Starting from the middle of the rubble
My name is Hazem Jouda, I am 20 years old and I have spent my life in Gaza since birth.
My life was filled with happiness and comfort until October 7th when the war in Gaza began, bringing tragedy to me and my family. Initially, I was studying IT at one of Gaza's prestigious universities (Islamic University), but the war disrupted my studies in my third year.
This led me to start a campaign to collect donations after much thought, as it wasn't easy for me and my family, as rebuilding my future is my right.
The war stole my academic certificate, and not only that, my family and I lost our own home and our own business, which was our only source of income. We had a well-known shop for making and selling oriental sweets in Khan Yunis city, which my father dedicated his efforts and life to establish in 2013. The occupation destroyed it, and I, along with my siblings, lost our jobs, leaving me unemployed and without any source of income.
I will attach pictures of our shop before and after the war.
Everything changed on October 7th, when the tragedy struck. Within a week, we were forced to flee our home after it was heavily shelled, leaving with nothing but the clothes on our backs. After days, we received news that it had been destroyed, along with our memories.
My family and I struggle to survive amidst extremely inflated prices and needs despite having no income at all.
I will also attach pictures of our house after the war.
Despite the challenges I face, I remain determined to continue my education and achieve my aspirations. With the limited options available to me in Gaza, I made a brave decision to continue my educational journey and help my family rebuild our home and shop, our only source of income, to start over.
No donation is too small, and every contribution is deeply appreciated. Your support can make a profound difference in my life and the life of my family by contributing to this campaign. Not only will this help us continue my education, but it will also enable me to rebuild my life and the life of my family and contribute positively to my community and the world at large.
My campaign goal is $15,000 to rebuild our income stream and get back on our feet.
