My name is Mustafa, and I am from Gaza, Palestine. My family of 9 has been displaced from our home, moving from place to place—Rafah, Khan Yunis—seeking safety but finding only more hardship. We've been living in tents, facing unbearable conditions. Poverty, hunger, and illness have taken over our lives. My mother and brothers are sick, and we cannot afford the medicine they need. We have no stable home—no doors, no windows, no clean water. The basic necessities of life are slipping away from us, and it’s breaking us emotionally and physically.

Life in Gaza is growing more dangerous each day, and we are desperate to escape before it’s too late. When the Rafah crossing opens, we hope to make our way to Egypt, but the cost is overwhelming—$5,000 per person, and we are 9. We have nothing left, and without help, we may not make it out. On top of that, we need food, medicine, and basic supplies, but everything is too expensive for us to manage.

We are asking for $50,000 to cover the costs of leaving Gaza and to ensure that we can survive in the short term. Gaza’s future is uncertain, and rebuilding will take years, but we need to act now to save our family.

I am reaching out with the hope that you will see our humanity, that you will understand the urgency of our situation. We are not just statistics—we are a family trying to hold on to each other in the midst of unimaginable suffering. Your help, no matter how small, could save our lives. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your compassion and support.
