My name is Nour. from Gaza, and I never thought I would find myself here, asking people I have never met for help. The war changed my life in ways I still struggle to explain. For a long time, fear became part of my everyday life. I learned how to sleep while worrying about what might happen next, how to continue my life while constantly feeling that everything around me could change in a moment. Even now, although some days may look normal from the outside, I still don’t feel safe. The fear has stayed with me. I still struggle with anxiety, constant worry, and the feeling that something bad could happen. My mental health has been deeply affected, and I often find myself exhausted emotionally, even when I am doing nothing but trying to get through the day. During the war, I was also trying to finish my education. Somehow, despite everything happening around me, I managed to graduate. It was an important moment for me, but I couldn’t simply leave everything that happened behind. Then another painful chapter of my life began. I went through a divorce from a very toxic relationship and found myself having to start over once again. After everything I had already experienced, I felt like I was trying to rebuild myself while carrying more pain than I knew how to handle. I am still trying to recover. The stress has affected me physically as well. I have struggled to maintain a healthy weight, and despite trying, I have found it very difficult to gain weight. Sometimes even taking care of basic things like eating properly, sleeping, and feeling okay can feel harder than it should. I miss feeling like myself. I miss waking up without fear. I miss feeling secure about tomorrow. I miss being able to think about my future without constantly worrying about what could go wrong. Right now, I am trying to rebuild my life from a place of uncertainty. I want to become independent again, take care of myself, and have the chance to live somewhere I can finally feel safe and breathe without fear. That is why I am asking for help. The money raised through this campaign will help me with my basic living expenses and give me the stability I need while I try to rebuild my life and move forward. Asking for help is not easy for me. I have always wanted to be strong and handle things on my own. But sometimes life takes you to a point where you simply cannot do everything alone. If you are able to donate, even a small amount, it would mean more to me than I can put into words. And if you cannot donate, please consider sharing my story. One share could help it reach someone who can make a difference. I have survived war. I have survived the loss of a relationship and the life I once imagined for myself. I am still here, still trying, and still hoping that one day I can feel safe again. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life simply surviving. I want the chance to finally live.
