<div><strong>Hello everyone,</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is <strong><em>Sawsan Salem</em></strong>,
</div>
<div>a single mother of three children. Before the start of this horrific war, I was working as a physical education teacher at one of G.aza’s schools.
</div>
<div>I struggled a lot to take care of my children. Lara, the eldest, is 17 and was supposed to finish high school this year. Mayar is a junior high school student, and Abdul Rahman is in the eighth grade.
</div>
<div>I have been separated from their father for a long time. For more than ten years, I have been the father and the mother, the only breadwinner. I feel sorry for my kids, whose childhood has been painted with blo.odshed and misery. The kids and I have witnessed many wars alone since 2008. You can count my kids ages according to the several wars they went through since the day each was born.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I suffer from many diseases due to the difficulty of the life that I live.
</div>
<div>I suffer from a third-degree rupture of the diaphragm, a dilation of the mouth of the stomach- 6 cm above normal, esophageal reflux, and severe inflammation of the small intestine. I had received treatment before the war.
</div>
<div>The doctor then advised me to travel to Egypt to undergo a procedure to treat the cartilage using thermal frequency.
</div>
<div>I also suffer from cartilage in my lower back. Because of the war, the prices of medicines increased and many dr.ugs are not even available. What added to all this misery is the demolition of the house which I struggled for years to buy for me and my children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We moved to it just months before the war erupts. My house and all the houses in the neighborhood were bom/bed and turned into ashes. The house was the dream of my kids. But, alas, it’s no more.
</div>
<div>I lost all my possessions and clothes. We were displaced a lot from a place to anither in Deir al-Balah, and we also lived in the tent for a long time. We lived many times of terror and fear. In the early days of this brutal war, my neighbors’ house was bom/bed
</div>
<div>. My son, Abdul Rahman, the beautiful child, suffered from chronic allergies in the chest and the narrowing of the bronchial tubes due to inhaling gunpo.wder. Earlier, he had been classified by doctors as a patient with chronic illness as his lungs were tired due to his infection with Covid-19. Abdul Rahman needs a lot of medications, which are very expensive.
</div>
<div>My son will remain chronically short of breath, and this child will be deprived of playing football like other children. While most kids around the world ho to school and play their favorite games, Abdulrahman witnesses first hand bom/bing and ki.lling.
</div>
<div>Your support to my family means that we can buy the medications and it also helps me get the travel expenses as each person needs $5,000 to cross the borders.I am desperate to start over. Your donation, regardless of how small truly makes a difference and draws a smile on my kids faces.
