<div>My name is Sara, and I am raising funds for the Hamdan family. I am a US citizen who has been an activist for much of my life. I will be overseeing the campaign, and will be responsible for making sure these monies get to people in Egypt to meet this family at the Rafah crossing. I was introduced to this family through social media campaigns, joining activists with people who need help, immediately.
</div>
<div>From left to right (pictured) they are Al-Yaman (1 year 4 months), Anas (11), Islam (mother), Nesma (9), Sana (5), and Ahmed (father). They are in Gaza, desperate to flee to Egypt. I have a close friend, locally, who is Egyptian American and she has contacts in Egypt. This is an attainable venture! The fees to cross are $5,000 per adult, and $2,500 per child under 16 years of age. The Hamdan family has lost everything- their home (air strikes), their orange/lemon/strawberry/olive farm (destroyed/bulldozed), their flock of chickens, and other pet birds, and Islam's architecture business. Ahmed worked as an employee of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, and as a supervisor regarding the mosques in Gaza.
</div>
<div>From here, I will let you read their story from the children, with the help of their father.
</div>
<div>_________________________
</div>
<div>Our father and mother provided the best possible means to achieve our dreams. They created a beautiful life for us. We lived a life full of happiness, joy and prosperity. Our mother, who is an architect, took great care of us. Sana was in kindergarten when the current troubles started, she loves singing, drawing, and swimming. Anas was in 6th grade, he was an excellent student who loves football and swimming. Nesma was in 4th grade. She enjoys drawing, reading and watching children's shows on television. For the past 7 months, she has stepped in to help her mother with anything she can, including the care of her youngest sibling, who is under 18 months old.
</div>
<div>It is very difficult to say that we have lost everything we have. It is like a recurring nightmare that we live, every day.
</div>
<div>We lost our home and farm. It was a warm, safe place that my Mom and Dad worked for ten years to build.
</div>
<div>On October 8, 2023, we were asked to leave the area in which we live and evacuate to other areas. We left and the area where we live was bombed, completely destroying our house. Both of our parents lost any and all income, and ever since, we have all been in a constant state of fear and terror. We have miraculously survived the bombings, thanks to God. The constant airstrikes and shelling have caused panic for all of us, we cannot bear the sounds of huge explosions. We were displaced again, this time to Khan Yunis in the south. We came to a refugee school. We have contracted diseases from contaminated food and water. Disease spreads rapidly because of overflowing sewage into the streets. Everywhere is crowded. Almost everything is destroyed.
</div>
<div>Our family wishes to raise funds to help us leave to Egypt. We only have what little we could carry with us, when we first left our home. All of us wish to return to school, and our parents want to rebuild our lives, in safety. 
</div>
<div>                  ______________________________
</div>
<div>These funds will be used to leave Gaza, into Egypt, and to secure living expenses for several months after.
</div>
