Help Youssef and his family to survive and thrive

I am Youssef Abu Nimah, I live in Palestine in Gaza City.

I am writing now and I am hesitant. Will anyone feel for me, and will my words be the reason for may salvation and the disappearance of my sadness and great wound after surviving death, bombing, and moving between displacement tents in which I lived the harshest and most difficult moments?

I write now burdened with injustice and sadness for myself and my family. Shells are falling with every minute, and the smell of death is everywhere.

The war did not leave my family alone. The shells killed three of my brothers. My older brother was killed along his wife and children. Two of my brothers were killed in the bombing of their home, leaving behind their wives and young children. I now support my entire family, my mother, father and the rest of this family.

To this extent, I was able to complete my life relying on myself, but my hope of building a new hope was lost when bombs burned my house, and my apartment became a ruin.

My workplace became rubble and stones due to the bombing. My equipment that I use in my work burned.

I have lost hope of continuing. I loved singing and cared about making others happy.

Now I carry mountains of pain on my back, and tears of oppression and despair do not stop flowing down my face.

I write while I still believe that there is someone who can hold my hand until I sand on my feet and continue building my dreams again.

My little house, my work, my equipment, my beautiful voice, they are the light with which I will continue my life while maintaining my family.

Now, I only ask you to rescue me from this darkness with a little financial support. I am in dire need of your serious support, and whoever cannot, please support me with your prayers.

Note: I'm Joana Antunes (from Portugal) and I'm creating this campaign on the behalf of Youssef. The amount raised will be used to meet his family's daily needs during the displacement and to rebuild his house and his business, as soon as possible.
