<div><strong>Hello world</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>I am Manal Ghurab, a wife and a working mother of four beautiful children.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I graduated from university and then worked as a math teacher. I made many sacrifices and worked hard to be a devoted mother and a diligent teacher who enlightens the minds of the children of Gaza. I was supposed to continue my career and achieve the dreams I worked for, as I was able to buy a house. Our little dreams of my family and a car,

<div><span style="color:inherit;font-family:inherit;font-size:1rem;">But the war had another opinion, </span><strong style="color:inherit;">and I found myself losing everything: </strong><span style="color:inherit;font-family:inherit;font-size:1rem;">my home, my money, my car, my job, and the city I live in. </span><strong style="color:inherit;">There was no longer any hope for a beautiful future.</strong><span style="color:inherit;font-family:inherit;font-size:1rem;"> Two days after the war began, I received the news of the evacuation of my beloved home. This was a huge shock, not only for me, but for my family, in the blink of an eye we found ourselves in the open</span>

<div><strong>We were forced to flee and emigrate in our homeland</strong> so that the tragedy here would stop.  <strong>The shock came after my husband and daughter were </strong>injured as a result of the heavy shelling on our land, which made my husband unable to move.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My loss does not end here, death knocks on our door every day, and every new day in the shadow of war is a possibility of a new loss.

</div>

<div><strong>We tried to live our pain and adapt, so we moved to live in a small tent</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>It did not accommodate my entire family. It did not protect us from the heat of summer or the cold of winter. Insects scared my children, and our children could not sleep for many days.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My children's faces became pale due to the scarcity of health and medical care. <strong>I suffered from skin diseases and hepatitis</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We forgot all the comforts that were taken from us.

</div>

<div>Now my only wish is to protect my family and protect the ambitions and dreams of my children, who have always aspired to be famous on social media and everywhere.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>The situation after almost a year of this genocide is that the borders of Gaza are unfortunately</strong> closed and no one can leave of course unless you pay the maximum amount of money to save your life and cross the Rafah crossing to reach Egypt. It costs about $7,000 to $9,000 per person and as a family of 6 it seems impossible to afford the amount we have to pay just to reach Egypt.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Asking for your help is the only way to save my family's life and future, your help may become our hope when hope is far from us under these circumstances, <strong>every dollar you can help with may save a life, bring hope to a tired heart and save a young future.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Please do not read this as a story of tragedy</strong>, I am here to ask you to prevent further tragedy and help us start our lives anew.  I am here to ask for your help, not your sympathy, to ask you to take action whether by donating or sharing this with everyone you know who can help, please read this with your heart and take action as if it were your family, your mother, your siblings who are living in these conditions.

</div>

<div>Here are some before and after pictures of the war.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>So here is how the money was spent:</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>* Paying approximately $7,000 for each member of my family of 6 to cross the Rafah crossing and safely reach Egypt

</div>

<div>* Approximately $6,000 to cover GoFundMe transaction fees (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction)

</div>

<div>* <strong>The rest of the money will be used for housing, food, etc.</strong> for a period of time in Egypt

</div>

Help Manal and her family evacuate and start a new, safe lif

Still $10,279 to go. Help us build momentum.
