Hello, I'm maryam , an engineer from Gaza Palestine. I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read my story. As you reading my message, myself and my family, “my mother, father, and two sisters” are fighting death in northern Gaza and trying to survive under all kinds of suffering including but not limited to destruction, fear, and instability, starvation, and thirst.

My family members are highly educated and come from different backgrounds. My father is a lawyer, my mother is a housewife, and my first sister an administrator ,the second is a lawyer.

However since October 7th, our life turned upside down, darkness prevailed, all hopes and dreams quickly vanished. Our once peaceful neighborhood has been devastated by relentless bombings, leaving our home, and our workplaces destroyed.

However, we were unable to receive any financial or food assistance for the displaced and this meant that me and my family would be responsible for all expenses.

For eighteen months until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 15 to 20 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking. We lacked security and stability as we were forced to evacuate our house and left everything behind. Then we had to move at least 10 times since every new area we seek refuge to gets bombed.

We are raising funds in order to be able to pay the rising cost of basic necessities here especially because the cost of survival became astronomical.

your generous support and donation will help provide the basic needs needed for me and my family under these difficult circumstances. It will also give us hope that there is a better future waiting for us once the war stops Insha’Allah.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will be deeply appreciated. Your kindness will serve as a beacon of light guiding us through these dark times, reminding us that even in the face of adversity, compassion and solidarity prevail.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion and support.

We ask God to bless you and your families and to protect you all from all calamities and to never make you feel or go through what we are going through.

Thank you for making a difference in my life.

Sincerely,

Maryam

Our house and neighborhood

Our daily suffering to get food and water
