Campaign Story
Hello, this is Hamada (32) & Lamis (25) , a newlywed couple from Gaza, that were married two months before the war.
We worked in social media marketing, I (Hamada) was also a food blogger covering the food scene in Gaza with various experiences for 7 years.
We sought to build a beautiful house to live in with an equipped studio to film videos and manage their business.
On October 7, war broke out in Gaza, and we were displaced three times from Gaza to the south of the Strip. Our house was completely destroyed, our studio was shattered, and we lost all of their furniture, photography equipment that they worked so hard to get.
Add to that, the majority of Gaza's restaurants, which were our source of livelihood, were also destroyed, and their reconstruction may take years.
Lamis is currently pregnant and is expected to give birth in four months. Given the ongoing conflict, the childbirth process poses a significant risk to her life due to the absence of anesthesia, limited medical equipment, and the lack of available hospital facilities.
I and Lamis dream of our child entering the world and living a normal life with us, experiencing a childhood like any other child worldwide.
I'm also trying to take care after my parents and sisters.
My father Nizar (63) Mother Majda (58) and my 2 sisters Saba (24) and Haya (20).. all of them are currently taking refuge in the south of Gaza after losing the family home.
but leaving isn’t a cheap solution. The coordination of the exit from the Rafah crossing to Egypt cost around $6000 per person, in addition to the initial costs until we can settle down and live, and the taxes extracted by this site and paypal
We created this campaign to help them leave Gaza to search for opportunities to live and work
Every single dollar raised will contribute to enabling us to start a new, secure life, where they can raise their child in safety and peace.
