Hello dear friends

Please read my story as if I'm a member of your family.

I am Bahaa from Gaza, I am 27 years old, I graduated from Gaza University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, I have been through five wars including this one, but this is the worst, me

and my family lost our home, our source of income and everything, we were forced to flee more than 3 times, now we live in a tent and life is very difficult.

My story began in 2014 during the fierce war on the Gaza Strip that lasted 52 days, when my older brother, Mohammed, who was the sole breadwinner for my family, was martyred. Several months after my brother’s martyrdom, my father fell seriously ill, but the illness did not give him much time and pursued my brother Mohammed.

We are a family of 8 members, my youngest brother is Ibrahim who is not more than three years old, we were licking our wounds and trying to get our lives back without my father and my brother Mohammed until the brutal aggression came in the fall of 2023, and the occupation army ordered us to leave our homes and our beautiful town of Al-Qarara.

At first, we went to one of our relatives in Khan Yunis and stayed for only one day and one night, then the second evacuation order came with heavy shelling. We then went directly to Rafah and stayed with one of our friends for about two months without healthy food or clean water, and with a significant increase in prices. After about two months, the occupation army ordered us to leave Rafah again and move to the Mawasi area. We actually moved to the Mawasi area in Khan Yunis, and now we are still living in the Mawasi area and living inside tents that do not protect us from the summer heat, the winter cold, or the rainfall.

My family and I have lived through times full of bombing, displacement, homelessness, fear, suffering, destruction, pain, famine, food shortages, unsanitary water, and the spread of diseases and epidemics. In addition to all of this, our home was destroyed and we lost all the beautiful memories and wonderful times.

My house:

Since we moved to live in the Mawasi area on the sea inside the tents, we have been suffering every day from the intense heat, biting insects, flies, mice, ants, the very salty and polluted water, and the uncleanliness of the food. We also suffer in the winter from the severe cold and heavy rainfall that leads to us drowning.

My family is still in dire need of many basic necessities, such as food, cleaning supplies, cooking gas, clean water, and others, the prices of which have become very high and my family can no longer afford them.

I am trying with all our might to secure a decent life for my family, my mother and my orphan sisters, as I am the sole breadwinner for my family after the death of my father and my brother Mohammed, but I cannot do it alone.

so I humbly ask you to try to donate as much as you can to help my family and my orphan sisters in the most difficult times and circumstances we are going through.

In closing, every dollar counts, and your support will not only provide my family with a lifeline but also restore our hope for a brighter future Your generosity is vital for our survival, helping us achieve our dreams. By sharing our campaign, you amplify its impact and bring us closer to overcoming these challenges.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with us during this difficult journey and for believing in a better tomorrow
