My name is Abdul Rahman Al-Mughanni, and I'm reaching out to you for assistance in a time of urgent need. My father is an electrical engineer employed at a private electrical systems company, in Gaza. However, I am a son, a brother, and a grandson, deeply concerned for the safety and well-being of my family amidst the harrowing circumstances of the Gaza war.

Our Situation:

My family consists of eight members (My parents, with 6 kids), alongside my grandmother (my grandfather passed away a few months ago), making us a total of 9 individuals seeking refuge from the deadliest war zone on earth - Gaza. Our journey through this conflict has been one of constant displacement and fear. Initially residing in a two-story house in Al-Shuja'iya, east of Gaza, we were forced to flee to Tal Al-Hawa as the war escalated. Subsequently, we found ourselves displaced once more, this time to Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, where we endured fifty days of uncertainty before relocating to Rafah, where we currently reside.

Unfortunately, even in Rafah, safety remains elusive as threats of invasion loom overhead. Our daily existence is fraught with peril as we navigate through queues for basic necessities like drinking water, amidst the backdrop of frequent bombings.

Our Journey:

Our resilience has been tested time and again. We found shelter in an abandoned house with a tin roof in Khan Yunis, repairing it as best we could to make it habitable. However, our respite was short-lived, as the house was eventually bombed, compelling us to seek refuge once more. We wandered the streets of Rafah, desperately seeking shelter, only to receive heartbreaking news of the destruction of our home in Shujaiya.

Your Support Matters:

Your support and generosity hold the power to change our fate. By extending a helping hand, you are not just aiding our family, but potentially saving lives from the grips of certain death. As it is said in the Holy Book, "Whoever saves a life, saves all mankind."

Campaign Objective:

Since our primary goal was to leave Gaza and the Rafah Crossing - the only gate in Gaza - was blocked, the new goal of the compain has to changed. The funds raised will primarily cover the necessary expenses for rebuilding our destroyed house in additionto living a life of dignity and honor. The compound includes the apartment of my parents, my brother, and myself. With nine members in our family, this cost is substantial.

Conclusion:

Thank you for considering our plea and for standing in solidarity with us during this challenging time. Your contribution, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to safety and peace. I am committed to providing regular updates on our journey, ensuring transparency and accountability every step of the way.

With heartfelt gratitude,

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

اسمي عبد الرحمن محمد صقر المغني

عدد افراد اسرتي 8 بالإضافة إلى جدتي الكبيرة في السن يعني المجموع هو 9.

كنت اسكن في منزل طابقين في الشجاعية شرق غزة حين كنا نعيش حياة بسيطة عادية مع أفراد العائلة والأصدقاء بصحبة كتاب الله.

(توفي جدّي قبل عدة أسابيع فقط ودفنّاه بعيدا عن منزله المدمر، في جنوب غزة)

و مع بداية الحرب نزحنا الى تل الهوى غرب غزة و بعد اسبوع نزحنا الى خانيونس جنوب قطاع غزة و بعد خمسين يوم نزحنا الى رفح الى اليوم . و ها نحن نبحث عن مكان امن بسبب التهديدات باجتياح رفح.

عندما نزحنا من غزة الى خانيونس و بقينا في الشارع نبحث عن مأوى عثرنا على بيت مهجور له سقف زينقو وسكنّا فيه لمدة بعد ان أصلحنا السقف. جدول أعمالنا اليومية تشمل الوقوف طوابير و معاناة في الحصول على ماء الشرب مع القصف المتكرر حولنا.بعد ذلك تعرض البيت لقصف و نجونا بأعجوبة و نزحنا الى رفح. جلسنا في شوارع رفح نبحث عن مأوى وفي الأثناء وصلنا خبر قصف بيتنا في الشجاعية.

أنا وعائلتي وأخوتي نثمن جدا دعمكم ومساعدتكم. أنتم بهذا تنقذون أرواحاً من الموت المحقق. ومن أحيا نفساً كم أحيا الناس جميعا.

المبلغ الذي سيتم جمعه سوف يتم دفعه بالأساس لإعادة بناء منزلنا التي تدمر جراء الحرب بالإضافة إلى مصاريف وتكاليف حياة كريمة في خضم هذه الأوقات الصعبة جدا. ونحن أسرة تتكون من 9 أفراد.

شكرا جزيلا لكم. سوف أبقيكم على الاطلاع أولا بأول.
