Hello everyone. To clarify things for all donors and supporters, here is the background on where your donations go and how I use them. My friend Sarah, who is in Ireland, is helping me by hosting the campaign; she receives the donations from GoFundMe and holds them safely for me until I can access them here in Gaza. The situation is very complicated for us because we lack access to international banking and face financial restrictions, so we rely on friends abroad for help. It requires a great deal of trust. My father is in Egypt as a refugee, all on his own; he left before the war in an attempt to build a better life for us, and now we are separated. Sarah sends the funds to him via money transfer services like Western Union, and he is then able to send them to me in Gaza through our Bank of Palestine accounts. It is a long, complex process, but one I am incredibly grateful for—otherwise, I do not know how we would survive. Your donations help us purchase food, water, medicine, children's clothing, and hygiene products. To be honest, that is all there is; there is no surplus and we have no luxuries, but I cannot thank you enough for everything you have provided for us.

My name is Tariq, and I am from northern Gaza. Today, my family and I are struggling to survive one of the hardest times of our lives.❤️

We lost everything. Our home was destroyed, and we now live in a tent with no stability, no clean water, and very little food. My mother, Ghada, carries the heavy burden of caring for us all while grieving the loss of her son — my brother — who was killed. His children, now orphans, live with us in these harsh conditions. They cry at night from hunger and fear, and we try our best to comfort them, but we have so little to give.

My wife is pregnant and urgently needs medicine and medical care, which we cannot access or afford under the blockade. Every day, I fear for her health and the life of our unborn baby.

Before the war, I worked to support my family, but our source of income was destroyed along with everything we had. Now, we depend entirely on the kindness of people around the world to survive.

Your donation will help us:

• Provide urgent medicine and care for my pregnant wife.

• Feed and clothe my brother’s orphaned children.

• Support my mother Ghada, who is carrying all of this pain while living in a tent.

• Restore some hope and dignity to our broken lives.

We are not asking for much, only for the chance to live with safety, health, and a little comfort during these impossible times.

Every contribution, no matter how small, is a lifeline. Please stand with us and share our story. Together, you can help save my family.
