My name is Shadi Baroud, and I live in Germany. I am organizing a fundraising campaign to help my sister and her family escape from the war zone in Gaza.
My sister's name is Fadwa Baroud, and her husband is Faiz Baroud. They have seven children. Here is their story:
I am Fadwa Baroud, from Gaza. I am 50 years old, and my husband, Faiz Talal Baroud, is 52 years old. We have seven children:
Talal, 28 years old and he has a 3-year-old daughter.
Rajeh, 26 years old
Mohamed, 24 years old
Islam, 21 years old
Omar, 19 years old
Abdulrahman, 15 years old
Maryam, 10 years old
We live in constant fear, destruction, and war. If you can spare just two minutes of your time, please listen. We have been living in war for more than a year now, and there are no words to describe what we are going through. We have faced death several times, but we don’t know how to escape it each time—due to bombing, destruction, and direct targeting. We’ve been displaced many times, fleeing from bombings, tanks, and attacks. We were forced to leave our beautiful city, Rafah, and now we live in a tent that doesn’t protect us from the cold of winter. I don’t know how to describe the suffering we’ve endured, from the intense heat of summer to the presence of insects and rodents. We live in a way that no human should have to endure. We fear for our lives.
We lost our home and our beautiful memories, and now we are without shelter. I had hoped to return to it soon, but with the Israeli army in the area, we have no chance of going back to our destroyed home. We were forced to leave our city and home, losing so much, and we were not given the opportunity to collect the food, clothes, and blankets we needed.
I suffer from chronic conditions, including high blood pressure, IBS, and stomach issues. My children have lost their jobs, and some of them have lost their education. They had many dreams and ambitions, but the war has destroyed everything beautiful in their lives. That’s why I am striving to achieve what we want, but I feel deeply ashamed to ask you for help in anything, even something small. It would mean so much to me and my family, as it could save our lives.
I hope that you can donate. Every small contribution could save our lives.


This is a glimpse of our daily suffering, as we lack the most basic necessities of life. Every day, we face challenges that turn survival into a constant struggle in unforgiving conditions.

Every day we live death, terror and panic a thousand times because of the continuous bombing of my city. The war has killed more than fifty of my relatives and neighbors. At the beginning of the war, we took refuge in my aunt’s house, but it too turned into rubble. Imagine: we have escaped imminent death more than twenty times, and we have been displaced between shelters more than thirteen times. My brothers and I have suffered from many diseases due to malnutrition, and we need medicine constantly.

If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza for a safe place. However, travel costs are extremely high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. Due to exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, lack of security, the ongoing siege, and relentless bombardment, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant shelling and shrapnel flying above us? Dear compassionate friends around the world,
We ask you to stand with us, even if it is just a little.
Thank you for you support
