CONTRIBUTE TO HELP OUR FAMILY

Salam, Hello everyone, my name is Reem Usmani and I am collecting donations on behalf of Fatima and her family. She is a teenage girl from Gaza, and I kept in constant contact with her. She and her family are in desperate need of help and the family needs this money to cover their living expenses. This next part she wrote herself: “Hello everyone, I am a girl from Gaza, specifically (Deir al-Balah) Our suffering began on October 7. Everything changed after seven in the morning. First, the sand area was warned. Then the area was completely destroyed. After that, they asked the residents of the north to leave because it was not a safe area and it was a military area. The situation was getting worse all the time. One day we thought it was a war that would come and end like any war that had come throughout my life, but this war we are going through events like the events of the Nakba in 1948, forced displacement, deliberate killing, and many things that I cannot describe.

We were like all of you, we have a life! . I was trying to get the highest grades in 10th grade. I entered this stage with enthusiasm, but unfortunately most of the education centers were destroyed. Life in Gaza is beyond any imaginable horrors. I may not be able to put into words the horrors of this war, but the news is in front of you on the screen, clear as day. Words cannot describe the scenes that are repeated every day of this war. Life in Gaza has become impossible. 

 We face many challenges to survive. We cannot live a normal day without fighting for some water (if it is drinkable), food and bread. We search for hope and live on memories that we hope will come back again thanks to your continued support. We live a miserable life, suffering from a lack of food, water, electricity, medicine, and all the necessities of life, and the spread of strange insects everywhere due to the spread of sewage and population density. Our future is gone and everything, we are not planning to evacuate at this time due to not being able to afford these very high costs so we want to raise money to cover our daily expenses due to the high prices so if you are reading this do not turn a blind eye and help us as much as you can I am reaching out to you in hopes that you can lend a helping hand during our darkest hours. Your donation, whatever the amount, will have a significant impact. Your small help makes a big difference for us. What prompted me to do this is that we were in the same situation for 7 months, approximately 225 days, and there was no work or source of income left, so we resorted to this method after a long thought. If you can help, please consider... 

 Share our story with your network to expand our reach. thanks for understanding."
