Hello everyone,
I am Samah,I am 34 years old from Gaza, but I am married in Egypt. I used to live in EgyptI have two twin children who are now two years old.
I went to Gaza to visit my family two months before the war, but unfortunately I was detained there with my family. I could not return because the travel coordination is very expensive. My children and I live a very difficult life. We suffer a lot. We were forced to flee several times and I lived in tents. I cannot provide the most basic needs for my children. Now I want to return to my husband, but I cannot return because of the difficult financial conditions. We are suffering here with everything from water, food, and cold. When I came to Gaza, I did not bring many things with me. I had to buy some clothes, but they have become very expensive. Please help me and my children survive. Please help me get out and return to my husband. I trust you and your generosity.
I'm a New Yorker fundraising for my friend Samah. Here is her story:
