<div>Hello everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraising campaign is being organized and supported by me. My name is Nomaan Ahmad, and I am from the United Kingdom.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I came to know Muhnad and his family through mutual contacts and later spoke with him personally. I learned about the hardships his family is facing in Gaza and was deeply moved by their daily struggle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I decided to help by creating this campaign to support Muhnad, his wife, and their children, Youssef, Jouri, and Julia, in their ongoing fight to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All donations will go directly toward meeting their basic needs, including food, clean water, medicine, clothing, and other essential necessities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any support, no matter how small, can make a real difference in this family's life during these extremely difficult times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Note: This story has been updated following the ceasefire announcement, but the family's suffering and daily hardships continue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Below are Muhnad's own words about his family's reality today:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>---
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My children still ask me every day if we are going to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Muhnad Yousef, and I am a father from Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We did not survive the war only to live in peace. Instead, we continue to face daily hardships and an ongoing struggle for survival.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even after ceasefire announcements and periods of calm, very little has changed for us. Fear remains present, and our lives are still filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and the constant challenge of meeting our basic needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite the ceasefire, we still wake up every day with fear in our hearts. The uncertainty has not ended, and the feeling of danger remains part of our daily lives. We continue to worry about our children's safety and about what tomorrow may bring. For us, the struggle did not end when the ceasefire was announced; it continues every day as we try to protect our family and survive under extremely difficult conditions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We live near what is known as the "Yellow Line," where tensions and danger remain a part of daily life. Every day we worry about our children's safety and future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After a long period of displacement and living in tents, we finally managed to rent a small home after losing our house and everything we owned. Finding shelter has become extremely difficult due to the widespread destruction and the severe shortage of available housing. As a result, we are forced to pay nearly $1,000 per month in rent, an amount far beyond what we can afford.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not a story from the past. It is our reality today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I live with my children, Youssef, Jouri, and Julia. Every morning I wake up thinking about how to protect them and provide for their most basic needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My children also suffer from the psychological impact of everything we have endured. They live with fear, anxiety, and emotional trauma that has deeply affected their daily lives. They need emotional support and care to help them cope, as well as simple moments of childhood that can provide comfort and a sense of safety.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are days when I cannot provide enough food.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are days when obtaining clean water or medicine becomes extremely difficult.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every day, I try to hide the full extent of our suffering from my children so they do not lose hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They ask simple questions that break my heart:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Will we eat today?"
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Are we safe?"
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I answer them with reassuring words, even when I am not certain of the answer myself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have come close to losing our lives more than once, and the effects of those experiences remain with us every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Life here is unstable. Prices are extremely high, basic necessities are scarce, and every day requires difficult choices just to keep going.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign is not about comfort or luxury.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is about survival with dignity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation will be used directly to help provide:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Food and clean water for my children
</div>
<div>• Essential medicines and healthcare
</div>
<div>• Basic psychological support for the children
</div>
<div>• Clothing and everyday necessities
</div>
<div>• Simple toys and activities to help ease the children's fear and stress
</div>
<div>• Transportation and daily living expenses
</div>
<div>• Rent for our home
</div>
<div>• Communication costs and ongoing emergency needs
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are not asking for luxury.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for a chance to keep our children alive and preserve their dignity under conditions that remain harsh and uncertain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are reading this, please do not look away. Our story did not end when the world's attention moved elsewhere. We are still struggling to survive, one day at a time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And if you are unable to donate, sharing our story with others may help us reach someone who can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From Gaza, we continue to hold on to hope and fight to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
