The story

Dear Generous Donors,

My name is Asmaa, and together with my husband Abdulrahim, we are reaching out to you with hopeful spirits in our time of need.

  • At 30 years old, I am a wife and a mother to two beautiful children, Zaid, who is 5 years old, and Maryam, who is 7 years old.

  • Amidst the chaos of war, Abdulrahim, a prosperous merchant, lost everything he had built. His once-thriving business crumbled under the relentless bombings, leaving him with nothing but the rubble of his dreams. Determined to provide for his family, Abdulrahim turned every hardship into fuel for resilience, forging ahead with unwavering hope and courage in the face of adversity.

  • Maryam, a bright seven-year-old girl, and her five-year-old brother Zaid had their innocence stolen by the horrors surrounding them. Despite the circumstances, Asmaa and Abdulrahim did everything in their power to shield their children from the harsh realities of war. Their home, once a place of laughter and warmth, had become a shelter of fear and uncertainty.

  • Five-year-old Zaid lived in war-torn Gaza, where bombings and gunfire were a daily occurrence. Despite the chaos, he found joy in playing with a small toy car, a precious gift from his father. His mother, Asmaa, would tell him stories of peace, assuring him that one day they would play in a beautiful park. Zaid’s hope and innocent smile gave his family strength, even in the darkest times.

  • A final message to the whole world

With each passing day, We find ourselves in a constant state of displacement, with no safe haven to call home. The basic necessities of life – shelter, food, and medical care – remain elusive dreams for us.

Our only hope lies in relocating to a country where we can rebuild our shattered lives and provide a brighter future for our children. However, the journey ahead is fraught with financial obstacles.cover the expenses of travel and living costs in our destination country for the next few months. This period is crucial for us to assess our options and chart a path towards a more stable and secure future.

Your support will not only provide us with the means to survive but also the opportunity to thrive in a place where we can finally call home.

Warmest regards,

Asmaa and Abdulrahim
