Urgent Appeal: Help My Famil Rebuild their Home in Gaza
Donation protected
Dear Supporter:
Salam and Peace to you. I hope this message finds you well.
Thank you so much for your incredible support. Because of your help, I was able to bring eight of my family members out of Gaza, including my mother, two of my sisters, and their children. They are currently receiving much-needed medical treatment in Egypt, and I am deeply grateful for your role in making this possible.
I am writing to you with a heartfelt plea for support during a time of profound need for my family. My childhood home in Rafah, where I was born and raised, has been tragically destroyed. This four-story building was not just a house; it was a sanctuary for my family—a home for my mother, my four brothers, and their children. Each floor of this building held cherished memories and was the center of our lives.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza has become increasingly dire. My family now face unimaginable challenges, with basic necessities like food, clean water, and medical care becoming harder to come by. The famine in Gaza is particularly devastating, with my family struggling to find enough to eat. I have heard firsthand about the scarcity of food supplies, the rising prices, and the growing desperation.
Children, including my nieces and nephews, are at severe risk of malnutrition, and hospitals are overwhelmed with patients. The situation is unbearable, and the trauma my family is experiencing is compounded by the constant fear of violence and displacement.

Two of my brothers, Mahmoud and Moath, ran small businesses from our home. Mahmoud had a barber shop, and Moath operated a grocery store. Both of these businesses were vital to our family's livelihood, but they are now lost.
My family members were forced to displace from our home in Rafah without proper shelter, without enough food, and without clean water. Their living conditions are extremely challenging, and we are struggling to meet their basic needs. They live in constant fear. Currently, they live in tents under dire conditions, with very limited access to lifesaving resources. The harsh living environment is taking a toll on their well-being and survival.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has left them vulnerable and in urgent need of assistance. The situation has only worsened over the past 10 months, with a dire shortage of lifesaving resources and reports of children dying from malnutrition.
My brother Anas, who recently graduated, has yet to start his professional career and is facing significant challenges in finding employment.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We urgently need your help to rebuild our family home. Your generous donation will be used directly to:
• Support basic needs: Funds will also help provide immediate necessities, such as food, water, and medical supplies for my family living in the tents.
• Construct a new, safe building: Rebuilding the house will provide a stable and secure environment for my family.
• Re-establish livelihoods: Your support will enable us to restore the small businesses that were lost, helping my brothers regain their financial independence.
Your urgent assistance is vital in restoring hope to my family by rebuilding their home.
HOW YOU CAN HELP?
As a family, we are doing everything we can to support them, but the need for emergency aid is urgent. Your contribution can help provide food, medical supplies, and relief to my family and the many others who are in desperate need. Please join me in providing life-saving assistance to those I love who are suffering in Gaza right now. Please consider donating and sharing this appeal with others.
A Closing Note :)
Your generosity means more to us than words can express. In our darkest moments, your support in these blessed days will provide us with strength and hope. My family and I are deeply grateful for your consideration and support during this challenging period. Together, we can make a difference and ensure the safety and well-being of my family members. We can portray the smiles again on the these beautiful faces.

Thank you for your generosity and solidarity.
