My name is Mahmoud Saad, and I’m 21 years old, from Gaza. I am reaching out today not out of desperation, but with a strong hope for a future that seemed impossible just days ago. I am a person who still clings to hope, and today, I ask for your support in rebuilding a life that was torn apart by violence and destruction.

Before October 7th, we had everything – a beautiful home, dreams for the future, and a peaceful life. I had a job as an air conditioning and refrigeration technician, providing for my family. But that all changed in a moment. Our dreams were reduced to ash. Our home was destroyed, and everything we knew was taken from us. Now, my family and I are living in tents under an open sky, with no food, no water, and no safety.

Each day is a struggle for survival. I wake up at dawn, searching for anything to light a fire so we can cook whatever scraps we have left. There’s no firewood, no facilities like others may have, and we make do with whatever we can find, even if it’s among the debris left behind. We don't have the luxury of choice; we’re just trying to survive.

I’m not asking for pity. I’m asking for humanity. We need help. My family deserves to dream again. We need warmth, food, and the chance to rebuild our future. Anything you can offer will make an enormous difference. Every little bit of support will help us move forward, piece by piece.

Please, help us reclaim what we’ve lost. Help us find hope in the midst of despair. May God bless those who reach out to help us, and may your kindness make a real difference in our lives.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
