My name is Aya, and I'm a 20-year-old girl from Gaza. Since the beginning of the war, I've been living through the worst days of my life. My home, my future, and my dreams have been destroyed. I lost my younger brother right before my eyes, and I'm still living amidst the pain and devastation. There's no clean water, no food, no education, not even the most basic necessities. My heart is heavy with the wounds I've endured over the past two years, and I'm trying my best to support my family of seven, of whom I am the eighth. I dreamed of completing my studies and achieving my dreams, but the war destroyed everything: the schools, the roads, and my future. I want to leave Gaza with my family, not just to escape, but to live with dignity. I've lost my brother, and I don't want to lose the rest of my family. We're living without blankets, winter clothes, or anything to protect us from the bitter cold. My baby brother needs milk and other basic necessities, and we have nothing. I am writing to you hoping in God and then in your humanity that your donation, even a small amount, could save us. Please don't leave us alone, and share our story with anyone who can help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. π€ππ»
