Bridge of Life for My Family

Hello,

My name is Yousef, and I am from Gaza.  My family and I are suffering from very difficult circumstances due to the ongoing siege and the daily pressures imposed by life here.  The situation has become unbearable, and I dream of getting out of here to look for a better opportunity for a stable and safe life.

My story:  In Gaza we have suffered from constant power outages, severe shortages of medical and basic supplies, and insecurity.  I live with my family consisting of 6 members, 4 of whom are married. I and my younger brother remain, and we are all trying hard to survive under these harsh conditions. We were displaced from northern Gaza to Nuseirat in the middle of the Gaza Strip, from Nuseirat to Khan Yunis, and from Khan Yunis to Rafah, and when they invaded  Rafah we were displaced from Rafah to Khan Yunis once again, and God is our helper.

Despite all the odds, my hope is still there.  My hope is to leave Gaza and find a new life in a safe country that can provide me and my family with a better future.

Why do I need your help?  I do not have enough financial resources to realize this dream.  The costs associated with exiting Gaza and providing a basic life in a new country are well beyond my means.  I need your help to raise an amount of $40,000, which will be used to cover the expenses of:

1. *Legal procedures and travel*: Costs of obtaining official papers, visas and travel tickets.

2. *Initial accommodation*: Accommodation and food costs in the new country until I can find stable work.

3. *Family support in Gaza*: Providing some basic needs for my family who will remain in Gaza until I send them support later.

How you can help:  Any contribution, whether small or large, will be very helpful.  I appreciate your support and help in achieving this dream.  If you are unable to donate financially, please share this campaign with your friends, family and on social media.

Final word:  We have great hope in you, and we hope that we will find kindness and support from kind hearts that may help us lift this great burden from our shoulders.  

Thank you very much for your time, your positive help or even your kind words.

Yousef

Update:

Yousef house was completely destroyed, they lost everything during the occupation of Gaza. Where he grew and laugh, now there's rubbers and silence.
