<div>Hello,
</div>
<div>My name is Mohammed, and I’m a 24-year-old Software QA Engineer from Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Before the War: A Glimpse of My Life as a Software QA Engineer in Gaza</strong>
</div><iframe media_type="0" media_id="P-tEaCNTrEo" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/P-tEaCNTrEo/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just a few days before the war began on October 7, 2023, I got engaged to the love of my life — Noor Al-Huda.
</div>
<div>It was a time full of hope and dreams for a better future.
</div>
<div>But just five days later… everything changed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Day of Our Joy</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div>This photo was taken on the happiest day of our lives — the day we got engaged.
</div>
<div>We were full of hope, love, and dreams of a peaceful future together.
</div>
<div>We never imagined that just days later, everything would be taken from us.
</div>
<div>Today, we hold on to this moment as a reminder of love, resilience, and the family we’re still fighting to build — for ourselves, and for our daughter Sahar who is about to be born.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/92097429_1751015996617761_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>We Lost Everything</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We lost our home in **Khan Younis – Abasan Al-Kabira**, the place where we had just started our married life.
</div>
<div>The home we dreamed would hold our family… is now rubble.
</div>
<div>We lost shelter, safety, and peace — all in an instant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Worse, Noor lost her beloved father in this war.
</div>
<div>We became displaced, without income, without food, without stability — trying to survive in unbearable conditions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>A Baby on the Way… and Nothing to Welcome Her</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div><iframe media_type="0" media_id="x3hjLIf45to" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/x3hjLIf45to/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite all the pain, we got married during the war.
</div>
<div>Soon after, Noor became pregnant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I write this on June 24, Noor is now in her ninth month of pregnancy.
</div>
<div>Our daughter, **Sahar**, could arrive any day now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we are completely unprepared:
</div>
<div>• No baby supplies
</div>
<div>• No safe place to live
</div>
<div>• No food
</div>
<div>• No income
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our savings are gone. Prices have doubled or tripled.
</div>
<div>We barely afford basic needs — let alone preparing for childbirth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong> About Noor – A Future Stolen</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Noor is more than just a mother-to-be.
</div>
<div>She is brilliant, ambitious, and full of light.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She graduated in 2023 — **top of her class** — with a degree in Primary Education.
</div>
<div>She had just been selected to teach at her university — a dream she worked so hard to achieve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But the war stole her future, her father, and her chance to live in peace.
</div>
<div>Now, she carries our baby through grief, hunger, and fear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> We Are Asking for the Bare Minimum</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are not asking for luxury.
</div>
<div>We are simply asking for your help to welcome Sahar into this world with dignity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will help us:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Buy baby supplies (clothes, diapers, milk)
</div>
<div>• Afford basic food and hygiene essentials
</div>
<div>• Cover medical care for delivery
</div>
<div>• Secure temporary shelter
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Every Contribution Counts</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are holding onto hope, but we cannot do this alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please — help us survive.
</div>
<div>Help us bring Sahar into this world with love, not fear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, every share, every prayer…
</div>
<div>means the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With all our gratitude,
</div>
<div><strong>Mohammed &amp; Noor</strong>
</div>
