Help my family rebuild their lives after tragedy

Dear,

I hope this message finds you well and warm.

My name is Aseel Al-Rai, an IT engineer student. I am a Palestinian currently living in the Gaza Strip during the war.

I have 3 brothers and 4 sisters, 4 of whom are married and have 9 children.

I am a third-year student in the College of IT Engineering and I dream of graduating and achieving my dream.

Since the beginning of this war 183 and more days ago, we have been struggling with death, sickness and famine.

We are under attack from specialists and warriors under bombardment, and people get murdered everywhere. We were running from shelter to shelter, and nowhere was safe. The occupation threatened to occupy our neighborhood, so we left our home, and we now live in a tent in Rafah without electricity, gas, or human toilets.

We lack clean water, which is essential for good eating, if at all.

My little niece can't get milk and daily nutritional support, my little nephews can't and we're waiting for our deaths at every moment.

Don't let me explain to you how terrible tank or mountain bombs are. They are so close to us, and Gaza is such a small place, there is nowhere to escape to.

I dream of becoming an IT engineer after my university was destroyed, and I feel very worried about my soul, my body, and my future.

I want to ask to refuge in Belgium for me and my family. In order for the family to leave Gaza, we have to pay 50 thousand dollars to reach Egypt and another 24 thousand dollars to reach Belgium. You can ask me about the money and exactly how it is spent, and I will be more communicative and happy to answer.

Anneli is a trusted source for my fundraising.

I reach out to you with humility and a deep sense of gratitude, and I hope you will empathize with your beacon of lenses in our darkest hours. Please consider donating to my beautiful young family as it could mean the difference between us and a ray of hope for my family in Gaza.

Thank you with all my heart,

Aseel
