Help me save my family's lives and live outside Gaza safely

Hi, I am Kholoud Abdalhadi from Gaza Strip, Palestine, I am a wife and mother of “Ayla”. By the way, how beautiful my daughter is. I am doing this campaign in an attempt to save my family's lives, live outside Gaza safely, rebuild my life that was destroyed by the war on Gaza, and build a good future for my daughter who is not to blame for everything that happened.

During the war, my daughter got sick more than once due to lack of milk and malnutrition and I could not find a cure for her.

 

All that exists here are diseases and contagions that spread to kill children without any treatment.

My daughter, deserves to live in peace and safety, free from the traumas of conflict. Her right to a happy and secure childhood should be a universal priority. 

Last April, I lost my older brother in an Israeli airstrike. He struggled with death in the hospital for a month until he died. He was my soul brother and my favorite person. His death made me cling to life even more. I don’t want my parents lose another person.

Also, I lost my beloved grandfather, and two of my cousins. In same time, my husband lost two of his older brothers. 

We evacuated from the north to the south, becoming homeless and evacuating more than 5 times. Our house was bombed, later it was completely leveled to the ground.

After spending days on the street, we are now living in a tent, and we do not have anywhere to live.

There is no electricity, connection, or fuel well as lack of access to clean water and food, which has resulted in a number of diseases. The hospitals are overwhelmed and there are no spaces available. 

Death, destruction, and the smell of blood are everywhere around us, our homes and dreams have been crushed, we have been displaced, humiliated, starved, and abandoned. Our lives are actively threatened daily and now. 

My husband and I are highly educated individuals from diverse professional backgrounds: my husband is a department manager and I am an administrative employee. 

Adding to the turmoil, my husband and I have lost our jobs due to the destruction, leaving us without any means to support ourselves. Each day brings to us the threat of death and starvation, with no safe haven in sight. 

Any donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference to the safety of my family. 

Please, help me reach my goal and provide safety for my family by sharing this campaign. 

Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your kindness and support, as well as your willingness to stand with us in support.
