Please help to evacuate desperate family from Gaza

Dear All,

I hope this message finds you safe and well, as safety is all I wish for every human in the whole world.

This is Bassel Barakat, 34 years old, married, and I have a beautiful son Adam and a beautiful daughter Soso. We are war survivors until now, writing to you from the most unsafe place in the world - Gaza - where the ongoing violence and oppression has turned every day into a battle for survival.

We have known hardship all too well for many years, enduring the relentless challenges of living in a conflict zone. Yet, the current situation has plunged us into even deeper despair, facing homelessness, hunger and illness. So my wife and I are reaching out for a chance to escape and build a new life out of here.

We are running out of time and I really want to survive, I thought a lot before starting to create a link on GoFundMe but I just want to try - we are living under rockets, bombardment, and airstrikes, and I don't want to be a number. I want to live in peace with my family without any of this. Everything here is not suitable for human life, everything is literally deadly.

For me, before the war, I had a life that I slept with my eyes full of gratitude to God for it. I graduated as a translator and started working but there is no place left in Gaza that was not destroyed. We have faced the harsh reality that there seems to be no sanctuary from the ongoing violence and instability.

I've launched a GoFundMe campaign with a desperate plea for help. Our sole mission is to evacuate my family from the violence and devastation engulfing Gaza. Every contribution, regardless of size, brings us closer to ensuring their safety and well being.

With each passing day, the urgency of our situation intensifies. Your support is not just a lifeline, it's a beacon of hope amidst the darkness. Together we can make a difference, bringing my family to safety and reigniting our dreams for a better future.

Your help means rescuing three souls, each one filled with hope, love and ambition. Your help means that we're not just numbers, and that their lives matter and deserve to go on despite everything. You are now reading what I wrote, being the knight who will contribute to saving me and my family from the death machine devouring everything in its path.

With profound gratitude,

Bassel Barakat
