Help in finance my family in Gaza and my sister in Egypt

Dear Friends,

My name is Heba, a Palestinian lady who lives in the UK, we are five sisters and I am the eldest one. My sister Raghad lives in Egypt, the rest of my family live in Gaza and my cousin Nawal who lives in Dubai.

Raghad said:

“Every day in exile alone I remember those nights and the pain we faced in the war and that we have been forcibly displaced 12 times during the war. In winter, in the cold nights add to our hardships, reminding me of everything I once took for granted. Every bombing feels like a brush with death, I feel like I'm going to die at that moment. I am unsure if I'd wake up the next day.

Every day, I dream about my gone house.”

What is even more difficult is that my sister Hind gave birth to twin girls during the war and now she is also pregnant in the middle of her pregnancy and Haya also gave birth to a girl during the war and unfortunately their house was destroyed.

My family have been displaced from the first day of war and now they are living in a tent in Khan Yunis and Raghad is stuck in Egypt alone.

My cousin Nawal went to Egypt in order to meet my sister Raghad for the first time and she wrote these touching words.

“Last year, my 21-year-old cousin was forced to flee Gaza alone for a first time outside of the city only with her computer and few clothes, finding herself displaced in Egypt with no home, no stability, and no clear path forward.

She has shown incredible strength in the face of unimaginable hardship, but now she needs help of others as the situation is not any better and the family can’t provide any other conditions for her as they are themselves trying to battle between the demolished site of their housing and search for an aid to provide food for the family.

As she works to rebuild her life, securing stable housing is the first and most urgent step. We are raising funds to help her find a safe place to live a place where she can finally start to heal and create a new future.

Her passport and visa doesn’t allow her to move anywhere else for the moment so Egypt would be her reality for the longer moment.

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings her closer to stability and hope. If you can’t donate, sharing this with others who might be able to help means the world.

Let’s come together and make sure she doesn’t have to face this journey alone.

She is studying Computer systems engineering and step 2 is to find her a job so she can provide for herself, Raghad is able to develop apps, design websites and other related matters.

We can provide her details of her work directly to anyone potentional who would be interested.”

My family needs your help. My sister needs your help to have a good life.

I have initiated this GoFundMe campaign to raise £36,276 to break down the fund:

£5000: were paid for Raghad's expenses for crossing fees from Gaza to Egypt.

£700: were paid for Raghad's expenses for living in Egypt.

£5000: for living expenses including clothes and milk for 3 babies and for the coming baby.

£5000: for living expenses including clothes and food for the family in Gaza.

£6000: for living expenses including food and rent for Raghad in Egypt.

£14,576: for trying to rebuild the house in Gaza.

Let's stand together and show the world the power of compassion and unity. We can help rebuild hope in Gaza.

Join us in rebuilding lives and communities today. Together, we can make a lasting impact.

I will personally oversee the transfer of funds to a trusted source.

Thank you for your kindness and support!
