help me build a new life.

I come to you with a heavy heart and a plea for urgent help. My family was living an exemplary life and we were all actively pursuing our personal endeavors.

I am 19 years old. I went to university to fulfill my dream and become a computer engineer, but it had only been two weeks since I entered university that October 7th came, and within days of the tragedy, everything was destroyed in the blink of an eye.

My family consists of my father, mother, and five brothers

Minna is 16 years old, Diyala is 12 years old, Faten is 8 years old, and Malak is 3 years old.

‎

My father lost his job since the first day of the war, and he is the only breadwinner for us, and now he has been without work for nine months.

My mother suffers from a chronic illness and is unable to live in tents, and there are minimal medical needs for her.

Not only do they endure the ravages of war, but they also struggle with disease and weakness. Every day is a struggle for survival, with limited access to basic resources such as clean water, medical care, and food. They have all lost their education and are now without one. They are haunted by a constant fear of violence, making It increases their already heavy burdens.

We were building our future step by step, full of hope and love. However, everything changed on October 7th when tragedy struck, and within days, we had to flee our home with nothing but the clothes we were wearing. After our house was threatened with bombing, we took refuge in our relatives’ house. Then, on October 8, we received horrific news: our house in Gaza had been bombed and was completely destroyed.

We spent about 6 days with our relatives, every night listening to the sounds of explosions, seeing flames, and columns of smoke rising to the sky.

Then we were forced again to leave our place under the sounds of bombing and air strikes, and after that we returned to it and found it like this. We rented a house in “Al-Bureij” that was called a safe place to go to, where we stayed for two weeks, before we were forced for the third time to flee for our lives due to the occupation’s bombing. The Israeli army arrived at the building we live in, but this time without any warning or anywhere to go.

We headed to Rafah in the middle of the night, a night full of fear and terror, living in a tent and also suffering from the cold nights, lack of food and clean water, and endemic diseases due to poor sanitation and the high prices of very necessities.

9 months were filled with fear, evacuation, and the death of most of our family and friends

, destroying homes, losing hope, and demolishing any happy memories we have.

We never thought that our beautiful future would become a nightmare reality.

The purpose of the fundraising campaign

I am starting this fundraising campaign to evacuate my family through the Rafah/Egypt crossing, which currently requires £5,000 per person. This is our only chance to survive. I humbly ask for your help now more than ever.

Below is a comprehensive breakdown of expenses, provided that you are transparent and have a clear understanding.

Distribution of expenses

‎• Passport fees: £135 per person.

‎• Minimum living costs: £4,000 per month.

Rafah Crossing/Egypt: £5,000 per person.

The processing fee is 2.9% + £0.25 automatically deducted from each donation.

This adds up to a total of at least £4,000.

Conclusion:

I couldn't bear to see them suffer any longer. I am reaching out to you, good individuals, in the hope that you can help us raise the necessary funds to secure their escape from this war zone. Your generosity can be the lifeline that saves my family from further despair.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a big difference in their lives. Please, I implore you to open your hearts and contribute whatever you can to this urgent cause.

Together, we can give my family the opportunity they desperately need to find safety and refuge away from the horrors of war.

Thank you for your kindness and sympathy in advance.
