OUR STORY
It's painful to say that we lost everything. But yes we did! We lost our beautiful home with all its memories, we lost our business, and we lost our life and dreams. We evacuated our home with only a small bag of clothes before it got bombed and destroyed. So technically YES we lost EVERYTHING, from the biggest to the smallest little detail.

HOW WILL WE USE THE MONEY ?!
Your donations will give our family motivation to work hard for a new beginning. We will use the money to reunite my family and evacuate temporarily to Egypt. My parents left Gaza for medical treatment in Gaza one day before the war. Your donations will help our family reunite with my parents (yousef , khaled and abood , ameera , malak they are twins and their grandparents ), and evacuate all of us temporarily until we can return home to Gaza in the future. I wish to offer my family a decent life, after months of suffering and struggling in these inhuman situations. Rebuilding two different destroyed belongings that we work for years, to build it a brick by brick. Our own apartment and our parents family home. Our dear friends, this is not an obligation, no one is taking advantage of you emotionally for your support. We don't use our people to get your sympathy. We are just stating our own true personal story, hoping and believing in your support.

For what we will use your donations.
1- The first thing is to rebuild our destroyed house and to complete our sons education which it also destroyed in the war by bombing their schools and university.

2- We paid the travel coordination fees to the Republic of Egypt, amounting to27,500$ .

3- The living expenses in the southern part of Gaza City after being forced to leave our homes amounted to approximately $8,000. Initially, we relocated to Khan Younis, where we stayed with relatives and contributed to the logistics costs there. Subsequently, we moved to a small family in Rafah, where we stayed for a while and also contributed to the expenses and rent of a shared room that housed more than 50 people. Then, we moved to a room in an association in Rafah City, where we also contributed to some fees for services such as water provision, among others. The stay incurred very high expenses, including medical treatment and medicines for the children (painkillers and antibiotics), treatment costs for my wife and me for some skin problems, high costs for purchasing diapers and milk, costs for buying vegetables, kitchen equipment, and clothes for me and the children as we fled with nothing. I do not belong to any institution or company from which I receive a regular salary. In other words, if I work, I earn money; if I don't work, there is no money. This explains the lack of savings. Therefore, this amount was borrowed from our friends, and we have now repaid it.
4-The cost of living outside Gaza City averages $1,300 per month, whether in Egypt or other countries, as a minimum due to high rents and living expenses, as well as the cost of purchasing necessary items since we left with only our clothes and nothing else. Therefore, the cost of living for at least one year until the war ends and we are allowed to return requires
We are fully prepared to provide you with all the documents to verify the accuracy of what we have mentioned, with complete transparency. We deeply regret having to ask for donations as we have never sought assistance from anyone before. However, this war exceeded all our capabilities.
