Support Nesma's Family's Journey to Safety

Dear compassionate souls, I come with a heavy heart to share the story of a young woman whose life and dreams were shattered by the war in Ga za. I am Nesma, 21, from Ga za where I live with my mother, father, brother, and sister-in-law.

Our home, which contained my own small clothing design studio, was destroyed by warplanes and our previous lives are now in ruins. We were displaced to the central area of ​​Deir al-Balah, where there is no space for us. We cannot sleep due to fear and anxiety and the scent of death is always in the air. We have been deprived of the basic necessities of life and struggle in difficult conditions. There is no water, electricity, medicine, or life support.

The only way out of Ga za is through the Egyptian border. In order to leave, each individual must pay $5,000 per person.

My family is five people: my 48-year-old mother Majdoline, my 57-year-old father Arafat, my 29-year-old brother Yasser and his 29-year-old wife Amani, and myself. We are a family who love each other and I can't bear to lose any of them.

I have initiated this GoFundMe campaign to raise $35,000:

$25,000 for permits and crossing fees to Egypt for 5 people and

$10,000 for 6 months rent in Egypt and covering for daily expenses.

I am collecting money to save my family from Ga za. I wish we had the money to get ourselves out but the amount is too large for us.

Our hope in life diminishes every day, but our glimmer of light is the possibility of escape and finding safety in a world free of the horrors of war. With your support, we have the opportunity to rebuild our lives beyond Israel’s genocide. Your donations will give us access to education, employment, and healthcare. Anything you can offer is a step for us toward a brighter future and a testament to the power of compassion and humanity. Please donate and share our story far and wide to help us fulfill our dreams beyond this war and the occupation. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and commitment to making a difference in the lives of people who need it most. With sincere gratitude.
