Help Ayesh family

Hi my name is Shelley and I am fundraising on behalf of the Ayesh family. Here is their story

My family is suffering a complicated situation due to war and famine, and it has reached its highest level in these times. I would like to be able to help in any way. The situation is so horrible that no human being can bear it. The food shortage is slowly killing us ⚠️

My name is Mohammed Ayesh, and I am a Palestinian born in the Gaza Strip. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

After graduating from high school, I had the opportunity to travel to Turkey, fleeing the painful economic situation in my country. I worked hard, trying to build a future for myself and my family. Later, I attempted to move to the United Arab Emirates for a better opportunity. I found the people kind, but the language barrier my limited English was a major challenge that impacted my work and earnings severely. I was left struggling with a very low salary, and life became unbearable at such a young age. Eventually, I had no choice but to return to my country.

Four years passed in estrangement I was just 18 when I left, an age that should have been full of dreams and discovery. But when I returned to Gaza, I found myself facing the most difficult moment of my life.

Only a month and a half after my return, a brutal war broke out one of the most devastating in modern history. The media speaks of many details, but I will simply say this: it took away my present and my future. I became trapped in Gaza, unable to leave. I lost a scholarship that was my only hope of pursuing a career, and I lost everything I had worked for. Hope felt lost.

In addition to my own struggles, I carry the burden of my family’s situation.

I am currently studying Business Administration at Al-Azhar University in Gaza, striving to improve myself and help my family despite the ongoing war.

My elder sister is studying Arabic Language at Al-Quds Open University, and my younger sister is studying Social Work at the same university. We all share a deep belief in the power of education and the hope it brings.

My youngest brother, Yasser, suffers from severe hearing loss and has received a cochlear implant. He is now undergoing speech therapy sessions regularly, which require ongoing medical attention and financial support.

Despite everything, we continue to hold onto our dreams. We are trying to learn, grow, and survive. We believe that through education and kindness from people around the world, we can rise again.

Today, my only goal is to find even the smallest opportunity to live, learn, and help rebuild what has been broken. Any help or support you can offer would mean the world to me and my family.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to listen. My dream of continuing my career still lives on and I am determined to bring it back to life.
