Help jamal and his family save their lives

A Young Man from Gaza Dreams of Life – Help Me Survive

My name is Jamal Hossam Al-Dahdouh, an 18-year-old young man from the Gaza Strip. I was born and raised under siege, and I have lived all my years amidst wars, bombings, and fear. But this last war destroyed everything in my life.

My family consists of six members: my mother (Maisa, 38 years old), my father (Hossam, 49 years old), and my siblings: Mohamed (15 years old), Amir (10 years old), Layan (13 years old), and Zeina (4 years old).

In a single moment, my life turned from that of a young man dreaming of a bright future into that of a refugee in my own homeland — without shelter, without safety, and without the basic necessities of life. My home was destroyed, my family was scattered, and all I have left is hope — but hope alone is not enough to survive.

Our home was completely destroyed as a result of an Israeli airstrike. It turned into a pile of rubble, and we were forced to flee more than seven times. We are now living in a small tent, under the constant sounds of bombing and destruction.

I used to love studying very much and worked hard to continue my education, but all those efforts failed due to the bombing and destruction of schools and the repeated displacement we endured.

I now live me and my family under extremely harsh humanitarian conditions: there is not enough food, no clean water, and no electricity. The sound of planes never leaves the sky, and fear never leaves my our hearts. Each day is a new struggle for survival, and every night I wonder if we would have lived to see next day.

My family and I have caught the flu because of the poor living conditions, the spread of viruses, and the extreme cold. We are unable to get treatment due to the high cost of medicine and the closure of the border crossings.

We are in desperate need of donations so that we can travel to a safe and more stable country. The cost of travel for me and my family is around $20,000 USD, which is a huge amount we cannot afford or obtain.

I am not asking for much — I only want a chance to live, a chance to continue my education, to get medical treatment, and to protect the remaining members of my family. That is why I appeal to kind-hearted people to extend a helping hand. Your donation, no matter how small, could be the reason save our lifes.

Help me live… Help me and my family dream again... Help travel to a safer and more stable country.
