northern Gaza, which has been devastated by the genocidal war that occurred seven months ago.

What has the war done to us? It has shattered my dreams and future as a bright child aspiring to succeed in life and become a renowned architect worldwide. It destroyed our home, which my father spent 30 years building throughout his working life, reduced to ashes in a moment. My siblings also lost their jobs due to the war, leaving them unemployed despite each having a decent job before the war. We live in harsh conditions with no adequate healthcare facilities, medication, or educational institutions as schools and universities have been destroyed.

To summarize our story, on 9-10/2023, we received a call to evacuate our home and head west. It was our first time leaving our home. We headed west, and within an hour, the entire neighborhood I lived in was destroyed. After five days, we were instructed to leave to the south, and indeed, we did. We were then asked to leave the area and move to multiple locations, ultimately ending up in Rafah, threatened with imminent attack and complete destruction at any moment. However, the house we stayed in Rafah suffered severe damage during a neighboring house's bombing. Our house in the north of the Gaza Strip and the one we moved to in the south were also destroyed، My family tried to move from place to place according to the instructions to keep us safe, but the truth is there is no safe place. Every place is subjected to bombing, killing, displacement, and starvation. As the seventh month of the genocide approaches its end, I find myself and my family trapped in Gaza, facing constant danger and difficulties. My parents, both over 50 years old, need a quiet life and medical care, especially my mother, who suffers from spinal disc herniation and seeks comfort. Job opportunities are unavailable for my siblings, who have been unemployed for seven months. Daily life revolves around queuing for basic necessities like water and bread, and we struggle to find firewood for cooking as cooking gas is unavailable. Despite our efforts to resume life, the challenges seem insurmountable. With no electricity, internet, or place for education and leisure, the constant bombings and imminent threat of death have eroded hope, making life in Gaza increasingly unbearable، Every day here worsens compared to the previous one; the threat of bombing and destruction looms closer. We are not in a safe place; we are in a genocidal war. Therefore, we decided to create a GoFundMe campaign with the help of my brother and his friend from America, who assisted us in setting it up. We decided to share our story with kind-hearted people worldwide and raise the amount needed to escape the war, death, and destruction to a safe country where we can live peacefully and pursue our dreams, settling like any successful family in the world. With the support of the humanitarian world, we aim to raise $70,000, divided as follows:

Message to you: I know the world is full of goodness, and I believe in the power of community and its ability to make a change with me in my story. So, I'm here asking for your help, even if it's with a small amount. Every dollar means a lot to me and my family. Share my story and help me achieve my dream. Together, we can make a difference and help me escape from Gaza, building a new life full of hope and stability. Thank you for your support and solidarity during this difficult time. With love and gratitude, Mustafa, the youngest brother of a family in need of your support to escape the genocide.‏
