Evacuate Abood's family from Gaza to safety

Dear all,

My name is Abood El-Hossini and I am a Palestinian engineer from the Gaza Strip. Gaza is the place I have called home for all my life; Gaza is my childhood and adulthood!

I worked for years as a biomedical engineer in the medical field passionately. I have assisted international NGOs and hospitals around the Gaza Strip, which has always felt like a positive way for me to support my community and home.

4 years ago, Leyan, the love of my life, and I started our little family. We were blessed to have our two-year-old baby boy. We had countless memories in our little sweet home in Gaza. We worked day and night to save every penny to buy our apartment, which turned into rubbles after the 7th of October as you can see in the photos. we were also forced to flee to the south, leaving everything we had built behind us under life-threatening conditions.

Words rarely fail me, but these past few weeks and months have been indescribable. The amount of tragedies and losses has been unbearable, to say the least. I think of “loss” when I think of Gaza.

We created this campaign to help us survive at this unbearable time. We lost everything including our sources of income and spent all our savings in fleeing from one place to another. My goal now is to start a new life for my family, especially my son, where he can access his basic rights and most importantly safety.

Any amount will help my family and I work towards this goal. Please share with friends, it would mean the world to us!
