Help Evacuate My Family from Gaza
Donation protected
Dear friends and compassionate individuals,
My name is Mohammed, a Palestinian from Gaza. I am writing to you today with a heavy heart, hoping to shed light on the challenges my family and I face amidst dire living conditions.
Our journey was one of perseverance and hope, as we worked diligently to build a future filled with promise. However, on the fateful day of October 7th, our world was turned upside down. In the blink of an eye, we lost our family's home, and with it, our sense of security and stability.
Moreover, the impact of this loss extends beyond the confines of our physical dwelling. My sister, a bright and ambitious student, had been granted a scholarship to study in Turkey. However, without a home to return to, she stands to lose this invaluable opportunity for education and growth.
With major loss, we are also forced to dire conditions that don’t discriminate. My 76-year-old father, who is a diabetic patient, my 67-year-old mother, and my sister have been forced to move to the south of Gaza with nothing.
Their current situation is beyond severe. They are struck with hunger, deprived of clean water, electricity, and internet access. Medical care remains insufficient, exacerbating my father's diabetes condition. They have witnessed firsthand the devastation, loss, and death that has become a horrifying reality. The constant sounds of bombs haunt them day and night, leaving deep emotional and psychological scars that cannot be easily healed in these conditions.
I humbly ask for your support in saving my elderly parents. They are struggling to obtain their necessary medications and medical care. I fear for their health and well-being. My ultimate goal is to ensure they can access their basic needs of medical care and safety. In order to help my parents evacuate, leaving Gaza requires a permit costing $5,000 for each to cross into Egypt. They also need assistance with other expenses such as clothes and medications, rent apartment and basic needs of everyday living.
In addition, my sister's circumstances are equally dire to those of my father and mother, as she faces the risk of forfeiting her university scholarship for a master's degree in Turkey if she does not enter Turkish territory within the next month, along with being subjected to a $2000 fine for tardiness and non-compliance
I earnestly appeal to your compassionate hearts to help me save my aging parents. Any contribution, big or small, will make a tremendous difference in their lives. Your support will provide them with a chance to live safely, regain their health, and find a semblance of stability.
On behalf of my family, I express my deepest gratitude for your attention and consideration. Please join me in this endeavor to provide my parents with the safety, care, and dignified life they deserve.
Thank you for your kindness and consideration!
