<div>​A Cry from Gaza: Rescue Ahmed's Family from the Edge of Survival
</div>
<div>​I am Ahmed, the Software Engineering student whose dreams have been violently turned into a nightmare.
</div>
<div>​Before October 2023, my family was a quiet poem in Gaza: My father, Iyad (an Education degree holder), my mother, Sumer (in Computing), and my older sister, Hala, who was just months away from finishing her English degree. We were professionals, dreamers, a normal family under one roof, filled with the laughter of my younger siblings: Karim, the high schooler, and Tia (Toto), the ten-year-old who knew nothing of childhood but running free and safe.
</div>
<div>​But that quietude was shattered.
</div>
<div>​Lost in the Labyrinth of Destruction
</div>
<div>​Today, all that remains of our home is ash and the memory of a wall.
</div>
<div>​Our house was destroyed, and we have been uprooted, not once, but multiple times. We move from tent to makeshift shelter, living amidst the constant roar of nearby explosions. Life has devolved into a bitter daily scramble for anything: a piece of bread, a sip of clean water, a corner untouched by shrapnel.
</div>
<div>​We have witnessed the unimaginable. We have lost loved ones, and others are injured with wounds that will never fully heal. In this inhumane hell, mere survival has become a costly luxury. Everything we manage to find, be it food or medicine, is sold at exorbitant prices, draining every resource we possess.
</div>
<div>​The Double Bind: A Previous Campaign on Hold
</div>
<div>​To make matters worse, our previous fundraising campaign was paused. The money that could have saved us is currently held, and we are unable to withdraw it! This places us on the brink of extreme danger; every dollar is a lifeline preventing a family's total collapse.
</div>
<div>​Our Only Shot at Survival: The $30,000 Bridge
</div>
<div>​We are not asking for extravagance; we are asking for salvation.
</div>
<div>​At this critical moment, our sole priority is to evacuate my family from this slow death. The cost to evacuate just one person from Gaza is $5,000 USD.
</div>
<div>​We are six members.
</div>
<div>​Our total immediate goal is $30,000.
</div>
<div>​We are in a desperate race against time to raise this amount before it is too late. This is not just money; it is an exit ticket for Ahmed and Hala to complete their education, for Karim and little Tia to have a chance at childhood, and for Iyad and Sumer to reunite their family in a place of safety.
</div>
<div>​Join Our Rescue Mission (Donate or Share)
</div>
<div>​Please, do not let our story end here.
</div>
<div>​Every contribution, no matter how small, is a step towards stopping this daily bleeding and reaching safety. We urgently need your support, not just for the evacuation, but for basic survival until the time comes to leave.
</div>
<div>​Communication is incredibly difficult for me; I have to walk long distances to find a connection, so please understand any delays in updates.
</div>
<div>​If you cannot donate, please become our lifeline. Share our story with your friends, family, and social media networks. Your voice is the only hope that will lead us to our goal.
</div>
<div>​Help us see a new dawn, far away from the cries of war.
