Help me save my family and bring them to me

Hello, I'm Ola from Gaza, a mother of three daughters: Layan, Razan, and Yara. I live abroad, and I couldn't take my daughters with me. Since the war began, I have been in extreme worry and fear for my family because I am not with them, and I don't know how things are going for them or how to protect them

Their residence was bombed, and everything around them was destroyed. They have lost all aspects of life, in addition to all the money we saved for the past 10 years. Everything has turned into scattered dust.

My family couldn't leave to southern Gaza; they remained in the north with a lack of all necessities of life - no food, no drink, and I can't even send money to them. Literally, there is nothing. People have resorted to consuming animal feed and grains unfit for human consumption just to survive hunger.

It's worth mentioning that my middle daughter, Razan, has only one kidney, requiring very special care in terms of food, clean water, and medication. My youngest daughter, from the beginning of the war, is in such shock that she can't speak or recognize me when she sees me. Their small hearts and psyches are shattered.

My husband is a civil engineer, and now he has also lost his job due to the war. Even in normal circumstances, he used to receive only half of his salary, which was not enough for the basic necessities of life. He has accumulated a lot of debt to build a home for us to live in, and our house has been severely damaged by the war, causing the loss of everything we had invested in it.

A few days ago, my eldest daughter, Layan, sent me a letter with her wishes. I felt my heart split in half when I saw what she wrote. I can't fulfill her simple wishes, hug her, or comfort her. I can hardly communicate with her due to the severe internet outage in Gaza, especially in the north.

All I ask from this donation is to be able to get them out of Gaza and save whatever is left of them from this harsh war. I have recently started working and do not have enough money to get them out and start a new life with them. I need money for their exit from the Rafah crossing, where the cost per adult is $5,000 and children $2,500, making the total amount only $12,500 to get out of Gaza to Egypt. There are also visa fees, flight tickets a minimum of $115 per person, depending on variable flight prices, house rent per month is $848 for 6 months, furnishing, and all basic expenses for food, drink, and clothing. Starting a new life costs a lot, and I really cannot afford the cost of anything.

All I hope for is for you to look at my children with mercy. They deserve life like any child in this world. I cannot imagine what might happen to them if they remain without a mother in this war and the extremely difficult circumstances.

I hope you can share my message as widely as possible.

Thank you for your understanding, and I appreciate your efforts and donations very much.
