Help us find safety ASAP
Focus with me please
You can change my whole life with your humanity and support
Every dollar counts and could help save a life
My name is Suhaib I am 19 years old I live with my married brother and his children and my father who was injured in the war and suffers from burns Before the war I was studying Information Technology at the Islamic University I carried dreams and goals and a future I was working hard for but everything changed on October 7 2023
The Israeli occupation destroyed my university completely
My home was also bombed, our only refuge
I lost everything, my room, my study desk, my laptop, my books
Since that day my life has turned upside down
I’m no longer focused on my education, I’m focused on surviving and helping my family survive
We’ve been displaced from one place to another, living with fear, hunger, and no stability
The psychological pain is hard to describe
Losing our home, running from airstrikes, and waking up every day not knowing what will happen next has destroyed any sense of safety
I’m not sharing this to make anyone feel sorry for me
I’m sharing it because I still believe there’s hope
I want to continue my studies, rebuild what I lost, and support my family but I can’t do it alone


My family and I are exhausted we are now living in my brother’s house which offers no real protection from the biting cold or the scorching sun I never imagined that one day I would find myself in such a situation We are also suffering from a lack of resources and food due to the continuous closure of the crossings At any moment we may be forced to flee to a tent in the south of Gaza because the area where my brother’s house is located is under immediate threat of evacuation

My father was injured in the war and is now suffering from burns on his hand. There is no medical equipment available to help him heal or ease his pain. I feel helpless and can’t do anything for him

- Even the last bag of flour is gone With the borders closed and prices soaring survival has become a daily struggle A single bag now costs $800 far beyond imagination It breaks my heart to see the children go without while I stand helpless

All I hope for now is for my family to get out of the circle of constant danger and fear and to complete my education, which stopped without any prospects in Gaza, so that one day I can help my family and my people and achieve my dreams.
I can’t wake up from this nightmare. Ive tried so many times, hoping it s just a bad dream.
How the funds will be used?
Please focus with me for a moment.
I have a life ahead of me and I want to complete my university studies I want to build my future
The contributions are received by my trusted friend Tarek in Canada who sends them to me directly through the Palestinian bank app Right now I need this support to buy food medicine and cover daily necessities just to stay alive
I want to have a house where I feel safe and stable. I also want to secure some money for after this nightmare ends, so I can continue my life, travel, and rebuild what’s left of myself.
• 15,000 CAD will be used for university studies.
• 60,000 CAD will be used to rebuild a new home.
• 10,000 CAD will be used for urgent monthly expenses.
Prices are unbelievably high, and I can’t live under these conditions.
Finally, thank you for your continued support for me and my family. I’m truly grateful to all of you, my friends, and I hope you’ll keep supporting us until this devastating war ends.
