Help Seraj, Farah and their family get treatment abroad

Donation protected
I am Seraj, 19 years old, but in reality I lived 19 years of war, killing and blood, and my little sister Farah is 8 years old. We come to you with an urgent appeal from my heart, my sister and my family, and I need you.

I study design, editing, photography, content writing and media, and I present and share my content with my dear followers, my little sister Farah who studies at school, and the rest of my sisters who are completing their educational journey. We are like any family, we have a desire for life and goals, but the occupation casts its shadow over our home, our life and our goals. It was very difficult. I had a university, a home and goals, and the occupation destroyed the roof of our dreams, our life and everything. After bombing our home, the occupation asked us to move to the southern Gaza Strip without shelter. During the displacement, I was arrested by the occupation, tortured and presented.

From the bad and inedible food and forced me to eat it, they took me to a garbage dump covered with thorns and sand from which foul odors emanated and gave me strict orders: Take off your clothes and throw them off you and sit on your knees with your hands behind your back and I was forced to do what they asked of me and then they tied me tightly and the brutal investigation began during which I was subjected to beatings, humiliation and insults as if we were just numbers in the equation of violence and oppression and the situation continued until night fell and the bitter cold crept into our exposed bones and my body trembled with pain and fear and after the nights they left me and took me tied and naked as if the torture was not enough after my departure I went to look for my family when I was displaced to the south because I lost contact with them and I met my family and the health condition of my family was very deteriorating and I will certainly not forget what they did to me from practicing torture and for this reason I cannot make any effort and I cannot eat or drink. I think every day about what happened to me, they did this to me, and because of that I suffered from stomach and colon diseases, and my family and I must be treated as soon as possible, and the necessary health care must be provided to us. Due to these harsh conditions we face living in the south, my little sister Farah has suffered from serious illnesses and health conditions, and there is no necessary care to treat us. Now my sister Farah remains in intensive care, and my family and I must be treated as soon as possible because it means life or death. I have also been injured several times in my body and have escaped death many times.

Point to clarify:
_ My sister Farah suffered from a chronic illness in the war, but honestly, honestly, my sister Farah is dying slowly, and there is no treatment for her here, and if it is available, it will be very expensive. I did not mention my sister's illness publicly to preserve the psychological state of Farah and my family, but in fact, my sister Farah's situation is catastrophic. - A number of people contacted me and I explained my sister's illness to them and they thanked me. For inquiries, contact me on my account Instagram
_ We use money for daily life necessities such as eating and drinking. _ My sister Farah began to suffer from dehydration and became a skeleton, for example, we have to eat vegetables or any available food. All the necessities we need are very expensive, in addition to the travel costs to complete treatment abroad. All these things need money. As you know, the price of flour reached $ 1000 in war

_ When I receive money from Toshina, there is a high commission on receiving the money because some banks are bombed and others are closed due to the war. The commission reaches 30%.

But as a ray of hope in the midst of this darkness, with your generous support and donations, you can save my life and the life of my sister Farah and my family by getting medical care abroad, because the necessary care and treatment is not available here in Gaza due to the circumstances we are witnessing.

No matter how small the donations are, they can make a big difference and have an impact in saving our lives, treating us and providing a secure future.

Please, I ask you not to back down from our urgent appeal that can save our lives and treat us.

Your support and donations can make a big difference in our lives. Let us unite to show the world the power of compassion and solidarity. Together, we can save my life, the lives of my sister Farah and my family, and create a secure future.

About the Manager of my Fundraiser:

I am Toshina Smith, an American activist from the USA. I manage and send the money received from fundraising for Seraj, Farah and their family. Seraj suffers from many diseases and poisoning as a result of what the occupation did to him when he was tortured, abducted and unlawfully arrested through displacement. Farah suffers from a chronic disease, and as a result of the war it has caused multiple complications. Life threatening complications. Seraj has not talked about his sister Farah’s illness to the public in order to preserve the psychological state of his sister, Farah and his family along with his parents personal wishes for privacy. Honestly Farah is dying slowly and Seraj, their parents and the rest of the family are all going through a very difficult situation. In addition to Farah and Seraj suffering from disease and illness Seraj’s father also suffers from heart disease. Which as you can imagine is only worse with the mweight of the world on his shoulders trying to keep his family as safe as possible during a genocide. I ask you to help them in anyway you can, donate, share and please always pray for them. It breaks my heart a million times over. However knowing this family, loving them as my own and being “part” of their family has inspired me forever and I will always be grateful for them and for truly changing my life. This is something I have witnessed over and over again from Palestinians, who are some of the greatest teachers of grace, integrity and human kindness I have ever met. May we all strive to be like them. Please Feel free to email through GoFundMe with any questions you may have or send me a message. Thank you for your time, love and support
