Save My beloved family: Urgent Gaza Evacuation

Hi Everyone, I'm Rawan, a mother of three daughters, and I am reaching out to you in desperation as our lives hang in the balance amidst the ongoing genocide in Gaza Strip. Our home, along with our sources of income, has been destroyed, leaving us vulnerable and uncertain about our future. With every passing moment, the threat to our lives grows, and the safety of my precious girls becomes more uncertain.Having exhausted all the options and solutions available, this appears to be the only path left to rescue my family and evacuate Gaza to safety.

In December, my youngest daughter turned one. It should have been a day of joy, but instead, we spent it comforting her from the frightening sounds of bombs and scrambling to find her essentials like milk, food, clothes, and medicine. My two older girls were full of energy and hope, they were excited about going to university soon. One loves playing guitar, getting ready for high school and dreaming of studying medicine, while the other, who plays piano, was set to study computer engineering. They had big plans and dreams, but everything has changed now, and uncertainty looms over their future.

Since October 7th, our world has been torn apart. We've lost our only family home and have been displaced multiple times across Gaza Strip, seeking refuge from relentless bombings that have left our homes in ruins. Each time we thought we found safety, the violence followed, destroying everything in its path.

From fleeing from my threatened home to my parents' ( both were bombed and destroyed) , to seeking shelter in overcrowded conditions in Rafah, we've endured unimaginable hardship. With over a million Gazans seeking refuge in this cramped city, resources are scarce, and the situation worsens by the day.

As Israeli threats towards Rafah escalate, the fear in my heart grows for my daughters' safety. I cannot bear the thought of them facing life-threatening situations. They have seen too much already. One of my daughters once confided in me, "Each night, I grapple with two thoughts haunting me: Will this be our last day in this world, or will we survive to endure another day of suffering?"

Evacuation has become our only hope for survival, and the only viable route is through the Egyptian border at Rafah. However, access is severely restricted, and the fees are exorbitant. That's why I've started this GoFundMe—to help my family pay for evacuation.

The funds will primarily cover coordination fees for the evacuation of my family (5 persons), the substantial fee per person is from 8000 to 10000 USD and subjected to increase with the escalating threats towards Rafah.

Any remaining amount (if any) will be used for necessities, supplies, and travel logistics.

Your kindness and compassion mean everything to us. Your support is our lifeline. Please share this with anyone who might be able to assist in any way.

My family and I Thank you from the bottom of our heart.

Rawan
