My name is Amro Bakr. I am 37 years old from Gaza. I used to work as an accountant in a Palestinian establishment in Gaza. I have two kids Tala (7 years old) and Bakir (4 years old). We are an innocent family who woke up into a nightmare that costed us our health, our house, and our future.

Before October 7th, we had a simple life. I worked hard to create this family and to provide for them. I worked in different places until I secured a stable job. I built everything from scratch. Despite the challenges, our life was rich with love, hope, and gratitude. All we desired was a roof over our heads and a united family. However, everything changed after that day. We lost our home and our car in Gaza. Now, all we have left is the hope for survival.

My kids, Tala and Bakir. Tala was really excited about starting her new school year. She's a big fan of drawing. Bakir, well, he hasn't even stepped foot in a school. He's the real spark plug in our house, always full of energy and mischief, keeping the high spirit in the house.

Our struggles began when we had to leave our home and move in with my father-in-law. We stayed there for a month. Then, with alerts to flee from the north to the south, we headed to Deir Al Balah. Luckily, we found a dental clinic that contained us since November 2023 up until now.

During this time, we witnessed death in every possible way. The chaos in the streets, the constant fear of dying. There were countless nights when my kids couldn't sleep. We're struggling with starvation. It feels like we're slowly being killed. The water is polluted, and even finding it is a challenge. If we're lucky enough, we might come across a flour pack from aid. These crises keep hitting us day after day, but for how much longer? We used up our savings to make it this far, but it wasn't enough. Now, we're relying solely on aid, and I can see that soon, we won't be able to survive.

Today marks day number 182 of war. I've come to the realization that our only way to survive and live is by evacuating to Egypt. Unfortunately, we don't have the money needed for it. The cost of leaving is $5000 for each adult and $2500 for each child. Since we're 2 adults and 2 children, it will cost us $15,000 in total. We need this money to cover the expenses of evacuation. The money will be used to pay travel expenses through border.

I'm asking everyone with a compassionate heart to help us survive and start a new life in a place where we can find peace. I haven't lost faith in humanity yet. Your donations mean life for a family that is desperately hoping to exist.

Thank you.
