HelpNedamProtectHisFamily

Before you begin reading the following copy and paste paragraphs from Nedam Ta'ima, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read his words, his experiences after the events of Oct 7th, and considering the impact these events have had on not only his life, but the lives of his family. 

My name is Kelly, based in California, and I am advocating for Nedam's family who are struggling to survive in occupied Palestine. Please continue reading to learn more about Nedam and his story. Thank you.

Hello, my name is Nedam and I am only 21 years old. Like many others in Gaza, my dreams have been shattered by the ongoing genocide. Once I was a bright student pursuing a degree in computer systems engineering, but now I live under constant threat, trapped in the far south of Gaza, where the sound of bombs and shelling has become a daily part of life.

I should be planning for my future, but instead, I am fighting to keep my family alive.

I suffer from a spinal condition that prevents me from working. My father, also unable to work due to a medical condition, can no longer provide for us. With the rising prices of food, medicine, and other necessities, my family is on the brink of collapse, struggling to meet their basic needs and unable to leave the house.

I am with my parents, my sister Wafaa (24), her husband (33), and their two young children–just 4 and 1.5 years old–we need the generosity of strangers to support us during this time.
