“My name is Ameed. I’m a lawyer from Gaza.

My family consists of 7 people, and my family and I live together in difficult living conditions. Before the war, I lived a modest life filled with ambition and hard work. I had a small law office where I helped people seek justice and stand up for their rights.

In an instant, I lost everything. My home, where I built my life, was reduced to rubble. My law office, which I had built with years of effort, was completely destroyed. I’m now without shelter, without work, and without any source of income.

My father suffered a severe injury, losing part of his hip. An internal metal plate was implanted, but it was later discovered that the hip replacement surgery was unsuccessful. This has forced us to appeal for him to travel abroad for better treatment, especially given his several chronic illnesses, including high blood pressure and three strokes. These conditions have left him with limited mobility on one side of his body and significant difficulty moving. We lack the necessary funds and resources for his treatment. We hope you will hear our plea and show us your compassion.

Today, I come to you not as a lawyer, but as a human being in need of support. I ask for your help to meet my basic needs and to rebuild my life, my future, and the law office that was not just my livelihood but my life’s mission.

Your donation is not just support for me — it’s an investment in restoring a voice for justice in Gaza. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who extends a helping hand during this difficult time.”
