Hello everyone, this is Manar Ahmed from Gaza. I'm 22 years old, and I was in my fourth year of studying pharmacy. I had been eagerly looking forward to completing my studies in the remaining two years, but after October 7th, there were no more dreams or aspirations. The losses of war were devastating for us. My siblings and I have been forced to reconsider our dreams of attending university and school, as the educational institutions have been destroyed. Additionally, our home, once a refuge, now feels like a prison surrounded by destruction and despair.

 

We've reached a point where we can no longer see a way forward in Gaza. The constant fear of bombardment, shells, and chemical substances being thrown at us, coupled with uncertainty, has taken a toll on our mental, emotional, and physical health. We've lost hope for a better future within this city.

 

That's why we're seeking help. Because we need to leave Gaza and start anew in a safe place where we can rebuild our lives and regain the sense of security and stability we've lost. But we can't do it alone. Your generosity won't just help us escape war and despair; it will also give us a chance to dream again, to strive for our aspirations, and to rebuild what we've lost.

 

Through your generous contributions, we aim to raise $206,300 to facilitate our transition and start a new life in a safer environment. This amount will cover our travel expenses, the costs of finding a safe shelter for us, and will enable us to support the resumption of our education and that of my siblings.

 

My family consists of 21 members, and the coordination price to leave Gaza per person is $5,000-10,000. Since we don't have passports, we must pay $10,000 per person. 

10,000 x 16 = $160,000.

4 kids 

4 × 2500 = $10,000.

Total = $ 170,000 (just to leave Gaza)

 Additionally, for starting a new life, we need approximately $30,000 to establish a new life including education and finding a safe shelter for 21 people.
