Bring Hope to Sundus in Gaza

Hello,

My name is Sundus, an 18-year-old Palestinian girl from Gaza.

Before the war began, I was a high school student preparing for my final exams, studying with passion and dreaming of a bright future. I believed that, despite all the hardships around me, I could succeed — that a girl from Gaza could rise and achieve her goals. I used to write down my hopes in my notebooks and hang my dreams on the walls of my room.

But the war came suddenly and tore everything apart.

Our home was destroyed.

My room — my safe space — was reduced to rubble.

My notes were scattered.

And my dreams… silenced.

Since that day, life has stood still.

I haven’t moved forward except in pain, in displacement, in fear.

I now live with my family — six members: my mother, my sick father, and four sisters — moving from one place to another in search of safety.

We are a simple family that has endured hunger, exhaustion, and fear.

Once, we dreamed

To reclaim my right to a future, to a life with dignity, to a dream that was stolen.

I sincerely ask those with kind and compassionate hearts to help me.

A single gesture of support, a small donation, a word of encouragement — any of it can reignite the light in a path that was darkened by war.

Thank you for reading my story.
