Escape To Safety: Saed's Family Journey From Gaza

Hello, my name is Memo.

Today, I'm reaching out to share Saed's story, a friend I've come to know and deeply respect over the past two years through our interactions on social media. Saed, a resilient and skilled digital marketing specialist, lives with his family in Gaza, which has seen its share of hardships, wars, and injustices for decades.

Recently, Saed's world turned upside down. The war in Gaza not only stripped him of his livelihood, as he lost all his contracts due to interrupted internet services, but it also destroyed the very tools of his trade - his laptop, screen, and other essential equipment, totaling $2,700 in losses. This setback has tremendously affected Saed and his family, who are all striving to build their paths in ridiculously challenging and dangerous circumstances.

On top of all this, the entire family of 6 are now displaced to Rafah, living in unbearable conditions.

They left to escape the bombardment. There's no way to go back to their home, as there are reports that it may be destroyed.

The Al Mugharee family members are Riad Sameer (father), Manar Said (mother), Saeda (sister), Reham (sister), Sameer (brother) and Saed.

Saed's elder sister, Saeda, a talented freelance software engineer, UI/UX Designer, and artist, is doing her best to support the family. His younger sister, Reham is a dedicated student in her 4th year of software engineering at the university. Sameer, his 15-year-old brother, is still in school.

The reality they face in Rafah City is grim. With ongoing airstrikes and escalating tensions, their safety and well-being are in constant jeopardy. This is why we are urgently seeking your help.

We aim to raise $60,000 to provide Saed and his family the means to rebuild their lives and relocate to a safer environment. $30,000 of this fund will be dedicated to ensuring their safe passage through the Rafah crossing. The remainder will help them settle in a new home in Cairo, where they can pursue their careers and education without the shadow of fear and terror looming over them.

Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in the lives of Saed and his family. It's not just about financial assistance; it's about giving them a chance at safety, stability, and a future filled with hope.

Thank you for your kindness and support. Together, we can help Saed and his family step into a safer, brighter future.
