Hello, my name is Calvin from the USA, and I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Ensherah Al-Saadi in Gaza, a friend whom I've come to know over the past two months through my involvement in fundraising efforts for people affected by the ongoing war.

As GoFundMe requires a western bank account, Ensherah has asked me to set up this fundraiser and facilitate the collection and transfer of funds to her account in Gaza.

Please read her story below to learn how your donation, however small, can make a difference for this family. Lastly, don't forget to share this fundraiser!

Hello, I am Ensherah Al-Saadi from Gaza City, married with two children, Mira and Maher, and I am six months pregnant.

During the October 7 war, the occupation completely destroyed my home, and we miraculously escaped death and became homeless. We lost everything we owned. This forced us to make a painful and difficult decision to leave our place in the northern Gaza Strip to the southern Gaza Strip, specifically the city of Rafah, which was the first displacement area. We were displaced four times after that, the last of which was Mawasi Khan Yunis, and we still see death at every moment.

In addition to our lack of basic necessities of life in the southern Gaza Strip, I lost my home and became unable to help my family who lost security and safety, which made me determined to build a new life for my family after the specter of the ongoing war.

Today, I am communicating with you, not as a survivor, but as an ambitious person who dreams of a brighter future. My ambition is to move my family and I to a safe place. I ask for your support through a fundraising campaign with the aim of reaching $50,000.

The first goal of the campaign is to ensure the safety and stability of my family. The money will be mainly allocated to ensure food, drink and renting a place to live during the delivery period because my birth is in December, which is the coldest day of winter. I or my child will die in the tent. The tent is not suitable for a baby to live on the beach sand.

Our second goal is to get out of here and out of the country for safety. Part of the money will be allocated to ensure that my children get a good education including school fees when we leave the country.

Your contribution, no matter how small, will be a beacon of hope for my family. Thank you for your kindness and support.

-Mother Ensherah
