From Darkness to Hope: Help Ibraheem Abdelhadi and His Family Survive and Rebuild in Gaza

See Our Struggles on Instagram

Hello,

My name is Devlin, and I am sharing this on behalf of my friend Ibraheem Abdelhadi and his family in Gaza.

Just ten months ago, their family home was completely destroyed. Since then, they have been living in a modest rented apartment because they have nowhere else to go.

The rent alone costs $1,000 every month, including basic electricity and water. This doesn't even include food or any other necessities.

Life in Gaza has become unimaginably difficult.

The apartment does not have water. Most days, the family must fill and carry buckets of water from outside to have enough water for drinking, cooking, and washing.

Electricity is available only for short, unpredictable periods. Most of the day there is no electricity, which means no fridge, no internet, no fans, nothing. In this summer heat this is an extra misery. Every simple task has become a giant struggle.

Everything is getting more and more expensive. Food, medicine, transportation, electricity, water, and even the most basic necessities now cost several times more than before the war.

On top of it all the family has been torn apart.

Some of their relatives and one of Ibrahim's brothers remain in northern Gaza, while the rest of the family are displaced in the south. They have been separated by the war, unable to live and be together as a family.

Before the war, Ibraheem worked as a software engineer and was the primary provider for his family.

Today, despite more than 10 years of professional experience, he has been searching for a new job for over seven months without success.

The war destroyed not only their home but also their careers. Companies have closed, businesses have collapsed, and almost no one is hiring. Every day he continues applying for jobs, hoping someone will give him the opportunity to work again and support his family with dignity.

His sister Mariam, a pharmacist, also lost her livelihood after pharmacies and hospitals were destroyed and medicine became scarce.

His brother Abdullah, a dentist, can no longer practice because clinics have been severely damaged and reliable electricity is unavailable.

Their family's income disappeared completely almost overnight.

We Are Not Giving Up

We are not asking for luxury.

We are asking for the chance to survive.

We want to pay our rent, keep a roof over our heads, buy food and clean water, afford medicine, and continue searching for work until we can stand on our own again.

Every donation, no matter how small, helps us continue.

How Your Donation Helps

We are incredibly grateful to our dear friend Devlin for making it possible to receive donations. Without this support, we would have no way to ask the world for help.

After everything we have lost, your kindness reminds us that we have not been forgotten.

Your support gives our family hope that one day we can rebuild our lives.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
