Help Hazem and Ibrahim to save their friendship and their families to survive.
Iam Hazem , me and Ibrahim have lived in Gaza since we were born. We know no other home but Gaza. Since we were young, We went to the kindergarten together, We went to school together, even when we traveled abroad to study after high school, we went to Egypt to study the same major but in different universities. We studied dentistry.
After that we went back home together. For the past 27 years, we were friends. And we are never going to be apart. When we went back home to Gaza, we started working at the same dentistry center which was the Global dentistry center in Gaza.
After few years we started planning to start our own business of having our own dentistry clinic. On October 2nd, 2023, we started searching for places to rent to start our dream clinic using the whole money that we gathered through our careers. However, the war against Palestinians in Gaza was launched on October 7th 2023. We thought it would be fine, like other rounds of escalations that we witnessed before, but turns out that we were wrong.
My friend Ibrahim lost his house during the third day of the war. All of his memories and stuff, even the money that we wanted to use to have our own business, went deep down the rubble. He was forced to seek safety through our old neighborhood, next to my house.
However, We were so unfortunates to be informed to evacuate the whole neighborhood preparing it to be bombed. During 5 minutes after the call of the evacuation that we received at 2 after midnight, we were forced to choose between the memories and our lives. It was a very complicated choice to choose your life over your home. We evacuated in the other neighborhoods’ house, As we lost our houses, our memories, our past, our childhood and teen hood, our home.
From dentists dreaming to be someone that is remembered for ever, to refugees that lost their houses, dreams, ambitions, and even the views. Our lives have turned into baking using woods, doing the laundry, looking for drinkable water; if we were lucky enough to find some, and thinking of how we get food to survive. The dream of having our own clinic has vanished between the sorrows, anxiety, terror, sleepless nights, starvation, thirst and the white plastic tents.
After 60 days of the war, I saw Ibrahim for the first time. It was the longest period of time ever with no see. I felt life again. I finally could remember who I am once more. After the communication cuts that we went through, I thought I might never to be able to see him again but thank God he’s alive. Although he got much thinner , but he’s still having his sense of humer.
I am creating this fundraising to help our friendship to survive and our families, to go from the war to the safety. And I can’t leave my family behind as he can’t leave his family behind. Help us to get to the safety zone and survive. Ibrahim family contains his parents, 6 sisters; Fatina 34, Hiba 33, Hadeel, 31, Marah 24, Farah 22, Raghad 19, 2 brothers; Mohammed 32, Marwan 26 . My family consists my parents, Nahla 37, Eyad 31 and his 2 children's, Amanda 7, and Hassan who was born in the middle of war November 11th,2023.
We miraculously are surviving till this moment as he and I lost so many family members and friends. Meanwhile I am afraid of loosing him or seeing him sad over his loss.
So please help us to gain 100,000$ so we can live a fine life where we could make our dreams come true for that we believe that we deserve to live better. The crossing fees through Egypt border: 6000$ for each , I am not asking you to pay my loss of friends or family or house or money. I am asking you to help us to get to safety and make our dream true.
While you are reading this, Gaza is still being bombed, I am still a refugee me and my family as Ibrahim’s family as well. We might lose our lives at any second. Our dream might get destroyed at any moment by the tragic death of anyone of us. We need urgent help to get out of the war to the safety. I appreciate your spending time on reading my story as I hope you might be able to help me with your donations.
