💔 Three Years Displaced — Three Years Away From Home

Today, October 7, 2026, marks three years since we were forced to leave our home, our dreams, and the life we once knew.

October 7, 2023 → October 7, 2026.

Three years of displacement.

Three years of uncertainty.

Three years of trying to survive and hold on to hope.

I am still living in Gaza, trying to get through each day and provide the basic necessities of life.

All I want is a safe place to live, enough food and essential supplies, and the chance to rebuild a small part of the life we lost.

🙏 If you can help, please consider donating.

Even a small contribution can make a real difference.

If you cannot donate, sharing this post is also a huge help.

Please help my story reach someone who can support us.

❤️ Help Me Build a New Beginning
My name is Saif, and I’m from Gaza.

I was forced to leave my home, and today I’m living in a tent.

Despite everything, I’m trying to hold on to hope and build a better future.

I’m preparing to start my married life, and all I’m asking for is a safe, simple place where my future wife and I can begin our life together with dignity.

🏕️ The tent we need costs $600.
Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to this goal.

Even $5 or $10 can make a real difference when many people come together.
If you can’t donate, please share this post. Your share could reach someone who can help.

🙏 Please help me turn this small dream into reality.

❤️ Thank you for standing with me.

We are not asking for a luxury home.
We are trying to build a safe place for my family to sleep, wash, and live with some dignity. 💔

The wooden pallets in this photo are what we use to build the basic structure of our tent and bathroom. The wood, tarps, nails, and other materials are expensive, and we need around $900 to complete everything.

Every dollar brings us one step closer to having a place we can call shelter again. 🏕️❤️

I’m not asking for a luxury life. I’m asking for a place to begin. 🤍

I’m a newlywed from Gaza, trying to build a small beginning for myself and my family in circumstances none of us ever imagined.

Right now, our goal is simple: to create a basic place where we can sleep, cook, wash, and feel a little stability again.

We have prepared a list of the essential things we need — from land rent and shelter materials to kitchen supplies, bedding, bathroom needs, and lighting.

💰 Total needed: $3,600

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer. And even if you cannot donate, sharing this post can help us reach someone who can. 🙏

A tent can become shelter.
And shelter can become the beginning of a new life. ❤️

I’m asking for your help to keep a safe place for my family in Gaza. 🥺❤️
Life in Gaza has become incredibly difficult, and even having a small piece of land where we can place our tent comes with a cost we can barely afford.

We need $300 to pay the land rent and keep our shelter in place.
For us, $300 is not just rent.

It means a place to sleep, protection from the streets, and a little bit of safety and dignity.

I know everyone is facing their own struggles, but if you can donate even a small amount, it would mean more to me and my family than I can put into words.
🙏 $5, $10, or $20 can make a real difference.

If you cannot donate, please share this post. Your share may reach someone who can help.

We have been sleeping on the street for 3 days. 💔

We were forced to leave the land where our tent was standing, and since then, we have had nowhere to stay. For three days, we have been on the street, trying to find a safe place for our family.

We have finally found a small piece of land where we can put our tent again, but we need $300 to pay the rent.

I am asking for your help. Even $5 or $10 can make a real difference for us right now.

🙏 Please help us get a place to stay again.
If you cannot donate, please share this post. Your share could reach someone who can help.

Our immediate goal: $300 for the land rent.

Thank you to everyone who stands with us. ❤️

This is what life looks like for us in Gaza. 🇵🇸💔

We wake up every day not knowing what tomorrow will bring.

We live without the safety and stability that most people take for granted, struggling to find food, clean water, shelter, and the basic necessities of life.

We are simply trying to survive and hold on to hope. ❤️‍🩹

If you can donate, even a small amount can help us get through another difficult day. If you cannot donate, please share our story.
