My name is Wesam, and I am creating this fundraiser on behalf of my childhood friend, Rabee. He asked me to share his story and his ongoing struggle for survival. “My name is Rabee. I was born and raised in Jabalia, a vibrant area in northern Gaza. Life was never easy, but I worked hard to build a future for myself and my family. Everything changed during the recent war. I lost my home, my closest friends, and the dreams I had been building for years. Since the war, my family of nine—my elderly parents, younger siblings, and nieces and nephews—has been living in tents far from our home. The displacement has been devastating. Prices for even the most basic necessities have skyrocketed, and resources like food, clean water, and medical care are almost impossible to find. We are trying to survive in conditions that no one should ever experience. Despite everything, I am determined to protect my family and give them hope. But I cannot do it alone. I need your help. Your support can help us secure food, safe shelter, and essential supplies to rebuild our lives. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. It is not just about survival—it is about showing that even in the darkest times, humanity and compassion can shine through. Please, stand with us and help us overcome this crisis. Together, we can restore hope and rebuild what was lost.”
