Hello, my name is Roberta Bertelli and I live in Treviso, Italy. Years ago I create a fundrising to help a friend, a young woman, that had left Gaza, to find a hope for her future. She was able to continue her studies in another country and in the meantime help her family to support themselves. She worked hard, studying and working. But now, that she finally see the finish line, she face a major economic obstacle, so I create this fundrising to help her. I'll let her explain her situation: "My name is Jumana Mohammad Al-Najjar, and I am 24 years old. I graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry in Gaza in 2025. Despite all the difficult circumstances we went through, I held onto my dream until I was finally able to graduate — but my journey is not over yet. I lost my father in 2014, and I now live with my sick mother, who constantly needs medication and medical care. After the war and the harsh conditions we faced, we were forced to leave our home, and I became fully responsible for supporting our household on my own. I work more than one job just to cover our rent, daily expenses, and my mother’s treatment, but the income barely covers our basic needs. I can no longer afford the cost of the internship year required to complete my path and begin working as a dentist. The university requires $8,000 to complete my internship year — the final step standing between me and achieving my dream, benefiting from the years I spent studying, and building a future where I can support myself and my mother with dignity. I am writing these words with hope in God and in the kindness of compassionate people. Your support could help me complete this difficult stage and prevent all my years of hard work and education from being lost. Any support, no matter how small, can make a huge difference in my life. Thank you for your kindness and generosity." Since she doesn't have access to a bank IBAN, I will send her the money to Jordan, where she lives, via Western Union.

Hello, my name is Roberta Bertelli. I am from Treviso, Italy. I am in touch with some friends in Gaza that I am trying to help. For several years I sent them money to buy food and clothes. Primarily I am in contact with a young and generous woman named Asmaa, from Kahn Yunis. Since I've known her she's always tried to help the people around her. Now she asked me to create this fundrising to give her the means to save her children from hunger and death. This is a message frome her: "Gaza is not just a geographical location; it's a story suspended between life and death, where daily suffering transforms into a struggle for survival and a desperate search for a glimmer of hope. This is my true story, a story of immense suffering. I desperately hope you will help me and my children. My name is Asmaa, I am 33 years old, born in the Gaza Strip. I am a mother of four. Despite all the hardships we endured, we were displaced from Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip to Rafah. My children and I faced danger, humiliation, and insults. We were then displaced to the al-Mawasi area of ​​Khan Younis. I was holding my infant, who was only a few months old, along with my other children. We overcame unimaginable hardships. Here are some aspects of this suffering and our journey to escape. The agony of being trapped under rubble and the desperate pleas for help: Heartbreaking stories of families unable to rescue their loved ones trapped beneath the debris, where the blood of martyrs mingles with the rubble. Fleeing with my children under bombardment: Thousands of women have been displaced from their homes in the south, first to Rafah and then to the ports of Khan Younis, where life is being born in tents or UN-run schools, amidst a complete lack of basic medical care. A chronic siege: The residents of the Gaza Strip, besieged for years, live lives tossed about by war and poverty, making leaving a necessity for survival. The Journey Out: The Search for "Life" - The Expensive Exit Ticket: Some are forced to spend their savings, deal with brokers, or wait for lengthy and complicated coordination permits to leave through the Rafah crossing. It's a journey fraught with danger and waiting. The Hope of Survival: Palestinians don't leave Gaza in search of luxury, but it's often a forced departure to seek medical treatment for a sick person or to rescue children from the hell of war. I'm searching for one of these opportunities to save my children from death. We have nothing left here. We've lost everything. We have no homes or land left. We have nothing left. Perhaps we have some hope related to the issue of life: Despite the death, Gazans insist on securing their families' needs and searching for a better future. Leaving the Gaza Strip: Here, there are many painful stories of children and women who die waiting for permission to cross the border to leave Gaza. The story of leaving Gaza is a series of perpetual farewells, where a person leaves their home, their memories, and sometimes parts of their family, hoping to find a safe place, while their hearts remain attached to the alleys of Gaza. I hope you will help me leave. And my children are safe. Any support, however small, can make a big difference in my life. " Please help Asmaa and her children. All the money collected will be send to her through PayPal, since she does not have access to a bank account.
