Peace be upon you,

My name is Marya Tabaza from North Gaza. I was studying to become a surgical technician, but due to the war and lack of money, I could not continue my education.

My father is sick, disabled, and bedridden, and my mother is also ill and elderly. I am the only one responsible for taking care of them. Today, we have no home, no food, no safety, and even the simplest rights of life feel so far away.

My only dream is to complete my studies so I can help my parents with their treatment and give them a better life. I want to live in safety and security with my family, set up a safe shelter, and provide the necessary treatment for my parents.

I am writing to you with a heart heavy with pain and sadness, but also full of hope. I hope you will stand with us and help us live with dignity, safety, and a better future, because your support means so much to us in these very difficult circumstances.
