A Journey from War Loss to New Beginnings

Hello, I’m Mohammed, and I’m doing this gofundme for my cousin who’d like to narrate her story to you as follows:

“My name is Sajida, I’m a working mother striving to provide the best for my family. I am a computer engineer, whose life was a beautiful canvas painted with dreams until tragedy struck. Let me take you through our story, a story of heartache, losses, and the hope for a new beginning.

A year ago, my husband Haitham and I finally achieved our lifelong dream – we owned our own apartment. It wasn't just a structure; it was our sanctuary, the culmination of 12 years of nonstop dedication and hard work. Our joy knew no bounds. Our two children, Mohammed, a spirited 4-year-old, and Tia, a curious 2-year-old, filled the house with laughter and warmth.

However, on that fateful October 8th 2023, our world was torn apart. We were abruptly asked to evacuate our home, leaving behind everything we held dear. Two agonizing hours later, our cherished haven was bombed. Our dreams, memories, and possessions were reduced to rubble, leaving us with only photographs and memories to cling to.

Since that devastating day, we've been living in a tent, grappling with the harsh reality of homelessness, scarcity of food, and access to clean water. The safety and stability we once enjoyed are now distant memories, replaced by the constant uncertainty of tomorrow.

However, amidst this whole tragedy, your support could make an immeasurable difference in our lives. Donations received will be allocated towards securing a new home—a place where my children can feel safe again, where we can rebuild our shattered dreams. The funds will cover essentials like rent, basic furnishings, and utilities to ensure that we can start anew.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will play a crucial role in transforming our journey from despair to a future filled with hope. Your kindness will not only help us rebuild our home but also restore our faith in humanity.

With your support, we can show my family that despite the darkness that has engulfed us, there is still light and kindness in the world. Together, we can turn the page to a new chapter, one filled with hope, love, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Thank you for being part of our story.

Warm Regards,

Sajida
