Hello, my name is Diana Abuelouf and this campaign will be providing my cousin Eslam and her daughter a glimmer of hope in their desperate struggle in Gaza.
Eslam wants the opportunity for her story to be heard out of the many. In doing so, this will reaffirm to her that she is a person with her own story and not just another body in the count of so many who have lost so much. She deserves the chance to hope for a future still in this grim war.
This is Eslam’s words to the many faces of humanity. Thank you for listening….
“I am a mother from gaza who has endured losses no heart should bear. My baby girl passed away at just three months old. Before l could recover from that pain, I also lost my husband and soulmate. Their loss is unbearable for not only me, but for my daughter who lost a sister and her father.”
“I never imagined I would have to ask for help, but our situation deserves us to continue in seeking safety, dignity, and hope for ourselves.”
My daughter, an orphan now, stands in front of the ruins that used to be our home where we lost everything.
