Note from fundraiser organizer:

This is Cardinal, please take a few seconds out of your day to read Osama's story, and do anything in your power to help. Thank you

Hello,

My name is Osama, a young P4lestinian man from G4za, studying programming and software development. I dreamed of a better future for myself and my family, working hard, learning, and planning to build a career in the world of technology.

But everything changed suddenly.

The war shattered our dreams.

With the start of the latest war on G4za, our lives turned into a nightmare. The bombing didn't stop, our homes were destroyed, the internet and electricity were cut off, and I lost all means of learning and working. I was no longer able to study or even think about tomorrow.

The moment the first missile fell near our house, I realized that nothing would ever be the same.

Every moment we heard the occupation's planes, we hugged each other, recited the Shahada, and silently waited for death.

Our first displacement was to R4fah. We suffered enough there. We hoped the war would end while we were there, but we were displaced again to the city of Kh4n Yvnis. We remained there for four months of suffering and real famine. We were then displaced again to the M4wasi area of ​​Kh4n Yvnis. Now they want us to leave our country. Where will we end up? We are facing famine, destruction, and complete ethn1c cleansing of the people.

We live today without security, without sufficient food, without clean water, in conditions unbearable for humans.

I am writing to you today, from the midst of this suffering, to ask for your help for me and my family. We are in dire need of:

Food and medicine

Safe shelter

Daily expenses for survival

Money to escape G4za to a safe country

We are now living on the remnants of the aid that occasionally arrives.

We haven't had a full meal in days, and we don't know where we'll get the money for bread tomorrow.

We go to bed shivering from the cold and fear, and we wake up unable to believe we're still alive.

Hunger is sometimes bearable, but the constant fear, the sound of bombs, and the loss of hope are killing us slowly.

There is life here, only waiting for death.

There are no universities, no internet, no electricity, no safety, no medicine… nothing.

I am an ambitious student, but now I can't even read a single line of a book.

Everything we built over the past years was lost in an instant.

My goal: Save my family and complete my studies.

I'm not looking for luxury or comfort, but rather a chance at life and security. I just want to save my family, retrace my path in education, and rebuild my future in programming, in a safe place where bombs don't fall every day.

I'm not asking for the impossible… I only ask:

To get my family out of G4za to a safe place

To provide them with the minimum of a decent life

To one day return to my studies and complete what I started

To heal this pain and start over

Donate any amount you can, even if it's small—every dollar makes a difference.

Share this campaign with your friends and family, perhaps it will reach a compassionate heart.

Every share of this story could reach a heart that changes the fate of an entire family.

I believe that goodness never dies, and that humanity will ultimately triumph.

Help us live.

— Osama, from G4za
