I am Bader, 21 years old, from Gaza.

When I lost my father in this brutal war, the weight of responsibility fell on my shoulders. I became the one my family depends on to survive each day amid the chaos.

Life in Gaza is a constant struggle. Me and my family struggle just to afford the most basic necessities and essentials.

I carry a monitoring device in my chest that reminds me of my own fragility, yet I push forward, because my family cannot wait. Some days I return with supplies; some days with empty hands. Every day, I pray for the strength to endure.

Your support helps us survive — to afford life’s simplest essentials, to keep hope alive, and to face another day in a place where survival is never guaranteed

Your support his hope for us
