Support Munira & Dr. Hasan’s Family in Gaza

هذه الحملة شخصية بالكامل وتهدف لدعم عائلتي فقط، أي ادعاء من أي جهة بأنها تقوم بالترويج، هو ادعاء غير صحيح ومضلل.

Organizer Note: (This Campaign is verified by Pali Liberation & Butterfly Effect Project)

Hi, we are raising funds to support our family in Gaza. Due to GoFundMe’s policies, our friend Candice Valenzuela in the USA is listed as the beneficiary, but all contributions will go directly toward ensuring our family’s survival and restoring our lives during and after this war.

Our Story:

On December 25th, 2023, we faced the unthinkable. Forced to flee our home in the north of Nuseirat amidst relentless shelling for the first time in our life. Since then, we have been displaced and escaped from death more than seven times from our home, seeking safety in places like Mawassi Rafah, Deir al-Balah, and in some of our relatives homes in Nuseirat refugee camps)

Now, after all this, we have finally returned to our home.

This is my family: my husband Dr. Hassan Al Qatrawy, my daughter Lamis, and my sons Ali, Mohammad, and Aboud. We shared a life full of love, joy, and cherished memories.

Dr. Hassan Al Qatrawy, PhD holder in Psychology and a former university lecturer at Al-Aqsa University. He is also a celebrated novelist, with two novels and numerous works published in prestigious literary magazines worldwide.

His second novel, "Rawan's Café in Our Tent", was written during our displacement in Rafah, under the harshest conditions. Amid the overcrowded tents, the loss, and the constant threat of bombardment, he found a way to turn our suffering into a story of resilience. The novel is a testimony to how creativity can survive even flourish under siege.

Rawan's Café – Assir Al Kotob

I am Munira El Najar, an English Language teacher with 16 years of experience and a Master's student in Curriculum and Instruction. I was ranked among the top ten teachers in Palestine in the 2022 "Teacher of Palestine" competition.

Ali (18) loves business and math, dreaming of a future in finance, though limited opportunities make his path uncertain.

Lamis (15) once dreamed of becoming a dentist, but with Gaza’s schools destroyed, she has lost 2 year2 of education.

Mohammed (13), nicknamed “Newton” for his sharp mind, hopes to be a surgeon, yet his studies are on hold due to the war.

Abood (4) embodies childhood innocence once full of laughter, he now clings to me, still dreaming of playing freely at home.

The goal of this campaign is to provide us with the support we need to navigate through these challenges and forge a path towards restoring our lives.

How the Funds Will Be Used:

The donations will be used for our urgent needs, including food, medical care, and restoring our children’s education and future.

Why Your Support Matters

Your support is vital in helping us move forward with hope for a better future. It gives my children the chance to keep dreaming, learning, and growing despite the challenges they face.

As an educator and the wife of a respected academic and author, I’ve always believed in the power of education and the importance of the stories we share. With your support, we can restore and move forward with renewed strength and determination.
