<div>My name is <strong>Tariq Shabir,</strong> a 23-year-old from Gaza. At least, I *think* I’m 23—time stopped for me on October 7th, 2023.

<div>‏Before the war, my family of nine had a simple but beautiful life. We owned a humble home, a small business that fed us, and hearts full of dreams. I graduated high school with honors (<strong>92%</strong>) and dreamed of studying abroad on a scholarship. But borders were sealed, so I enrolled at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza, clinging to hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‏Then, the bombs fell.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‏Our home is now rubble. Our business—our only income—vanished in an instant.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The peace we knew turned to terror; the laughter of my siblings to silence. Half my family and friends are gone—martyred. The other half are scattered, missing, or buried under debris. I don’t know if they’re alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‏Every night, I stare at the sky and beg: *Why us?* Why must children dig through ruins for food? Why must students like me bury their dreams with their dead?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‏**I’m starting this campaign to save what’s left of my family.** We need <strong>food</strong>, <strong>shelter</strong>, and a <strong>way to rebuild</strong>. But more than that, we need hope—proof that the world hasn’t forgotten Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‏You’re my only lifeline now. Please, don’t look away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‏**Donate. Share. Pray.**
</div>
<div>‏Even <strong>$5 </strong>can buy a loaf of bread. A repost can amplify our cry for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‏Thank you for being the family I still have.
