Restoring Life for Waseem’s Family: Rising Again

Hello, my name is Waseem Abusafi. I am 34 years old and live in Gaza. I am a dedicated father to a beautiful 3-year-old child named Qais. My wife, Amal Nabeel, is 27 years old.

Our family has poured our hearts and souls into building a better future for ourselves and our community. I have worked in accounting and managed accounts for several companies in Gaza City.

But tragedy struck when the war began. The recent conflict and damage to our residential area and infrastructure left us not only homeless and without means to support ourselves but also took the lives of my great-aunt and great-uncle, their spouses, their children, and their innocent grandchildren in an airstrike. It is a loss no family should have to endure.

While we were forced to evacuate Gaza City, our family found itself torn apart in a desperate search for safety. We have been forced to relocate multiple times, hoping to find refuge from the violence each time.

Our hearts are broken with grief, and we have witnessed death firsthand and endured unimaginable loss. Now, with our world turned upside down, we are clinging tightly to what little remains, determined to protect our child from further harm.

We humbly ask for your support to help us evacuate to safety in Egypt and rebuild a better life in the aftermath of this devastating tragedy.

Please note that travel costs to Egypt are very high, and coordinating entry through the border is $5000 per adult and $2500 per child. We cannot afford these exorbitant amounts.

Every contribution, no matter how large or small, will make a significant difference in helping us overcome this crisis and start anew. We will never forget your kindness and compassion during this difficult time.
