Help Dr. Hamza and his family from Gaza

My name is Kate Gordon, I live in Richmond, Virginia, and I am raising funds for my dear friend, Dr. Hamza Alsharif, an anesthesiologist and ICU doctor at European Gaza Hospital. I will be transferring the funds to him directly from my bank account. The funds will be used for him and his family members, who are in dire need of support for food, shelter, medical treatment, and basic living expenses. Below are his words.

Help & prayers needed.

To whom it may concern… I hope this letter finds you well.

We appreciate any kind of help.

We’re not normally the ones to ask, and even find ourselves in this situation with no help. it seems to be difficult. Thank you for all the support and help.

My name is Hamza Alsharif, an anesthesiologist and ICU doctor at European Gaza Hospital. After almost 2 year of the brutal genocide on the citizens of Gaza I have lost my house and lost all my savings, but worse of all, my family are displaced far away from me, they are sick. The health system has collapsed and we need to get out of Gaza. Everyday our situation is getting worse. I am a palestinian young man who seeks any opportunity to get his right to live like any other human in this world.

To chase my dreams that I unfortunately did not get to, in my city, due to the War. After utterly suffering. I tried to get ready to travel and start a brand new life that could fulfill my dreams. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened, no one in this world, not any person would expect a war to start over. The trauma I and my family went through is inexplicable and I have no idea how to even start to process it at all. This war was very cruel and vicious, it almost destroyed all our dreams. I was unable to proceed chasing my dreams, as I got stuck in gaza displaced with no ability to get food and pay rent. Sadly I can’t even afford plane tickets to travel!! I didn’t realize I would get stuck in the country for more than whole year, which made it harder and harder for me.

I hardly got the chance to escape from the deadly war zone. I am now hopelessly stuck in the city not knowing what to do, it’s my story and I need urgent help.

Now the focus is on grieving and getting help to work through the 15 months that I spent desperately trying to figure out how to continue my studies and proceed with living my live. I have no idea what this looks like but I do know that I and, my family need a lot of support.

We need help.
