Dear friends around the world!

Greetings to you from The city of love, peace, flowers, and the beautiful sea—Gaza!

First: Who is Dr. Osama, the official organizer of this campaign?

I speak to you in my name and on behalf of my children and my wife:

I am Dr. Osama Al-Dahdooh from Gaza. I am a writer, poet, expert trainer in human development, and a doctoral researcher at Leeds American Academy.

I hold four academic degrees and postgraduate studies, as well as numerous training courses and diplomas in management, human development, project writing, creative writing, personality analysis, neurolinguistic programming, and modern psychology.Over the past 15 years of training, I have trained approximately 3,000 people from the Gaza Strip to acquire skills for dealing with life’s problems positively, balancedly, and wisely, including students, graduates, creatives, children, doctors, nurses, accountants, and businessmen, as well as those facing family and marital issues.

Second: Who is Dr. Osama's family, consisting of five members?

My wife, nurse Noura, is 36 years old. She is a wise volunteer and a midwife who has contributed to saving hundreds of pregnant women from the horrors of war in Gaza.

My eldest son, Obaida, is 17 years old and is a second-year secondary school student, but he does not attend school due to the war.

My daughter, Farah, is 15 years old and is a first-year secondary school student, but she does not attend school due to the war.

My daughter, Aya, is 13 years old and is a second-year preparatory school student, but she does not attend school due to the war.

My son, Mohammed, is 6 years old and was supposed to enroll in the first grade this year.

Third: How has the war turned our lives into hell, terror, fear, hunger, and destruction?

Please look closely, dear friends!

On 27/10/2023, my house was severely damaged, making it uninhabitable. Throughout the year, I have been displaced from my home more than 23 times. Over 200 of my relatives, neighbors, and colleagues have been killed, and my family and I have miraculously escaped death more than 11 times.

On 20/12/2023, my training center, located in Al-Shawa Tower in Gaza City on Al-Wahda Street, was bombed and destroyed along with 11 floors. The name of the center is "House of Development," licensed by local authorities. My losses amount to approximately $100,000, including buildings, equipment, furniture, training rooms, library, electronic monitoring systems, cameras, licenses, and contracts with trainers.

On 15/5/2024, the Martyrs of Al-Zeitoun clinic was destroyed, and my wife can no longer work there as a midwife due to this destructive act.

Today, my family suffers from malnutrition, lack of safe shelter, and faces daily risks of chronic and fatal diseases due to hunger, the spread of garbage in the streets, poor sanitation systems, weakened immunity among the public, lack of medicines and antibiotics, and the ban on bringing fruits, vegetables, cheese, and milk into our homes in northern Gaza.

Today, my family suffers from constant power outages, lack of cooking gas, ongoing displacement, loss of psychological, health, and social security, deprivation of education, and lack of daily expenses.

Today, our cat (shosho) suffers from malnutrition and may die because she cannot find her own food, which is both scarce and expensive.

In conclusion, my friends...

Thank you for your donations, no matter how small, as they will write a new birth certificate for me and my family for a vibrant and flourishing life.

With love,

Dr. Osama Al-Dahdooh

North Gaza – Al-Zeitoun Neighborhood.

I trust your humanity, please help me reach $50,000. My family needs it. My brother's wife needs daily injections. Please help us. Asking for help is not easy.

Although I am a peaceful person and do not want this war, I cannot stay silent about the injustice my family is facing. My uncle had nothing to do with the war, yet he paid the price. I ask for your help in providing food and medicine for my family during this difficult time.

One dark night, while we were still hoping that the situation would calm down, there was a violent knock on the door. A voice warned us: "Leave immediately, you have to flee, the area will be bombed." We had no choice but to run. We left the house with only the clothes on our backs, taking nothing with us. We ran through the dark night, filled with fear and anxiety about what awaited us.

After a long day of exhaustion and suffering, we arrived in Khan Younis, searching for a place to protect us. It wasn’t easy to find one, but after a long search, we found a school in Bani Suheila. We stayed there for 50 days, living in constant fear. Bombings were happening everywhere, and the situation kept worsening. We had no clothes or blankets to shield our children from the biting cold of the night. We tried to hide them under blankets donated by kind-hearted people, trying to find some warmth for them.

But even this shelter wasn’t safe. Shortly after, we received a threat from the occupation that the school and the entire area would be bombed. We had to flee again, so we decided to move towards Rafah, to Tel al-Sultan. We didn’t know where to go or where we could find safety. The cold was unbearable, and we had no money or resources to build a tent. We tried any way we could to find shelter. We built a tent from pieces of wood and fabric, but the cold was so severe, and my children were freezing, getting sick again and again.

We stayed there for several months, trying to endure, until the decision came to invade Rafah. That’s when everything collapsed. We had no more hope, and we didn’t know where to go or where we could find refuge. We decided to flee once again, this time to Muwassi Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah. But danger surrounded us from every direction, and there was no safe place. We built a new tent, but it was nothing more than pieces of wood and fabric. It didn’t protect us from the cold, nor did it stop my children’s tears that fell every night from the freezing cold and fear.

My husband suffers from high blood pressure, and I suffer from severe migraines that make it impossible for me to endure the harsh cold. We are now living on the seashore, in a tent that doesn’t provide us with adequate protection. My children cry from pain and cold, and I can do nothing but watch them, helpless, unable to offer them anything.

Please, to anyone reading this story, we are an exhausted family. We have been displaced four times and have not found a safe place. Our children are suffering, and our lives are in constant danger. We plead to anyone who can help us to save us. Any donation or help could be a lifeline for us in these harsh conditions. Save my family from this war, and give us a new chance at life.
