Support Atyea's Journey to a Safer Future
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Atyea, and I am 18 years old from Gaza. I was denied the opportunity to complete my education. I am writing my story to ask for help to leave the Gaza Strip and build a life abroad for my family. The only way to leave Gaza is to obtain coordination to cross the Rafah border between Gaza and Egypt, which is an expensive and difficult process due to the large number of people wanting to leave Gaza. Every time we go to the border to find out the cost, it varies: sometimes it is $5,000 per person, and sometimes it reaches $8,000 per person. Currently, the Rafah crossing is closed. If the crossing opens, I will be the first to leave Gaza.
This donation link is a glimmer of hope for me and my family to escape the ongoing genocide in Gaza. I never wanted to ask for money, but I am very grateful to anyone who has helped or is willing to help. I send many thanks and love to all of you from Gaza. Greetings to all, on behalf of my family and myself. I am writing this letter because my family is now living in tents without basic necessities. They are in a very difficult situation. Our family lost a three-story building that used to bring us all together.
My family in Gaza is still facing dire humanitarian conditions: they live in tents where the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. They suffer from food and water shortages in Mawasi, and the health conditions are terrible. Since the beginning of the war in Gaza, we have lost everything, and our lives have changed completely. I am asking for your help because it is the only way to save the life and future of my family.
