Hi, I’m Lina from France, organizing this fundraiser for my friend Deema, 20, in Gaza. All donations go directly to support her and her family.

My name is Deema, I am 20 years old, and I live in Gaza.

Before the war, I lived a life full of love and warmth with my family, in a home that held all our memories, laughter, and safety. I dreamed of a bright future, of studying, succeeding, and building a better life for myself and my family.

But the war destroyed everything…

It took our home, our memories, our dreams, and even our friends and relatives. It left us with constant fear and anxiety, wondering each day if we would survive.

Since the beginning of the war, we have been moving from place to place in search of shelter to protect our lives, fleeing from bombing and destruction. We face hunger, cold, and constant fear. All we hold onto now is a single hope: to live in peace and dignity.

I appeal to you from the bottom of my heart: help me protect my family, restore our sense of safety, and help us rebuild a life shattered by war.

Every donation, no matter how small, can save lives. Be our hope in this darkness, and be the hand that helps us rise again.

Thank you to everyone who hears the voice of Gaza and responds to my voice.

Deema
