My name is Naomi. I am located in US and I’m fundraising for Rossette’s family in Gaza. Rosette’s husband was murdered and she is struggling to take care of herself and her kids. This is her story unedited below.
I am Rosette from Gaza, I am 32 years old, I have three children, Ramzi, Mohammed and Adam, they have become orphans. I say this word and my heart breaks for my husband, Shadi, who was not only a husband, he was our protector, our hope and the provider for my family. We were living a beautiful life until the damned war came and took everything from us. It took our home and my husband’s place of work. We were displaced from one place to another to protect ourselves. We lived in tents and it was a life like hell. There were none of the necessities of life and the war did not stop there. My children went hungry. We did not eat bread for days. My children cried day and night from hunger and we did not know what to do. When my husband saw my children collapsing from hunger, he went to the aid area, and this area was like hell. He went to bring them food and came back with an injury in his stomach. He entered the hospital and underwent many operations. He cut his stomach and opened the area next to the heart and under the lungs. There were no facilities in the hospital and no treatments. My husband suffered from very painful pain and my heart was broken because I could not do anything for him and I asked for help to get treatment. But my husband could not hold out. He left us and was martyred. I say these words and my heart breaks for him. Now I am alone in this life, broken, with no one to support my family, and my children have become orphans without a father to protect and feed them. Now I am thinking about my children. Please help me feed my children and protect them from this terrifying life. Please save us.
