<div>My name is Musa Youssef, I am 16 years old and I live in Gaza. Life under occupation is miserable. My dreams have been shattered. I don't know if I will be able to live the life I want. And even if I could, the trauma I went through would shape who I am for the rest of my life. And if I reach 20, the scars of this trauma will be there forever. I'm a teenage kid who wants to enjoy life. I want to be able to explore my passions, joys, and dreams and complete my studies without fear of death all around. I want to live. I deserve to live a decent life with my family without wars, death and fear. I deserve to be able to do the monotonous things that most of you don't even think about. When I was studying in school, my biggest dream was to learn the English language, and when I went to university, I was planning to study as a skilled doctor and to be nice to everyone so that I would be loved. Please consider helping me and my family. This is just one goal among many that I need to achieve in order to get me and my family out of Gaza because of the brutal invasions of the occupation. Because of their attack on our homes, their demolition, and their attempt to rape our women and kill our innocent children who deserve to live their childhood. I have been a student for a whole year. I did not go to school or learn there because the occupation prevented us from studying. We were displaced from our homes because they were angry with us, and we were beaten and insulted by the occupation. We could not do anything because they were threatening us with weapons. I want you to help us by donating so that my family and I can leave Gaza safely before we die. Thank you!!!!

<div>Hello world, I am Musa Youssef from Gaza, I am 16 yo. Before the war my family and I lived a peaceful life, on the 116th day of the war our house was bombed and destroyed, we miraculously escaped death but became homeless.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of the occupation there is no safety in Gaza, there are not conditions for life, so I was forced to make this campaign to afford to evacuate myself and my family.
</div>
<div>Me and my 7 family members will need an amount of $49 000 just to cover the evacuations costs, this amount will be paid to whoever is in charge of managing the Rafah crossing once it re opens. The remaining amount will be used to cover things like food, housing, transportation and other basic nessecities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount donated, it doesn't matter how small, will have the power to change my life, the lives of my family, including the life of my beloved nephew, 2yo Hamada, please help us leave this hell so my family can live in peace, so little Hamada can know life beyond bombing and fear.
