Alaa Ashour

My name is Alaa Ashour. I am from Gaza, and I still live here. Before the war, I had a home in northern Gaza and worked as a marketing and public relations manager. But today, everything has changed.

I now live in western Gaza because my home, my neighborhood—everything I once knew—has been destroyed. My family of 13 people has endured unimaginable hardships over the past year and four months, surviving displacement, hunger, and fear.

The war has shattered not only our homes but also our spirits. We struggle every day just to find food, water, and a safe place to sleep. We lived in tents, suffering through the scorching summer heat, relentless insects, and the freezing, rain-flooded winter. I lost loved ones, my job, and my home. The life I once knew is gone.

My mother’s health has deteriorated before my eyes. She now relies on a wheelchair and urgently needs spinal surgery abroad—treatment that is impossible to get here in Gaza.

Despite everything, I still have hope. I dream of rebuilding our home, clearing the rubble, and making it livable again. I also dream of continuing my doctoral studies abroad and creating a better future for myself and my family.

But to do that, I need help.

Your support will help us:
✅ Rebuild a part of our home so we can finally leave the tents.
✅ Provide medical treatment for my mother.
✅ Give me a chance to pursue my education and rebuild my life.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to safety, stability, and hope. If you can’t donate, please share our story—it makes a difference.
