We Lost Our Home In Gaza And My Father And I Lost Our Source Of Income And Now We Live On Aids.

dear followers, i'm writing on the behalf of a woman, a sister, a mother, a grandmother, named wafaa who has been speaking to me on tumblr from the dire situation in gaza. i'm here to share her story, her plight with you, her campaign with you so you can help her. her house has been bombed, the place she grew up, her place of work, her husband's place of work has been bombed, where her children grew up, her family (three generations of people, which is 15 people including a newborn infant) doesn't have anywhere to go.

she has already lost precious people in her life, lost precious people who were her world, her sister, her brother's son... she can't bear to lose any more people than she already has! she is already wracked with a grief and sadness i genuinely cannot even begin to comprehend. none of us can. yet she still has hope in god that through us, people across the world, can help her family escape this situation. let us not let her down.

i know you're all struggling with money right now. already struggling with bills and food. but donate what you can afford, still. even if it's just a single dollar! because it all adds up, it all adds up in the end. when wafaa first contacted me i believe her campaign was at around €13,000 out of €50,000, but now it is at €21,465! it all adds up. we can keep this going, with donation matches, by spreading this campaign, sharing even if you can't donate. so please. help her family, with whatever little you can.

And that is the reality, my family has lost there only income, my dad had has construction factory, but it is crushed right now by the Israeli army

My dad cannot pay us the university fees anymore. But we insist to complete our learning to the end, to be that hero doctors for our beloved Gaza. We are the last hope for our family.

We study in Egypt at Zagazig University, We are 1st year medical students, 4 years still to go.

12,000 USD$ for the 4 years per one,

24,000 USD$ for both of us.

And we must pay the fees before the end of the year, otherwise we will pay fine.

Also, Sadly, since there’s no life in Gaza anymore, no schools, no universities, no hospitals, no medications, even no streets to walk in, no clear air, We decided to evacuate our family to be able for them to continue their lives as humans, to get their simplest rights Since there’s no jobs, no income, no at least 1$, They are living on assistance. You are the hope for them, your 1$ donation is one step toward the life from death.

I'm Abdelrahman, 22 years old. My journey has been marked by loss and resilience. When I was 18, my father passed away from COVID-19. Determined to build my own future, I pursued an education in multimedia technology, balancing my studies with work to cover my expenses. I was preparing to establish my home and life.

My mother: the princess whom we strive to make happy and satisfy. ❤️️

However, the war in Gaza, especially in the north, brought devastating tragedy. My home, university, job, and family were all destroyed in the conflict. While my family moved to the south, I was in the north, facing famine and moving from place to place, trying to survive.

Our street used to be lively and full of people, but it is no longer like that.

I have witnessed countless difficult and painful scenes while escaping death multiple times. In northern Gaza, life is reduced to a cycle of fleeing from danger and searching for food amidst the rubble of destroyed homes.

I have survived many times,I was hit by a missile in previously destroyed house

This picture is enough to show our suffering in getting flour to survive.

My dream is to travel abroad with my mother and sister to continue my education and develop my practical skills. For the past eight months, I have been unemployed, focusing on self-improvement and hoping for a better future.

Your help can save a family from death, it can save a dream, an ambition, or a success, so please help me by donating or publishing my story so that I can save my family.

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.

Here is a description of the daily hardships we face:

- Imagine enduring 273 days without electricity, experiencing harsh winters and scorching summers without power.

- Our mornings begin with a struggle to find potable water, which is scarce and expensive when available.

- Cooking becomes a challenge as we rely on firewood due to the lack of gas, adding to the discomfort of high temperatures and the heat from the fire.

- Acquiring basic necessities like bread and food has become difficult, with vegetables available only at inflated prices. Furthermore, sources of income are limited.

- Access to medicine is severely restricted due to the closure of crossings, compounding our hardships.

- We endure the constant noise of aircraft flying overhead 24 hours a day, coupled with the fear of nearby shelling and the constant threat of losing loved ones.

My campaign is progressing slowly, and I have not yet achieved my goal.

I would be grateful for any support, no matter how small.

A small donation could make a big difference for my family.
