Urgent Appeal: Help Us Escape War in Gaza and Save
Donation protected
Hello,
"I'm Momen's cousin, and I'm managing this campaign on his behalf. Momen, who is a resident of Gaza, is facing difficult circumstances due to the ongoing war. He wants to convey a heartfelt message to you."
I'm Momen, and I'm reaching out because my family is in desperate need of your help. My wife, Sara, I, and our son Omar are facing an unimaginable nightmare here in Gaza. I work as a computer engineer, and Sara is a dentist. Just a year ago, we were filled with joy, having finally secured our own home. Sara, with her work, was striving to spread smiles and happiness. Now, that home is gone, destroyed by the war in Gaza. This is our last chance to escape and ensure the safety of our family, including our unborn baby girl. Can you lend us a hand?
Our dreams were shattered when bombs fell and destroyed everything we had worked so hard for.
Now, Sara is eight months pregnant with our baby girl, and the fear is overwhelming. With no access to medical care or support, every day is a battle for survival. Our hearts ache with the knowledge that this may be our last chance to keep our family alive.
For over 160 days now, we've been living in fear, uncertainty, and despair. The war has not only robbed us of our dreams and livelihoods but also our sense of security, and laughter, The basic necessities of life have become luxuries beyond our reach. We cannot secure food, water, or even basic supplies to sustain ourselves. What's worse is that there are no medical services available to us. Leaving Gaza seems like an impossible dream, with exorbitant costs and logistical challenges due to the ongoing conflict.
In a desperate attempt to find safety, the path to safety has been fraught with danger. From fleeing Gaza to Khan Younis, then navigating through airstrikes and shootings to reach Rafah, it's nothing short of a miracle that we're still alive. Our two-year-old son, Omar, deserves a childhood free from the horrors of war, but we can't shield him from the constant threat.
As a software engineer in Gaza, my work has been heavily impacted by the ongoing conflict. With unreliable electricity and internet, my workspace, once a hub of productivity, now lies in ruins. Despite these challenges, I'm determined to provide for my family. Your support can help us secure a safer future.
Our son, Omar, is just two years old, yet he has already seen more fear and destruction than any child should. We long to give him the childhood he deserves, free from the constant threat of violence.
Sara's pregnancy should be a time of joy and anticipation. Instead, it's filled with worry and fear. We had hoped to welcome our baby girl into the world in the safety and peace of our own home. Imagine the happiness of our beloved son, Omar, becoming a big brother. Now, that dream feels like a distant memory.
Omar was born at Al-Karama Hospital, a place we trusted for the birth of our new baby girl. However, the hospital, like many others, lies in ruins due to the bombings. Our dream of welcoming our daughter into a safe world has been shattered.
We need to escape Gaza, and we need to do it now. But we can't do it alone. Egyptian authorities require $5000 for each adult and $2500 for each child to cross through the Rafah border crossing. In addition, we need $500 to expedite our travel and $1500 for urgent expenses. Altogether, we need $14,500 to make it happen.
I'd like to make it clear that my cousin will be facilitating the transfer of the funds to me
This is our last chance to keep our family safe and ensure the safe arrival of our baby girl. Can you help us? Your support could mean the difference between life and death for us. Please consider donating and sharing our story. Let's show the world that even in the darkest of times, there is still hope. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
With hope and gratitude,
Momen and Sara
