We left everything we knew behind—our home, which no longer exists💔, our community, and many of our loved ones who couldn't escape due to the ongoing conflict in Rafah😢. The journey was difficult, filled with tears and anxiety about those we left behind, but we had no other choice.

Upon arriving in Egypt, we found ourselves in a new struggle—starting from scratch. Without a home, without income, and without security, our focus now is on securing a safe place for my family, ensuring my children continue their education, and meeting our basic needs.🥺

Unfortunately, the fundraising campaign I launched is moving very slowly, and we haven't been able to raise even a quarter of the needed amount. Time is not on our side, and every day the situation becomes more difficult, especially with the increasing basic needs we can no longer afford.

I am working hard to document my campaign and have reached out to people who verify campaigns, and I am waiting for their response. The campaign is new, and I am also new to using this platform, so I am learning every day how to improve it and reach more people who can help.🙌🏼

In Gaza, we lost everything, and the future seemed bleak 😢. But I believe in the kindness and generosity of others. This is why I created this campaign—to ask for your help in rebuilding our lives. The funds we raise will be used to secure a home, educate my children, and meet our basic needs that we can no longer afford.

I understand that many may doubt the legitimacy of such campaigns, and I respect that. I want to assure you that our situation is real, and the need is urgent. Any support you can provide, whether by donating or sharing our story, will make a significant difference in our lives.🙏🏼

Salah has been working hard to promote his family's campaign every day for almost a month now, and yet, despite all the effort he's put in, they've only received a little over 70 donations.

If you have money to spare, please consider donating!

This is a campaign that is very low on funds.

Today we took our little brother hospital because he suffers from an infection that affects his breathing and causes him pain. I hope that every living conscience will help us save our young son’s life and donate any amount you can.

Unfortunately, there is no treatment in the hospital for my little. Help us before it is too late.

Abdelrahman, Adam, and Jori are the heartbeat of my heart and the light of my life.

Abdelrahman: the lion of the house, the helpful and loving boy to his siblings and family.

Jori: my beloved girl, the one closest to my heart, and my little mini-me.

Adam: my little hero and my spoiled child.

Since the onset of the latest war in Gaza, our home has been completely destroyed, forcing us into displacement. We’ve had to move more than thirteen times in search of safety. During this harrowing journey, we faced severe hunger and malnutrition that nearly took my life and the lives of my children. Additionally, we were exposed to numerous contagious diseases and dangerous epidemics.

Before: This is our home, our dream, and our promising future.

My children have to travel long distances just to get water and stand in line for hours to get food. Their mental health has been shattered by the war, their education has come to a halt, and they have suffered from catastrophic hunger that almost claimed their lives.

After: This is our home, built with our sweat and effort, and it has been completely destroyed.

The Right to a Peaceful Life

My children deserve to live a peaceful life free from fear and anxiety. I dream of your help to support my family and escape this genocide. Your assistance means the world to me and my children.

Your donations can be a beacon of hope for us. Every dollar can help save my children's lives and give them a chance to live in peace. Your prayers for us to overcome this ordeal and lift the siege are greatly needed.

Please don't skip!🙏

this is Sila, the lovely daughter of Fidaa @fidaa-family2. she is just two years old. this is what Fidaa has told me about her: Sila is very wonderful and very beautiful. she loves to laugh. her laugh is beautiful and everyone loves her. she loves cats very much, and adores dogs; she is not afraid of animals. she loves bathing very much. she loves to eat chicken. she is now deprived of these things because of the war and the destruction of everything that was available to her.

i was honored to be able to paint Sila, and to talk to her wonderful mother. Fidaa is an amazing person; she is so full of love. she is doing everything she can to protect her daughter and her two-month-old baby, Muhammad Amr. he has known nothing but the war — the hunger and thirst, the inescapable heat, the sounds of bombs, the fear.

Fidaa's house has been completely destroyed by the bombs, but we talked about a future in which her family lives in a safe and stable home, that i could send this painting to her for her to keep, and her children could grow up happy. please, help secure that future for them. just five dollars gets them a little closer. please share with everyone you can and donate as much as you are able to, it would mean the world to them.

OK HERE IT IS + speculative colorways
