Hello, I'm Linda Abdalhadi from Gaza Strip.

I hold a law degree, yet I find myself unable to claim my rights through legal means. That’s why I’m turning to this platform — in the hope of reclaiming even a small part of what’s rightfully mine.

Due to the war, I was forced to flee alone from the north to the south of Gaza, leaving behind my husband with the promise that we would reunite once the war ended. I endured all the horrors of war alone, carrying nothing but hope and longing.

In November 2024, my husband was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the north. Instead of one final embrace, I was left with nothing — no goodbye, no hug, no kiss. He took my soul with him, and left me behind to live on the memories of what we once had. He was my beloved, my soulmate, my lifelong support.

Even before that, in April 2024, I lost my brother, also in an Israeli airstrike. He was more than a brother to me.

Earlier, due to malnutrition, constant displacement, and fear, I lost my first child. I also lost my home — my safe space — and even after the war, I remain without shelter, living now in a torn tent that offers no protection from the cold of winter or the heat of summer.

I'm launching this campaign to help me start my own small business. It would give me a source of income and maybe a reason to smile again after the war extinguished so much of my spirit, my dreams, and my livelihood.

I hope you will donate and support me in reaching this simple but meaningful goal.

With love,

Linda
