This campaign initially started on gofundme, but since then transfers have been frozen indefinitely. The ultimate goal is to raise enough money for Hamza to get hormone treatment abroad to support his growth, but since then it is also very important for them to raise enough money to survive. As the borders have closed and this campaign is new, help sharing and donating is greatly appreciated, and urged.
This campaign will support Hamza's family, so below is more information about them.
Ziad and Rania, are parents to their 7 incredible children, 5 of whom are Hamza, Nourhan, Raghad, Batoul, and Lara. Their family has endured enormous hardship surviving through the genocide in Gaza for over 2 years now. They have had to face a man-made famine, displacement, and the loss of their friends and loved ones. On top of so many physical burdens, they are also carrying the emotional and mental tolls of survival. They have all lost dreams, lost hope, and have had to face the reality that returning to the lives that they used to live is impossible. yet through so much hardship and so much pain, there still burns a small spark of hope.
Batoul-
" I am 13 years old. My dream was only to get treatment for me and Hamza, but unfortunately i appealed to the world and did not find anyone to stand by me and extend a helping hand to us. Today, it became my dream to get out of the Gaza strip to live like the rest of the children of the world. "
Lara-
" I'm 9 years old. I've never thought about my dreams or my future before, but this war has carried a load on my shoulders and i hope it ends. "
Raghad-
" I am 14 years old. I dreamed of being a Math Teacher, but because of this barbaric and brutal war, this solution is destroyed, and my highest ambition is to get food and clean water. "
Hamza-
" I am 16 years old. My dream was to master english and complete my studies abroad, but after the dark October 7, my dream was destroyed and my highest ambition became to get food "
Nourhan-
" I'm Nourhan from Gaza... from a place where every day leaves its mark, and every loss opens a new wound that never has time to heal. I've been through some tough times, and lost someone who was a constant in my life... his absence made the world quieter, but heavier inside.
I was studying while distracted, sometimes my heart wasn't with me, and sometimes a tear would fall without me even realizing it. Despite all that, I passed my high school exams... I succeeded in something that was supposed to be a moment of joy, but it became a moment that reminded me of those who aren't here to share my happiness.
My dream is to study nursing... maybe because I'm tired of helplessness, tired of seeing the pain and not being able to change anything. I want to leave Gaza and continue my journey, not escape... but to search for an opportunity to come back stronger. "
Ziad and Rania-
(Ziad) "I am 52 years old and my wife is 43 years old. We believed that this war would end as soon as possible like the rest of the wars, but unfortunately this war lasted for 2 years. We lost our relatives. We appealed to the world before the war to treat my children, but nobody responded to me. Today I do not appeal for the treatment of my children. Today we appeal for food and survival to all the free people of the world. I renew my appeal to everyone with a good heart. I am writing this message and my heart is full of hope. I hope you can help us. Thank you. "
