Hi, my name is Bassem Elsayed. I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my friend Omar. This is Omar story:

My name is Omar from G4z4 , a university student studying at the Palestine University of Information Technology in the fourth academic year and graduating from the university I had an ambition before the war to finish my university and get employed in my specialty in order to build my life and live.

We were living sweet days before the war, but the war came and destroyed our future. I had a home, friends, a job, a university, and good days. But then the war came and the house was bombed, and the workplaces was bombed, the friends were killed, and the university was bombed. Now nothing is left and our future is destroyed. After five months of displacement, my family and I have endured unimaginable levels of pain and destruction through the bombing campaign and genocide waged by Israel.

My family and I are struggling to get food, drink and other necessities and we are suffering from very cold weather conditions. My grandmother is elderly, my father, a retired electrician, suffers from heart problems and needs medication. One of my sisters has a baby and a toddler. We are barely able to find food or nappies for them.

Please donate any amount possible to help me and my family survive and get out of G4z4 and rebuild our lives.
