Support Fadwa's Life Rebuild After Family Loss

Donation protected
Please read this as if you were a member of my family, perhaps my sister, daughter, or friend. Imagine that my family, who is now facing death, is your family

"My name is Fadwa, I am an architect from Gaza. I have one daughter named Celine. I had a beautiful family; they were my whole life: my mother, my father, my sisters Nermeen and Maram, and my brothers Abood and Firas. I lived a peaceful life and had big dreams and ambitions.
Since the war in Gaza began, I lost everything in a moment. On November 7th of last year, I lost 30 members of my family, including my mother, my father, my sister Nermeen, and my brother Abood, in one second. One missile was enough to end the lives of my family and my mother’s entire family, including my aunt, her husband, their children, and many relatives. None of them survived.
My loss in the war did not stop at losing my family; my family's home, my home, and my architectural office, which was my only source of income, were destroyed. Now, I am without a family, without a home, and without a job.
I had introduced myself earlier, and my life was calm and full of passion, ambitions, and goals. But now it has turned into sorrow over the loss of my entire family. It didn’t stop there; my family was directly targeted, and only my sister Maram remains. Her wedding was supposed to be on 11/11/2024, but she is now paralyzed due to her extremely poor health condition and urgently needs treatment abroad.

Nearly 7 months after this genocide, the Gaza borders remain closed, and no one can leave except by paying a large sum of money to save their life and cross the Rafah border to reach Egypt. Crossing the Rafah border costs about $7,000 to $9,000 per person, making it seem impossible to afford this huge amount just to get to Egypt.

So, this is how the funds will be spent:

* About $7,000 per member of my small family to cross the Rafah border and reach Egypt safely.
* About $6,000 to cover GoFundMe transaction fees (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction).
* The remaining funds will be used for housing, food, and other needs for a period of time in Egypt.

Asking for your help is the only hope I have to save the lives of my family and siblings and their future. In these harsh circumstances, your assistance could be the light in the darkness of our lives. Every dollar you can contribute could save a life, bring hope to weary hearts, and save the future of young people who deserve to live.

Please, do not read this story as a passing tragedy. I am here to ask you to prevent this pain from worsening and to help us start a new life. I am not just asking for your sympathy; I am asking for your actual help. Whether by donating or sharing this story with everyone you know who can help. Read this with your heart and take action as if it were your family, your siblings, living under these conditions. Your help could be the difference between despair and hope, between darkness and light.
