Support a Family's Journey to Safety and Peace
Donation protected
My name is Jaber AlHaj, a graduate with honors in Applied Chemistry. I currently reside in Kuwait, but my heart and thoughts are constantly with my family, who remain in Gaza amidst the ongoing war and devastation. My wife, Muna, and our 2-year-old son, Hashem, live under the constant threat of violence and uncertainty. Every day, I worry about their safety and well-being, and my greatest wish is to bring them to Kuwait, where they can find peace, security, and a fresh start.
After graduating, I turned my passion for chemistry into action by starting a small business in Gaza with my brother, Aboud. Together, we established a small lab for manufacturing essential household cleaning products. We began with the most basic resources, tirelessly conducting experiments to perfect our formulas. Over time, this modest project evolved into a stable source of income that supported not only myself but also my brother and our family.
We dreamed of expanding our business further, creating more job opportunities, and making a difference in our community. But all of our aspirations were cut short. The relentless bombardment and airstrikes on Gaza destroyed everything we worked so hard to build. Our lab and equipment were reduced to rubble, and the future we envisioned disappeared overnight.
The war didn’t just take away our business; it also separated me from my family. It has been over a year since I’ve seen my wife and child in person. Unable to travel back to Gaza, I feel helpless being so far away from them during these difficult times. Despite all my efforts, it has been equally challenging to bring them to Kuwait, where I could offer them the safety and stability they so desperately need.
The Goal of This Campaign
I have set a goal to raise $29,000 to help me:
- Bring My Family to Safety: Secure the necessary funds to relocate my wife, Muna, and our son, Hashem, from Gaza to Kuwait. This would mean everything to me—to finally reunite with them and ensure their well-being, far away from the horrors of war.
- Rebuild Our Business and Dream: Reestablish our lab and business in Gaza alongside my brother, Aboud. With these funds, we can purchase equipment, secure a new location, and restart production. This would give us a chance to rebuild our lives and restore the hope that was lost.
Your support will not only help me reunite with my family and provide them with a better, safer life but will also enable us to rebuild a business that once sustained us and gave us purpose. Every contribution, no matter how small, will bring us one step closer to achieving these two crucial goals.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for standing with us during this challenging time.
Warm regards,
