Save Ratiba and her family from war and live safely

Donation protected

Hello, I am Charlie K, the person raising the money to give to Ratiba Al-Shaer and her family. Please, find it within your heart to donate for the sake of this Gazan family. Even if it is only 25 dollars, any amount is worth so much to this family.

The 25.000 dollars will be used towards the family's fund to escape Gaza. 5.000 for each person in the family.

If you cannot donate, share share share! Boost their story! Please, allow them a chance at a better life. God willing, they will live. Ameen.

I am Ratiba Al-Shaer,I am 54 years old, My husband died, and I remained responsible for meeting the needs of my children, Day and night, I became a father and a mother to them. It is a difficult task and a great responsibility after I used to live in comfort, and my husband was responsible for everything, but he died and left me and my children, and we have no source. He entered, the world became dark in my face, but I was determined to be strong and not to surrender for their sake.
I have four children:
Abed, Mohamad, Ahmed, and my daughter Maha.
We had a beautiful little house with many beautiful details and love and wonderful family bonding.
My children always looked forward to the weekend to spend a fun day somewhere and have a good time together
As the days pass and the displacement takes place, the situation gets worse for us
The war has stripped us of everything.
The home of our dreams, the safety and the sense of security that once supported us. Our world has turned into a struggle for daily survival. Even the basics of life such as food, water and medicine are difficult to obtain. Even education and their future have been halted due to the constant threat, bombing, destruction and genocide.
After October 7, this damned war forced us to leave our home and give up everything we had. We moved to places that were supposed to be safe, but they became dangerous. We were forced to continue moving from one place to another in search of safety for my children, and I have not yet found a safe place.
We live in a tent in this bitter cold,I could not get clothes for my children from under the rubble of my house. And they feel very cold
Currently, we have lost everything we have. I only have my children
Please, as you read this, think about the difference you can make. It's not just about saving lives; It is about restoring the dignity and hope that war stole. Your contribution can be a lifeline that saves a monotonous family and gives my children a chance in a world where their future is not determined by fear.
Rather, loving and caring for those who stand with them in their most difficult times, continuing their education and feeling safe
I ask everyone to donate and help save my family and get us out of Gaza.
