Help Me & My Family Get Out of Gaza

Hi, I'm Haya Darwish, 20 years old.

Being the eldest in my family came with lots of taxes to pay off. I always tried to help my family, studied hard enough to attain a scholarship at uni and made them proud. However this is no longer the case since the war started. We have been forced to leave our house many times and lived in the gardens of hospitals for days with no clean water and even a roof to cover us. My father, who is a talented & experienced carpenter, lost his job during the war in other words we lost our main source of income. To make things worst, the northern part of Gaza is being starved, flour is as rare as gold and I can't bear witnessing my six-year-old-brother suffering from lack of nutritions.

I feel guilty for not being able to help, my resposibilty as the eldest has pushed me to decide leaving. I want to find a way to take my family to safe place, where we don't worry about food and water. This is an urgent call to help me support my family and keep them alive. Living in Gaza is a miracle with all the danger included, but leaving it is the real miracle I'm wishing.

Please don't let Gaza be the cemetery of our dreams and hopes, yet let it be the end of the misery and frustration.

Your donations would help us cross the borders and start again from scratch building a new life, a life with no war and starvation. Together we make things happen, together we survive.
