Hi, my name is Rana, and I'm assisting my friend Heba and her family in Gaza to escape the continuous bombings and threats to their lives. Please help my friend and her family live a safe and peaceful life. All funds raised will go directly to Heba and her family to facilitate their exit from Gaza and help them find alternative opportunities.

In Heba's own words:

"I am writing to you with a heavy heart and tears flowing. I hope you will understand my story and help me survive with my children. We once had a beautiful life filled with activities, living in luxurious homes, cooking delicious Palestinian dishes, engaging in sports clubs, reading, studying, and playing.

However, our lives changed drastically on October 7 when our suffering in the war began. Initially, we planned to leave and survive the war, but the cost of travel required $5,000 per person, a sum we couldn't afford.

Consequently, we endured unimaginable tragedies. Forced by Israeli forces to flee Gaza City, we ended up in Rafah, walking with nothing but the clothes on our backs. We lived in unsuitable tents, facing diseases from canned food, unclean water, and shared bathrooms. Malnourished and weakened, my children deserve to live in safety and peace, but the war deprives them of this right. My youngest daughter, Jana, can't sleep without clinging to me, fearing bombings and expressing her wish to die with me if I die. They've robbed my children of feeling secure. Therefore, I implore you to help us travel and protect my children from the horrors of war.

We require the necessary funds to cover the coordination fees for exiting through the Rafah land crossing to the "Ya Hala" company in Egypt. The fee is $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per minor, along with additional expenses like passport acquisition and transportation.

Thank you for your assistance.

Here is some photos of my house and its rubble now.
