The War Is Almost Overโฆ but Our Struggle to Rebuild Has Just Begun.
Every day here in Gaza feels like a year carved into our chests. The war isnโt like it was in the early daysโthe sky is quieter, the air carries less smoke, and the nights hold fewer explosions. But the painโฆ it still lives under the rubble, inside our memories, and in the empty spaces where our loved ones once stood.
Iโm writing this today not because the war has completely ended, but because for the first time in a long while, it feels like the horizon is opening a little. A small space where we can breathe, gather ourselves, and try to rebuild whatโs left of our lives. Yet every step forward feels like walking on wounded memories, and every stone from our destroyed home whispers stories we never got to finish.
We lived through nights so heavy we thought morning would never come. We lost things that can never be replacedโhomes, dreams, pieces of our hearts. But we are still hereโฆ holding on, trying, fighting to stay standing despite everything.
And in the middle of this long roadโฆ there is a house. A house that once carried laughter, warmth, noise, and life. Today, all that remains is an image holding a memoryโand rubble longing for the people who once lived inside.
Today, we are trying to rebuildโnot just the walls of a house, but an entire life that was shattered. We are trying to create a new beginning, to live with dignity again, to give our family a sense of safety that weโve been missing for so long.
Weโre not writing this to mourn what was lost, but to ask for a chance to start again. We ask for your support because rebuilding after a war is not something one person can do aloneโit is a human effort, a shared act of compassion. We need you. We need your hearts. We need your help to stand again.
My name is Abedmajed Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.
Because Gaza has no working banking system, we use my brother U.S. Stripe account to safely process donations for our family. Nothing is hidden โ every dollar goes where it should. We are ready to show proof of anything, at any time.
Every contributionโno matter how smallโmakes a difference. It becomes part of our story, part of rebuilding a home, part of reviving a life that nearly faded.
The war may be almost overโฆ but our journey back to life begins now.
