Help Mahmoud Rebuild His Life — From the Ashes of War to Hop

Donation protected

Hello, I’m Mahmoud Al Mughanni
28-year-old software developer & computer engineering student from Al-Shajaiya, Gaza City, Palestine

My Family
I come from a family of six:
Father: Sobhi, living with diabetes and high blood pressure
Mother: Iman, also battling diabetes and hypertension
Older brother: Mohammad, a talented programmer who worked alongside me to support our family
Second brother: Ahmad, always standing by our side
Sister: Ruba, the youngest, whose dreams were shattered by the war

My Story

 I am writing to you with a heavy heart but an unbroken spirit. Before the war, I was living my dream:

“Working as a Flutter app developer, freelancing for international clients, and supporting my family through technology and hard work.”

I poured passion and dedication into every project—building not just a career, but a future for my parents, siblings, and myself.

The Tragedy
Then, in a single night, an airstrike destroyed our home and took everything I worked for:

-My laptop
-Internet access
-All my tools
-With them, my income and stability

My family and I have been left displaced—struggling without safe shelter, without electricity, and without the means to rebuild on our own.
