Hello, my name is Tracy. I currently live in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania in the Pocono area. I met Aline online thru X about 2 to 3 years ago. Unfortunately, after the war began, she, her husband and children (like most Palestinians) lost everything they have. Since then, they have been subjected to destruction of their property, extreme poverty, multiple forced displacements, skyrocketing food prices, forced starvation and violence. I am trying to help her and her family survive. Please read her story and donate. Give anything you can. Money collected through PayPal will be forwarded to her daily. Please. This is the only way many Palestinians have to survive and thank you for your compassion.
"I am Aline, I am 28 years old. I live in Gaza. My husband, my young children, and I have been suffering for two years from a harsh, tragic life due to the brutal war we are exposed to. Our house was bombed and my husband’s office was bombed. As a result, we lost our place of residence and became homeless. My husband lost his job and his source of income. We were displaced at that time to temporary asylum centers, and we suffered the most severe suffering there, as there was no food, clean drinking water, blankets, or bedding. We suffered from hunger, cold, pain, and diseases due to the lack of food, water pollution, and the lack of the minimum basic necessities of life.
We stayed in these centers for 3 months, and then after these... The centers were bombed. We almost lost our lives, and we left terrified, frightened, and displaced again. We went out to the streets, and I, my children, my husband, and my family were displaced. We lived a very harsh and difficult life, a life of suffering in every sense of the word. We had no choice but to live in a tent, a bitter life that lacked everything, and we were exposed to extreme heat in the summer. And the extreme cold in the winter, without bedding, blankets, or the slightest basic needs.
Then we were given evacuation orders, forcing us to move a third time. We incurred the trouble of moving on foot over long distances. This caused us pain from which we are still suffering. We lost our money, our needs, and our possessions. The war has destroyed my dreams, the dreams of my children, and our ambitions. My memories and the memories of my family have been lost in our destroyed home.
We are now suffering from psychological disturbances, pain, and health ailments. We suffer from hunger, lack of food, the lack of medicines to treat the diseases we were afflicted with, and the lack of the most basic necessities of life. I am trying hard to protect my family and children from death due to hunger, or death due to lack of medicine, or due to bombing, so that I can evacuate them from Gaza and have them travel abroad to one of the countries of the world and live there in safety and with a decent life.
And this is my message to the world: “Help me and be of assistance to me, as I am trying to save my family from death due to hunger or due to bombing and war. We are all exposed to a cruel war and a severe siege imposed on Gaza a year ago. During this period we were subjected to intense air, sea and ground bombardment, which led to the death of thousands and the destruction of infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and kindergartens, which led to the displacement of thousands of children, women, and the elderly.
I, my family, and my young children were not spared this suffering, as I lost my loved ones and friends, and my husband lost his source of income. My dreams and ambitions were destroyed, my home was destroyed, my memories were lost, and they left me wandering with my family in temporary shelters. Then In the streets, without shelter, I am suffering and struggling to preserve my life and the life of my family and to provide the basic needs of food, clean water, and bread."
The war has left deep wounds on me and my children’s souls, and we suffer from pain and psychological disorders, and my weight and my children’s weight have decreased dramatically. Help me and my family and my children to get out of this harsh suffering and our support to obtain a decent life free of fear, destruction, displacement, siege, pain and pain. Help us and relieve us of this suffering. We look forward to your donations to overcome this suffering and provide a decent life until we leave Gaza and travel abroad. Donate to us. Every contribution you make, even if it is small, may make a big difference
Please give what you can, if only $5. And please, please share with your friends and family, and on social media, to help my fundraiser reach more potential donors.
