From a Computer Engineer to Fighting for Survival: Please Do Not Scroll Past My Urgent Appeal π₯Ίπ
Before this crisis, I was a Computer Engineering graduate from the Islamic University of Gaza. I had a house, a car, a promising career, and a life full of dreams. Now, I am a brother carrying the heavy responsibility of keeping my entire family alive.
I sacrificed absolutely everything before turning to this campaign. I spent my entire life savings and sold every single thing I owned, including my laptop. Out of pure desperation to feed my family, I took a grueling heavy-lifting job that my body couldn't handle. My back broke under the weight, leaving me hospitalized for an entire month.
Today, I am broken and in agonizing pain inside a tent, unable to even stand up on my own feet.
I feel completely helpless because my campaign is moving extremely slowβit doesn't even cover the cost of basic food for my family right now. We are starving, and the slow support is leaving us stranded on the brink of survival.
Please, do not look away from our agony. Your donations are our only way to eat and stay safe. If you cannot donate, please share my story. You are truly our last remaining hope πππ₯ππ

Help Us Survive the Winter: A Desperate Plea for Sela and Our Future ππ§οΈπ
The silence of a stalled campaign is a different kind of cold. As donations have dried up, the desperation in our tent has grown. I am writing this with a heavy heart, reaching out to anyone who can hear our plea. My family is at a breaking point, and we need your kindness now more than ever.
### Sela Cannot Wait Any Longer ππ₯Ί
My little sister, Sela, is only two years old. She has been fighting severe malnutrition, and though she is starting to recover, she is still so tiny and fragile.
Now, the freezing winter rains have become our greatest enemy. Our tent is badly torn, and every storm brings a flood inside. Our blankets and clothes are constantly soaked, and I watch Sela shiver uncontrollably in the bitter cold. I hold her to my chest to keep her warm, but I am terrified that the cold will take her from me before the hunger does.
Your donations go directly toward a sturdy, waterproof tent and the nutrition Sela needs to stay alive.
A Career Sold for a Crust of Bread π»π«
The war has stripped us of everything. I hold a Bachelorβs degree in Computer Engineering and have professional experience, but the starvation became so extreme that I was forced to sell my laptop just to feed my family. It was a devastating choice. Now, I am stuck in a cycle of survival that leaves no room for hope:
I spend my days carrying heavy water containers across ruins.
I spend my nights trying to start fires just to keep us from freezing.
I have no way to work, no way to study, and no way to pull my family out of this nightmare.
How Your Donation Changes Everything πΈπ€²
I have launched a new campaign with a trusted friend after my previous one was unfortunately banned. Every dollar donated is a brick in the wall of our protection. We urgently need funds for:
Emergency Shelter & Food: To keep Sela dry, warm, and fed.
A New Laptop & Internet: To replace the one I sold so I can apply for remote software or data entry roles and provide for my family myself.
Medical Care: To ensure Selaβs recovery from malnutrition continues.
Please, if you can find it in your heart, donate today. Even the smallest amount is a miracle for us. If you cannot donate, please share this postβyour voice might reach the one person who can help us survive.
