Hi there 🌱
I hope you are doing well. My name is Naser, and I’m from Gaza. I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, but I wanted to share a piece of my story — because right now, it’s the only way I know to try and survive.
This war has changed everything. I lost my mother and my sister. Our home is gone. What used to be a normal life — school, family meals, laughter — has been replaced by fear, rubble, and silence.
Now, I’m displaced with my three younger brothers. I’ve become their protector, their parent, their hope. We sleep side by side and I try to make them feel safe, even when I’m scared too.
We are trying to raise funds to rebuild our lives — to find a safe place, to go back to school, to have something to believe in again. I dream of going to university. My brothers have their own dreams too — of being a doctor, an engineer, just being kids again.
If you’re able to support us by donating 💌 or even just sharing our campaign 🔁, it would truly mean the world. Every small act of kindness brings us a little closer to hope.
Thank you for taking the time to read this 🙏
And if you'd rather not receive messages like this, please just let me know and I won’t reach out again.
It is with all my heart that I write these words.
Everything you and your brothers, your loved ones that have passed, the people you’ve grown up with and have been living with during this genocide, I wish I could take it all away and make it so that no human being ever has to go through what you have gone through.
What the people of Palestine have gone through since the Nakba is cruel. The number of lives that have been taken by the occupation is unforgivable.
If I had the powers to take you and your brothers out, all of the people of Palestine suffering, I would do it in a heartbeat.
My heart breaks more with each passing day, for the men, women, and children who are still holding on despite the horrors that are witnessed. For the journalists who have put their lives on the line documenting everything that has happened and keeps happening. For those who are holding out hope.
All the names and faces I’ve seen, I pray for them.
I pray for you. I pray for all of Palestine.
