Stop please 🛑 ✋🏼
Hello everyone 👋🏻🍉
Hello people , I’m Yossef Ezz Eldeen Abo Steta , I’m 24 years old , I’m from Gaza , me and my family of 12 person evacuated from Gaza to south Gaza Strip during the war .
I want to help my self and my family , so I will tell you my sad story
Before the war we had a great life full of pleasure and blessings , we had a beautiful , warm and big house , but unfortunately our house was damaged due to the ongoing Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip.
Also I worked as an accountant in a company , but the company stopped its work due to the war , and I remained without a source of income.
I have a bachelor's degree in business administration but there’s no jobs to apply for because of the lack of jobs and the inability to go out at any time.
Also before the war I was about to marry my fiancee , her name is Ruba Khaled Khader , we had planned to have our wedding in February 2024 but because of the war we haven’t gotten married yet and all our dreams of living a happy life have been shattered
Also my fiancée's house was destroyed and burned by the Israeli occupation and all her new wedding clothes were burned and she has nothing left.
My fiancée and I don't see each other very often because she and her family evacuated to a place far from where I live and the transportation is difficult and expensive.
It has been 2 years since I engaged my fiancée and we want to get married but we don’t have a place to live in and we don’t have the means to live.
And my fiancée is studying software engineering at Al-Ahar University and the university started an online education and I have to pay to the university so she can complete her education but I don’t have money or a source of income or a work to pay for her education.
So please, I ask you not to stay away from our urgent appeal. Your support can make a big difference in our lives. Let us unite, and show the world the power of sympathy and solidarity in times of inhumanity. Together, we can rebuild, restore, and formulate a future full of hope and freedom. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your steadfast support in this urgent matter.

Help Hamed and Family from Gaza
Dear friends, My name is Hamed, and I am communicating with you during one of the most difficult times that my family and I are facing, due to the harsh conditions caused by the Zionist bombing of Gaza and witnessed by the whole world. Our lives were turned upside down due to the devastating impact of the conflict in Gaza. We lost all our money and property. The result of the horrific genocide.
https://gofund.me/dfab254c
The most recent targeting by the occupation in Gaza was our home and my workplace, the Takween Medical Training Foundation. Everything became rubble, we became homeless. We lost all our money and possessions as a result of the horrific extermination. We left our home without clothing or food, only a small bag containing some summer clothes, and now we have nothing.
As a result of the devastation, we find ourselves without shelter, without basic necessities, and without a source of income to rebuild our lives. The situation is serious, and we urgently need help to ensure the safety of our family.
Every donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in helping us rebuild our home and restore stability to our lives. Your support will not only help us recover from this tragedy, but will also provide us with the hope and strength we need to move forward.
We are extremely grateful for any assistance you can provide, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for answering our call for support during this difficult time.

Please share and spread this. Ahmed, Abedelrahman, and their family need help evacuating from Gaza to Egypt. They are pleading for help to escape the dire situation they are facing. With their father tragically passing away, it has left them with added burdens.
If you can, please consider donating and helping them reach their goal to evacuate to Egypt.

Hello Dear
My name is Tahseen Alkhazendar from Gaza City - Tal-Alhawa Area . As you are reading my message, my wife, 3 little children, and I are sitting in the north of Gaza City, starving with no food, water, or money. Every morning, my wife and I feel heart broken and disabled, when our children wake up asking us for food which we don't have and unable to provide to them at this time in Gaza.
Before October 7th, I was a successful business man who owned a driving school and graduated from the business management school. I worked hard to secure a decent and happy life to my family, and did my best to raise my children with dignity, pride, and respect. However, once the aggression started on Gaza, we were forced to evacuate our house and left everything behind. I struggle every single day to secure 1 single meal for my children. Specially my older son, Ibrahim, who suffers from the Celiac disease and needs a special food which I am unable to find in Gaza at this current time.
Unfortunately everything I owned is completely lost after my house and business got bombed and destroyed. We are currently suffering slow death in Gaza, sharing a small apartment with other families and living a devastating life.
It would mean so much if you could take a look at my GoFundMe and donate for my family🙏. By sharing and donating, you are helping me, my wife, and 3 children to survive the ravages of famine and genocide. You will give us hope to rebuild our home, and reclaim some of the life which was stolen from us.
Please donate and share/replog with others 🙏 🥺🙏.
Please be certain that any contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference in our lives 🥺. Thanks in advance for your kindness and support and may God bless you and your family 🙏.🙏.
Sincerely, Tahseen
