<div>My name is Emily and I know Mohran as a dear friend.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have the utmost respect for his courage and steadfast spirit during these difficult times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mohran’s strength is inspiring, a survivor of genocide who now stands tall with his family to rebuild Gaza’s future, with his parents ,his siblings their partners and all their grandchildren, awaiting for what the future holds.
</div>
<div>During the 15 months of ethnic cleansing, they sought refuge in Gaza’s churches.
</div>
<div>He contemplated leaving for Australia in search of safety, but now his ultimate desire is to rebuild and secure a future for his family.
</div>
<div>Their dream is that one day their lives will be peaceful and free of turmoil.
</div>
<div>The fear Mahran and his family have endured are beyond imagination of a horror film. They were mandated  to abandon their homes and were forcibly evicted.
</div>
<div>Here is Mahran’s statement detailing their suffering and their desperate pleas for a chance at a new life:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Starting anew requires significant financial resources; These are currently unattainable
</div>
<div>funds due to the total loss we have suffered:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‎After 471 days  extermination on the Gaza Strip, specifically from northern Gaza ,we salute the reverence and respect the steadfastness of our great heroic Palestinian people,
</div>
<div>‎O Gaza, your shining sun will surely return to shine everywhere.
</div>
<div>Sadly, in the process, my workplace was destroyed and burnt; I realized that my job was gone, and my dreams were shattered. A few days after the war began on our people , my family's home and my home were completely demolished. My brothers' homes were bombed , as were our cars.
</div>
<div>‎After the church was targeted with rockets and my family was removed from under the rubble, we were displaced to the neighboring church.
</div>
<div>‎Due to the ongoing conflict and destruction, not long before our new shelter was besieged, resulting in many people inside the church being injured, we found ourselves trapped in the building with little food and water,
</div>
<div>‎. The fear and uncertainty we faced was overwhelming. The situation is still horrific.
</div>
<div>‎Even the shelters inside the church were attacked. The misery continues to this day. Now we lack the basics of life; no water, no electricity, no medicine, no hospitals, no gas or fuel, no communications, no internet. Diseases are spreading due to the conditions and the decomposing bodies in the streets.
</div>
<div>We have almost lost hope, but I believe we should not despair. With your help, we can try to succeed. We can survive and provide a decent life for my family. Honestly, this is a real struggle that no human being should go through.
</div>
<div>We need to buy medicine for my father, who suffers from chronic diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure).
</div>
<div>Dear friends, we share our true personal story and we hope and believe in your support. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a profound difference for us. We wish to live in peace and security, leaving fear, doubt and disappointment behind us . We seek tranquility to fill our hearts and an encouraging future ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‎We are not asking for charity but a lifeline. Your support will enable us to rebuild our lives from scratch. The money raised will go towards rebuilding part of our home to accommodate all of us, purchasing necessities such as building materials, food, replacement clothing, mattresses, blankets to cover medical expenses, and everything else that will help us stay on our land until we regain our future stronger than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your generosity will give us hope for a brighter future and the strength to carry on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion and generosity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Mohran
</div>
