<div><strong>Dear Friends,</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>I know you've likely come across countless campaigns and may feel overwhelmed by the many stories of need. But I hold on to the hope that you might find it in your heart to help me.</strong> My name is <strong>Samir Fuad.</strong> I’m 33 years old — a father, a former English language teacher, and once a proud small business owner from Gaza.
</div>
<div>Before the war, I lived a stable, dignified life. I had my own beautiful home, my own car, a growing company selling nutritional supplements, and a respected teaching position at UNRWA schools. I worked hard to build a future for my children — a future filled with education, opportunity, and comfort. But in an instant, that life was shattered.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The war took everything: my house, my business, my school, and my sense of normalcy. Now, we live in a tent in a refugee camp, surrounded by devastation. I no longer spend my days teaching or managing my company — I spend them searching for clean drinking water and any food I can find to keep my children alive.
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78936647_1717083215217088_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div>This campaign began as an urgent plea to save the life of my 3-year-old son, Yousef, who suffers from a severe and rare liver condition called<strong> grade VI esophageal varices</strong>, caused by a clot in his portal vein. His condition is extremely dangerous — it causes him to suddenly vomit large amounts of blood, and every episode brings him closer to death. He was scheduled for surgery, but it was canceled due to the war.
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78936647_1717083617424257_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The danger looms as long as the clot remains, blocking the vein and worsening his condition. Yousef must undergo a specialized surgery to remove the clot and address the esophageal varices. This surgery is the only way to save his life and prevent the recurring risk of fatal bleeding.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="78936647_1717782647428230_r.jpg" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78936647_1717782647428230_r.jpg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Yousef’s fragile body cannot survive this much longer.</strong>
</div>
<div>Every night, I lie awake next to my children, listening to their stomachs growl from hunger. My 1-month-old baby cries for milk we can’t find. We walk miles in the burning sun, hoping for a few liters of clean water. The fear of losing a child — to hunger, to sickness, to war — never leaves my heart. I used to protect my family with my job and my strength. Now I am begging the world to help me do what I no longer can on my own.
</div>
<div>I’m attaching several photos that tell our story more clearly than words ever could:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Me in my office before the war, and the same company in ruins after being bombed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A moment of pride — me being honored as a distinguished English teacher — and the same school reduced to rubble.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Me carrying Yousef inside our home, and now, carrying him again inside a hot, crowded tent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our beautiful home — once a symbol of peace — now just a pile of rubble.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78936647_1718463778101964_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve launched this campaign to raise enough funds to evacuate Yousef to Egypt for surgery and to cover our most basic needs: medical tests, medication, and enough food and shelter to survive
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We've created a picture with a QR code leading to Yousef’s campaign. Please share it on your stories, send it to your friends on WhatsApp, and spread it wherever you can. and spread it wherever you can.
