The Story of Mohammed Saqallah and His Family: A Journey of Pain and Hope ππ
My name is Mohammed Saqallah, I am 23 years old. I used to work in a smartphone store in the customer service department π±. My brother Mahmoud (20 years old) and I dreamed of establishing a mobile repair shop together π οΈπ‘. But the war stole our dreams and destroyed our home over our heads ποΈπ₯.
One fateful night during the harsh war πβ οΈ, our home turned to rubble after being bombed by the Israeli occupation π£. We miraculously survived πβ¨ after the civil defense π managed to rescue us from under the ruins. However, the devastation left behind is beyond description. Now, we are homeless π΄ββ οΈ with no source of income πΌ, and the dreams we spent years building have turned into painful memories π.
My younger sisters now live in a constant state of fear π’:
Hala (14 years old): Trembles at the sound of explosions π¨π₯.
Lama (15 years old): Has lost the ability to sleep due to nightmares ππ.
Haya (16 years old): Experiences panic attacks whenever she hears gunfire ππ£.
Hifa (17 years old): Lives in shock π, even though she was always my source of support and encouragement to pursue my dreams β€οΈβ¨.
As for me, I lost my job and my source of income ππΌ. My brother Mahmoud, who dreamed of studying smartphone engineering ππ‘, could not enroll in university as he hoped π. Even my parents π©βπ¦βπ¦, who were our pillar of strength π€², are now struggling with the psychological and financial toll of this war π₯Ίπ.
Why Are We Asking for Help? π€π
We are now seeking to leave Gaza in search of safety and a better future πποΈ. The cost of coordination and leaving Gaza is enormous, as we need $5,000 for each family member, which includes me, Mahmoud, my parents, and my four sisters πΈπ¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦, totaling $40,000 π΅.
Additionally, my brother Mahmoud needs $5,000 for his university education once we leave ππ.
Total Needed: $45,000 π°π΅
This amount would be a lifeline for us π:
Safety: To leave Gaza and escape the daily fear that surrounds us ποΈπ.
Education: To help Mahmoud achieve his dream of studying smartphone engineering π±πβ¨.
Hope: To give us all a fresh start after losing everything ππ .
Any donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in our lives ππ. You are the hope that can bring us back to life πβ€οΈ. Thank you to everyone who extends a helping hand π€β¨.
