I am Iman from Gaza (Palestine), and I write these lines after careful thought. The urgency and necessity to save my family and myself exceeds my resilience.

How exhausting it is to survive death after we have lost so many people we love. My injured husband had a simple aluminum company. It took a lot of effort to complete that company until the occupation blew it up with the hatred of its missiles.

Now I find myself at a point of despair, and I urgently and humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my children, by getting us out of Gaza. The situation in Gaza has become unbearable due to slow deaths due to hunger, dehydration, displacement, the spread of disease and constant bombing.

Since October 7th, the incessant bombing in Gaza has left us homeless. My family has been displaced three times already. Currently, I, my children, and my husband are living in a tent under extremely inhumane conditions. There is a lack of food, electricity, water and a proper toilet, and the weather is cold and rainy.

The past months have been full of hell and horror. This war has gone on for too long, and our mental health and lives are in constant danger. We have reached a point where there is no longer any hope for us here in Gaza. We are just waiting to die. Even if a ceasefire is reached, the devastation in Gaza cannot be quickly repaired.

To cross the border between Gaza and Egypt at Rafah, our names must be included in the crossing list (paid permit). Coordinators in Egypt, who are authorized to add my family names to the list at the border, are now demanding between $7,000 and $8,000 per person! They will not add names until we can prove that we have the funds ready.

Unfortunately, our house was destroyed. I was able to take a video of it, and the sight of my house collapsing into ashes shattered my heart and any hope of seeing my children grow up here. The crises come one after the other.

Our source of livelihood has stopped, and even our most basic food needs, such as bread, have become extremely expensive. We cannot obtain it

Please help me get them out. I greatly appreciate any donation, no matter how small, that will make a significant contribution to alleviating our suffering. Please consider sharing my campaign with your family and friends to reach my goal as quickly as possible, because every second is a threat to life in Gaza. I will be forever grateful for your kind assistance in this difficult time.

** to update**

I would like to continue to inform you that it has been a year and three months that we have been living in very difficult circumstances. We were displaced again towards Khan Yunis and were forced to live in a destroyed and unlivable house, especially after we were very afraid to live in a tent after the bombing of tents in Al-Mawasi or what are called safe areas. There is no safe place in Gaza.

My hope remains that the borders from Gaza to Egypt will be reopened in Rafah soon. To include the names of my family, which consists of 8 people, I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for standing by our side in solidarity during this difficult time and for your positive impact on the lives of those affected. Your donations are a ray of light in this darkness and will help me save my family, rebuild the destroyed production line, and reach safety.

Thank you for your support and sympathy

I am collecting donations for my family because I lost everything because of this horrific war. Please take two minutes to read my story. I stand before you in complete helplessness and helplessness in the face of certain death. Please, I do not want to see my children die. I want to provide them with a life other than the one imposed on them.
