<div>Hello, my name is Lucie and I am based in East Anglia in the UK. I am raising funds for Alaa's family in Nuseirat, Gaza, a family of nine people trying to surviving in the midst of genocide. My friend Rachel originally knew the family as she has taught English online to one family member.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These are Alaa's words below:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Alaa. I live with my large family of nine people. We used to live in a small but warm house that held all our memories and our sense of safety.
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, the occupation forced us to leave it after our area was designated as one that must be evacuated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We left everything behind — the home we built brick by brick, the memories, and the sense of security — and started a new journey into the unknown.
</div>
<div>We moved to a new area, trying to adapt to the harsh conditions and the overwhelming challenges.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Life here is a daily struggle for survival.
</div>
<div>Everything has become so expensive, beyond what we could have ever imagined.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even the simplest things we used to take for granted have now become luxuries we cannot afford.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Flour — the most basic staple we rely on for baking our daily bread — now costs $20 per kilo.
</div>
<div>Sometimes we have to reduce how much bread we make, or stretch it with whatever else we can find, just to get by for one more day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sugar has reached an unimaginable $80 per kilo. Even a simple cup of sweetened tea feels like a far-off dream.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Firewood — which we rely on for cooking and warmth — has also become extremely scarce and expensive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Prices have soared so high that we now sometimes share a single piece of wood or scavenge for scraps of branches and broken planks to burn.
</div>
<div>Sometimes, we resort to burning paper or cardboard — anything that can give us a little heat to cook a small meal or boil water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The kerosene we use for cooking and sometimes for light at night now costs $28 per liter, an amount we simply can’t afford.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We often sit in total darkness when the last candle burns out, asking ourselves how we’ll make it through the next day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have to ration what little food we have, sometimes sharing one small meal among all of us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even the quality of the food we eat has become poor and cheap, just to avoid going completely hungry.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every day, I live with a constant sense of anxiety and tension.
</div>
<div>I wonder: how will we survive tomorrow?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I try to stay strong for my mother, father, and siblings, but the truth is, I feel so helpless.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I see the fear and worry on my family’s faces, and I wish I could provide for them. But the prices and the circumstances are beyond my control.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Life is no longer what it used to be.
</div>
<div>It’s filled with fear, deprivation, and uncertainty.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our days are heavy with worry, and our only hope is that someone will help us make it through this hardship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, from the bottom of my heart,
</div>
<div>I ask you to extend a helping hand to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations, no matter how small, could mean the difference between a new day filled with hunger and despair, or one with a glimmer of hope and dignity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and for listening.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>May God bless you with goodness and abundance.
</div>
