</div>
<div>Hello, I am Samer Shaat, a father of four children, and I live in Gaza - Palestine, which is currently subjected to a fierce war and continuous bombing for more than six months.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to start my story about a year before the war began when I decided to build my own house, which is a floor above the house that my family owns. Based on this decision, I collected all the money I had saved throughout my working career for more than 17 years and sold my own car. I borrowed a sum of money to complete the construction of a house that would include me and my family, which at the time in my imagination was the house in which I would spend the rest of my life with my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Indeed, I started building the house and supervising all the large and small details, starting with the columns and walls, finishing, and ending with the furniture and electrical appliances.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79595677_1713645092381890_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After more than a year of effort motivated by hope, I finished preparing the house that my small family dreamed of, and we moved to live in the new house on the first of August 2023.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But unfortunately, after only about two months, the war began, and the violent bombardment of everything, including hospitals, schools, and infrastructure. After nearly a month of the start of the war, I was forced to leave my home and move with my family to the southern Gaza Strip. This was on 11/12/2023, and this was the last day I saw my home. Less than a month later, the house was bombed and became a pile of rubble.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>I could not believe at the time what had happened, and I felt like I was in a disturbing nightmare. But as time passed and after I saw the pictures that my relatives had taken at the place, I began to understand and submit to God’s decree and destiny. But now my family and I have become homeless and without a monthly income, and we cannot provide the minimum necessities of life, including food and clothing, as my primary job before the war was to work remotely as a mobile application programmer. Unfortunately, due to the blackout of electricity and the Internet, I lost all my clients and no longer have any source of income.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>My brother Mohammed, who lives in Canada, advised me to create an account on the GoFundMe platform under his management so that I can reach you, publish my case, and ask for help as much as possible so that I can travel with my family and start a new life in Canada, which requires large expenses that I cannot bear alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hope that you will sympathize with me and donate to me to reach the amount I need to escape from the war going on in my country now, which has so far killed more than 40,000 people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The only crossing through which we can exit is the Rafah crossing.
</div>
<div>Each adult person is charged a fee of 5,000 USD * 2 = 10,000 USD
</div>
<div>Each child is charged afee of
</div>
<div>2,500 USD * 4 = 10,000 USD
</div>
<div>so I need 20,000 US dollars (27,600 Canadian dollars).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My goal is to raise $27,600 CAD to ensure their safe passage to Egypt.
