Hello everyone.

To everyone who knows me and those who don't, I am Mohammed, a Palestinian from Gaza. I belong to a family of six: me, my parents, my sister Aseel, my brother Issa and my grandmother, who suffers from cancer.

After I was a young man in the prime of life, supposed to be taking my college exams and paving my way to a future, fulfilling my dream of becoming my own person, I found myself and my family in the middle of a war. We have been living in displacement and homelessness for nearly a year and a half, suffering from the scarcity of food and medicine.

We can barely meet our basic needs. I spend my days collecting firewood and searching for food and clean drinking water, amidst the pollution we live in in Gaza, in order to help my family.

I never thought of asking people, but all I have left is you. You are our only hope for rebuilding our lives and providing for our basic needs. Please don't leave us alone. Every penny makes a difference in my life and the life of my family.
