Support Siraj's Family in Rebuilding Their Home

hi, my name is ahmad and I'm raising a fund for my cousin Siraj and this is his message ..

Building our house was not easy. It took over ten years of tireless effort, long hours each day, and the accumulation of debt. But it was our home, a place filled with love and dreams for the future.

At the beginning of the ground war on the Gaza Strip, our area was engulfed in fire and random shelling, which led to our beloved home being hit and destroyed. After that, we were forced to move six times, seeking refuge in places unfit for living, where we faced constant threats, evacuation orders, and danger both day and night.

Today, we find ourselves living in a poor tent on the street, surrounded by others in similar conditions. These tents lack the basic necessities of life, and epidemics and infectious diseases are widespread.

My children have lost their childhoods among these makeshift shelters. They don’t know how to play or learn. Instead, they help with hard tasks like fetching drinking water from long distances, cleaning around the tent, and much more. They deserve better.

Our dream is simple: to return to our life before this brutal war, to rebuild our beautiful home, to educate our children, and to provide them with safety and stability. This is our ultimate hope.

With your support, we can transform our story from one of pain to one of hope. You have the power to alleviate my family’s suffering, to stand by us, and to support us in rebuilding our lives.

The stages of our house being bombed

The struggle to obtain drinking water – we walk long distances, and sometimes we cannot go due to the danger of bombing.

Our current living situation (in tents): It is a small, very hot tent, lacking the minimum basic necessities for life, and where dangerous diseases and epidemics are widespread.

Total cost:

- Construction: $40,000 USD

- Finishing: $20,000 USD

- **Total: $60,000** USD

Your generosity can help us rebuild our home and our lives. Thank you for your compassion and support.
