My name is Abdelmajed Elderawi, and I am writing to you from Gaza, where life has become an unimaginable struggle. Our days are filled with uncertainty, and the hope for a better future feels like a distant dream.
The war has left deep scars on my family and me. Weāve endured the heartbreaking loss of 25 loved onesāeach one a light extinguished too soon. Their absence is a pain I carry every day, and I often find myself lost in memories of the laughter and joy they brought into our lives.
Life in Gaza Today: šĀ Overwhelming Loss:Ā The pain of losing so many family members is impossible to describe. š½ļøĀ Barely Getting By:Ā Even basic necessities like food and water are becoming harder to afford. š Ā No Safe Shelter:Ā Our homes, once our refuge, now feel fragile and unsafe. šĀ Dreams on Hold:Ā The pursuit of education and opportunities has been replaced by the constant fight for survival.
Your Support Gives Us Hope: This isnāt just about financial helpāitās about knowing that someone, somewhere, cares. Your kindness can be a source of strength for us, a reminder that weāre not alone in this fight.
Iām not asking for muchājust a little hope, a little relief, and a chance to keep moving forward. Your generosity, in any form, can make a difference in ways you might not even imagine.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my story. Your kindness means more than words can express.
With heartfelt gratitude, Abdelmajed ā¤ļø
