<div>My name is Raed Ayyad, and I am a father to six incredible children, each a beacon of hope and joy in my life. I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart, hoping to share our story in the hopes of finding support and compassion during this incredibly challenging time.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before the war tore through our lives, we were a happy family living in the vibrant city of Gaza, nestled in the neighborhood of Shujaiya.
</div>
<div>Our home was more than just a structure; It was the heart of our family, a place filled with love, laughter, and dreams for the future.
</div>
<div>I worked tirelessly in various charitable organizations like CHF and WFP , driven by a deep sense of duty to uplift and support the less fortunate in our community.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>My wife, Fatima, worked as a teacher, specializing in information technology and mobile application programming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, all of this came to a halt, and we lost our source of income.

<div>But then, the unimaginable happened.
</div>
<div>War descended upon our neighborhood, unleashing chaos and destruction with unforgiving ferocity.
</div>
<div>Our once vibrant streets were reduced to rubble, and our home in Shujaiya was no exception.
</div>
<div>In an instant, everything we had worked so hard for, everything we held dear, was mercilessly ripped away from us.
</div>
<div>We were left homeless, displaced, and completely shattered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, we find ourselves living in the shadows of our former life, seeking refuge in a cramped and dilapidated room in Rafah.
</div>
<div>The walls, once filled with the laughter of our children, now echo with the haunting silence of displacement.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every night, as I watch my children huddle together on threadbare blankets, their eyes filled with a mixture of fear and resilience, my heart breaks anew.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79151639_1711567881358561_r." width="100%" />
<div>My daughters Hala and Layan from Shelter in Rafah.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The constant bombardment has instilled a deep sense of fear in the hearts of my children. They tremble at the sound of explosions, their innocence overshadowed by the terrifying reality of war.
</div>
<div>And amidst this fear, there is the constant dread of being displaced again, of having to flee to an unknown place, leaving behind everything they know and love.
</div>
<div>Despite the harsh realities of our situation, my greatest concern remains the well-being and future of my children.
</div>
<div>The war not only stole their home but also robbed them of their right to education and stability. Each day is a battle against despair as we struggle to provide even the most basic necessities for our children.
</div>
<div>But in the midst of this darkness, there is still hope. My children, with their unwavering spirit and determination, cling to their dreams of a better tomorrow. They dream of returning to school, of pursuing their passions, of building a future filled with promise and opportunity.
</div>
<div>Yet, we cannot do it alone. We are in desperate need of assistance to rebuild our shattered lives and provide a sense of security and stability for our children. Your generous donations will be used to rebuild our destroyed home, assist us in living under these challenging conditions, and support the education of my children.
</div>
<div>I am humbly reaching out to you, hoping that you will open your hearts to our plight and offer whatever support you can. Your kindness and generosity will not only provide much-needed relief but also serve as a beacon of hope in our darkest hour.

<div>Excerpts from our daily lives during war in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>اسمي رائد، وأنا أب لستة أطفال رائعين، كل واحد منهم شعلة من الأمل والفرح في حياتي. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>أتوجه إليكم اليوم بقلب مثقلا بالهموم وأود مشاركة قصتنا على أمل العثور على الدعم والتعاطف خلال هذه الفترة الصعبة بشكل لا يصدق.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>قبل أن تمزق الحرب حياتنا، كنا عائلة سعيدة نعيش في مدينة غزة النابضة بالحياة، في حي  الشجاعية .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>كان منزلنا هو قلب عائلتنا، مكان مليء بالحب والضحك والأحلام للمستقبل.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>عملت بجد في مختلف المنظمات الخيرية مثل CHF و WFP، مدفوعًا بشعور عميق بالواجب لمساعدة الفقراء  ودعم الأقل حظًا في مجتمعنا.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>كانت زوجتي، فاطمة، تعمل كمعلمة، متخصصة في تكنولوجيا المعلومات وبرمجة تطبيقات الهواتف المحمولة.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ولكن بعد ذلك، حدثت الأمور التي لا يمكن تصورها.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>اندلعت الحرب في غزة ، مفجرة الفوضى والدمار بقسوة لا ترحم.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>تم تدمير شوارعنا النابضة بالحياة مرة واحدة، ومنزلنا في شجاعية لم يكن استثناءً لقد دمر بالكامل وتحول إلى ركام . 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>تركنا بلا مأوى، مشردين، ومكسورين تمامًا.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>الآن، نجد أنفسنا نعيش في ظلال حياتنا السابقة، نبحث عن ملجأ في غرفة ضيقة ومهترئة في رفح بعد عدة جولات نزوح. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>كل ليلة، وأنا أرى أطفالي يتجمعون معًا على بطانيات متهالكة، أعينهم مليئة بمزيج من الخوف والحيرة ، قلبي ينكسر من جديد. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>القصف المستمر أشعل الخوف في قلوب أطفالي. يرتجفون عند سماع الانفجارات، براءتهم تظل مظلمة بواقع الحرب المرعب.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>وفي وسط هذا الخوف، هناك الرهبة المستمرة من التشرد مرة أخرى، من الاضطرار إلى الفرار إلى مكان غير معروف، تاركين كل ما يعرفونه ويحبونه خلفهم.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>وعلى الرغم من الواقع القاسي لوضعنا، فإن أكبر قلق لدي يبقى هومستقبل أطفالي وتعليمهم .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>لم تسرق الحرب فقط منا منزلنا، بل سرقت أيضًا حقهم في التعليم والاستقرار. كل يوم هو معركة ضد اليأس ونحن نكافح لتوفير أبسط الضروريات حتى لأطفالنا.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ولكن في وسط هذا الظلام، لا يزال هناك أمل. نتشبت به  و بأحلامهم في غدٍ أفضل. يحلمون بالعودة إلى المدرسة، ومتابعة شغفهم، وبناء مستقبل مليء بالوعود والفرص والنجاة بهم إلى بر الأمان
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ولكننا لا نستطيع القيام بذلك بمفردنا. نحن بأمس الحاجة إلى مساعدة لإعادة بناء حياتنا المحطمة وتوفير شعور بالأمان والاستقرار لأطفالنا. ستستخدم تبرعاتكم السخية لمساعدتنا في الصمود هذه الفترة ولإعادة بناء منزلنا المهدم و ايجاد الفرص المناسبة لتعليم ابنائي .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>وجزاكم الله عنا خير الجزاء وجعله في ميزان حسناتكم  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>مع كامل الشكر والتقدير
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
