What were you doing when you were 19 ? Hanging out with friends, experiencing adulthood with at least some kind of safety net (even if not a very strong one) ?

Mohammed has none of that. Stuck in Gaza with the borders completely closed and IOF raids and bombings only increasing, he has to overlook his own needs AS A TEENAGER to help his parents and 5 siblings any way he can. When he was injured from a literal bomb explosion, his primary worry wasn't about his wellbeing but rather that he wouldn't be able to care for his family.

Mohammed's family includes several disabled people including his father who has diabetes, his brother Fathi who is blind and has a coronary artery disease, and his brother Abdullah who is blind and autistic. His youngest brother is only 6. Mohammed has to take care of all of them.

The sound of bombs and IOF machinery are constantly a dull buzz. There isn't a moment of silence. It perpetrates every single aspect of his life and his family's lives.

Again, Mohammed is 19. I highly doubt most people reading this could even comprehend living through something like this at such a young age and having to care for your entire family through it. They've already been displaced 4 times and have been raising funds so slowly despite trying for so many months. At the time of writing, he's only gotten 1 donation in the past 6 hours.

He is. A teenager. I don't know what else I can say. Please help him.
