Support Raghad and her family leave from Gaza

Dear compassionate souls,

I am Raghad, reaching out to you from the heart of Gaza, a place that has become synonymous with resilience and strength in the face of unimaginable challenges. Our story is one of survival, loss, and an urgent plea for help.

For the past weeks, my family of 14 and I have been living in the shadows of fear and uncertainty as Gaza endures relentless and devastating bombardment. The once vibrant streets are now filled with echoes of pain, and our homes have become the frontline of a conflict that claims the lives of our family members, friends, and colleagues daily.

On October 7, our lives were shattered. The IDF called us to evacuate our homes in the Gaza Strip. In a desperate bid for survival, we packed what little belongings we had left and evacuated to another place, hoping against hope that the worst was over. Little did we know that this was only the beginning.

At the moment of the evacuation, our tears were running down, we said goodbye to the rooms of the house and every corner of it, crying looking at the house where I spent 22 years of my life, my father asked us to take pictures of the memory of our house from inside and outside because it may be our last time. We left and there's no news about our house yet. Was it completely destroyed? Is it still there? Nobody knows.

Now, as the situation escalates, we find ourselves facing an unthinkable choice: evacuate for the second time or risk becoming casualties of aggression. Each evacuation brings us face to face with the harsh reality that we might not survive the next bombing.

We suffer from hunger, fear and lack of medical and health capabilities. We have no access to electricity and the internet since the beginning of the Israeli aggression, not to mention the challenges we face as women in these circumstances.

We haven't drank in more than 60 days a clean drop of water and it gets worse with winter coming.

This is where we turn to you, our global community, with a plea for help and a glimmer of hope. We are initiating a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds that will allow us to leave the heart-wrenching aggression that has destroyed Gaza. Our goal is to secure the means to relocate to a safer place, far from the immediate dangers that surround us.

Your support means more than just financial assistance; it signifies solidarity, compassion, and a shared commitment to preserving human lives. Together, we can make a difference and offer my family a chance to rebuild our lives and our dreams

Every donation, no matter the size, will contribute to our journey to safety. Share our story, amplify our plea, and stand with us as we navigate through the darkest days of our lives.

Thank you for being a beacon of hope in our darkest hour.

With gratitude,

Raghad and the entire family from Gaza

Your help means everything to us, this is our family, and any donations contribute towards this immense cost (keep in mind they are asking 5-7k per person to leave Gaza as of right now). This is our family, this is our world.
