HELP MY FAMILY LEAVE GAZA TO GERMANY
Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,
I am writing to you with an aching heart and a plea for help. I need to raise $45,000 in the next 3 weeks in order to provide needed legal assistance to 30 family members who are desperate to get out of Gaza. You can donate HERE, and I want to share a little more about what we are going through as a family, as a community, and as a people. For the past 20 months, my family in Gaza has endured unimaginable hardships. The relentless violence, scarcity of basic necessities, and constant threat to their lives have created a living nightmare. Each day, they navigate fear and uncertainty, longing for the safety and hope that should be a basic human right. As I sit here in Germany, my heart is heavy with the knowledge that my parents, siblings, nephews, and nieces—30 beloved family members—are trapped in this bleak reality. I am determined to bring them to safety and am taking immediate action to file a legal case for humanitarian visas to facilitate their escape. However, the legal process is complex and costly, requiring resources that we cannot gather alone.Your generosity today can help secure a safe passage for my family, allowing them to leave behind the horrors they have faced for so long. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal, and is so deeply meaningful to me and my loved ones who you will help get to safety. Please also share this message with your friends and family; your voice can amplify our plea for help and reach those who may be willing to stand with us in this crucial time. Again, you can make your donation at (insert link here). Your kindness and compassion can make all the difference in the world for my family as they seek refuge and a chance at a new beginning. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and generosity.
With hope and gratitude,
Nidal Bulbul


اخواتي واخوتي احرار هذا العالم
يؤسفني ان اتوجه اليكن/م في هذه الاوقات العصيبة والهجمة الشرسة التي يواجهها اهلنا واحبابنا في قطاع غزة
اسمي نضال بلبل، كنت اعمل صحفيا في قطاع غزة لتغطية معاناة ابناء شعبنا حين تعرضت للاصابة خلال اجتياح مخيم البريج في قطاع غزة - مما ادي الي بتر قدمي اليمني من فوق الركبة. استطعت بعدها السفر الي المانيا لاكمال العلاج ومساعدة أسرتي. فقمت بمساعدة أهلي في بناء بيت آمن يجمع أخواتي وإخوتي و أطفالهم وجدتي.
قام الاحتلال الاسرائيلي بعد السابع من أكتوبر ٢٠٢٣ بتدمير بيت أسرتي المكون من ٣ طوابق والذي كان بمثابة المكان الامن والذي جمع بيت جدرانه كل ذكرياتهم وأحلامهم.
تكبد والدي متاعب الحياة منذ بداية عام ٢٠٠٥ لبناء هذا البيت ليجمع الأسرة تحت سقف واحد.
مازال جميع أفراد أسرتي تحت وهل الصدمة من الدمار الذي حل بهم وبأغلبية سكان قطاع غزة، فجميعنا يدرك المعني المعنوي الذي يوفره البيت من شعور بالامن والاستقرار.
اضطرت الأسرة إلي النزوح تحت سطوة آلة القتل الإسرائيلية والتهديدات التي دفعتهم إلي اللجوء لمكان آمن حتي انتهاء العدوان.
معادلة الحزن الهرمية التي تجعلنا نحمد الله علي مصابنا وعلي سلامة أفراد أسرتي مقارنة بمصاب عائلات أخري ما زالت تقبع أجسادها تحت أنقاض منازلهم. أدعو الله كل لحظة أن يحفظ حياة أهلي وأطفالهم ومن تبقي من سكان القطاع حتي انتهاء هذا العدوان الغاشم الذي لم يرحم لا إنسان و لا بيت ولا مدرسة ولا مستشفي من سطوته.
أتوجه إليكم اليوم ومن وازع إنساني بحت حيث كان هدف هذا التبرع لمساعدتي في إعادة بناء بيت لأسرتي وأطفالهم ولكن لم يتبقى في غزة ما يصلح للعيش واصبح انقاذهم من براثن الموت هو الاولوية القصوي ومع استمرار الحرب ليس أمامي إلا توجيه حملة هذه التبرعات لضمان إنقاذ أسرتي للسفر خارج غزة
ما حدث ويحدث لأسرتي وأبناء شعبي في غزة لا يحتمله العقل البشري - سأبذل كل جهدي لإنقاذ من تبقى من أفراد أسرتي في القريب العاجل وأملي أن تنتهي هذه الحرب ولا يفجعني الله في أهلي.
دمتم بسلام وأمان
عائلة نضال بلبل

Rebuilding Our Home: Help Us Restore Our Lives
Dear friends, family, and compassionate human all over the Globe,
I'm really sorry to rech out to you with the devastating situation which my family is facing.
My name is Nidal Bulbul, I worked as a news Journalist covering the suffer of my own people in Gaza until December 2007 where during an Israeli raid to (Al-Buraij Refugee Camp in Gaza), our car was hit which led to the amputation my right leg above the knee. I managed to travel to Germany for treatment and to start a new life and have been supporting my family in Gaza since. I helped my father to continue building a home for my siblings, nephews and nieces.
Since the onset of the recent conflict, I have maintained close contact with my family, who have endured unimaginable horrors that are challenging for anyone outside Gaza to comprehend. In November, a neighbouring house was bombed, causing extensive damage to our family home. The top floor was completely burned, and several family members sustained injuries that required hospitalization. My 22-year-old cousin was killed leaving his wife and kids behind. I am reaching out to you today with heavy hearts and a plea for help. This home, which we started building in 2005, held countless memories, cherished moments, and the essence of our family's unity.


The destruction caused by this devastating event has left us in a state of shock and despair. Not only have we lost our physical shelter, but we have also lost the sense of security, stability and safty that a home provides.
Following this incident, my family made the difficult decision to relocate to my uncle house, specifically to an area called El Sheich Redwan. Unfortunately, this area was later invaded by Israeli tanks, resulting in indiscriminate shooting and carpet bombing by both aircraft and ground forces. After a terrifying night, my family decided to seek refuge in Khan Younes, enduring harsh conditions in the open yard amidst cold and rain.


I pray every single day that this madness and horror will stop soon and they will stay alive
I am turning to you, our extended family, friends, and kind-hearted individuals, to help us rebuild our home and restore our lives. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly towards the construction of a new home for our family. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant impact and bring us one step closer to rebuilding what was taken from us.
I understand that times are tough for everyone, and I genuinely appreciate any support you can provide. Your generosity will not only help us regain a safe space to call home but also provide us with a renewed sense of hope and resilience.
***I will be going to Gaza as soon the borders are open to step in and help my family re-building our home. I will be sharing photos and posts on social media of that Journey.***
I humbly request your support in collecting donations to rebuild my family's home in Gaza. The funds will go towards reconstructing the damaged structure, providing essential amenities, and aiding in the recovery of my family, who have endured immense suffering. Your generosity will make a significant difference in helping my family rebuild their lives after these harrowing experiences, with a special focus on the vulnerable children who have endured profound trauma.Please consider sharing the campaign with your networks. Together, we can make a difference and help my family rebuild their lives.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, compassion, and support during this challenging time. ❤️
With gratitude,
Nidal's Bulbul Family
