“We Lost Everything”: A Gaza Family’s Story of Loss and Hope

Leave a reply

The ongoing conflict in Gaza, despite a recent peace deal, has not only caused widespread devastation but has also torn apart the lives of countless individuals and families. Among them is Hazem Khudeir, a graphic designer, husband, and father, whose story paints a stark picture of the human cost of war. This isn’t just a news report; it’s a personal plea for help, a story of loss, resilience, and the desperate need for support.

Hazem’s story, shared on his LinkedIn profile, begins with a brief overview of his professional life: a passionate and experienced graphic designer specializing in logo design, branding, packaging, and more. However, this introduction quickly transitions into a harrowing account of survival. Hazem, his pregnant wife, and their three-year-old daughter, Sham, lived in Al-Shuja’iya, Gaza, until their home, and the surrounding residential area, was completely destroyed. They miraculously survived, escaping to live in tents on empty land in Deir al-Balah. 

Need to Know:

  • The Devastation: Hazem and his family lost everything – their home, their belongings, and the life they once knew. They are now displaced and living in tents.
  • The Impact of War: The conflict has crippled the local economy in Gaza, causing prices of basic necessities to skyrocket, making survival even more challenging.
  • The GoFundMe Campaign: To support his family and rebuild his life, Hazem has started a GoFundMe campaign.

Takeaways:

  • The Human Cost of Conflict: This story highlights the devastating impact of war on individuals and families, forcing them into unimaginable circumstances.
  • The Power of Community: In times of crisis, community support and online fundraising platforms like GoFundMe can provide a lifeline for those in need.
  • The Importance of Awareness: Sharing stories like Hazem’s helps raise awareness about the ongoing situation in Gaza and encourages people to take action.

Hazem’s message is a desperate yet hopeful one. He describes the pain of losing his home, his dreams, and his sense of security. He shares links to his GoFundMe campaign and videos showing the rubble of what was once his house. He even provides cryptocurrency wallet addresses for those who wish to donate that way. He implores readers to do their best to support his family, emphasizing that they had a home, dreams, and a life before losing everything.

This isn’t just a plea for financial assistance; it’s a cry for humanity. It’s a reminder that behind the headlines and statistics are real people facing unimaginable hardship.

A Father’s Plea: Rebuilding After Gaza’s War

Murad Bader is raising awareness and soliciting support for his family who are facing difficult circumstances due to the war in Gaza. He’s asking for both donations and for people to share his campaign.

ePluribusAmerica will support these humanitarian campaigns by highlighting the stories of people and families in need of support due to America’s manufactured wars across the globe against the will and support of We, the People.

America’s foreign policy and State Department has detoured away from the American Dream and vision for the nation and the world. Americans from all walks of life must come together as One People of this great nation to turn back toward the road of fulfilling the America yet to be; an America for All her People.

We’ve sacrificed, worked too hard, and come too far to allow the madness of the Biden-Harris Administration, the potential chaos of Trump 2.0, including previous administrations, to take root. Over the last 15 months, Americans have openly witnessed unprecedented corruption from our elected officials. From our international relations; endless wars, conflicts and government meddling, to our domestic relations; killing aviation and AI/tech whistleblowers, as well as the blatant war crimes being carried out in our names and against our will. Members of Congress and other elected officials have galvanized and forced their personal wills, including hegemonic illusions of Mother Earth on humanity on behalf of a foreign government, Israel, and its un-American and parasitic lobby, AIPAC. 

The time is now to come together, not just as Americans, but also as global citizens determined and committed to usher in a New World order rooted in a common humanity. It is in that spirit we must support those directly impacted by our corrupt leaders who mistook “public service” for “self serve” and show the world who we truly are as a People: e Pluribus Unum, Out of Many, One.

Murad and his family are facing numerous challenges due to the war:

  • Loss of loved ones: He lost his mother, many friends, and some of his wife’s brothers.
  • Loss of livelihood and possessions: He lost his job, cars, house, and his previous way of life.
  • Current living conditions: They are displaced and struggling. The most difficult Ramadan they’ve ever experienced was spent away from their home and loved ones, displaced in a tent or a classroom in a school used as a shelter.
  • Uncertainty and fear: They face instability, anxiety, and fear for the future.

Murad hopes to build a new life that guarantees a decent life for himself and his family, either inside or outside Gaza.

Murad is taking the following actions:

  • Launching a donation campaign: He’s asking for financial help to rebuild their lives, click HERE to learn more.
  • Sharing his story and campaign: He’s raising awareness and seeking support on social media platforms like LinkedIn.

Murad, alongside hundreds of thousands of people, is facing insurmountable challenges due to the war in Gaza.  Many have lost loved ones, livelihood and possessions, including enduring refugee living conditions with uncertainty and fear of what the future of a new ceasefire agreement will mean. 

People can support Murad and his family by donating to his campaign, sharing his story and campaign on their social media platforms, or contacting him directly to offer assistance.

Murad’s campaign is focused on rebuilding their lives and securing a humane future. Here’s how you can help:

  • Financial assistance: This is the primary request for many rebuilding their lives after wars/conflicts. 
  • Housing: The Bader family lost their home and are displaced.
  • Livelihood/employment: Murad lost his job and is in need of employment and income.
  • Basic necessities: Given their displacement and struggles, this includes food, clothing, and other essentials.

Support can also be given to Mercy Corps, UNICEF USA  and other humanitarian aid organizations like Save the Children who are active on the ground in Gaza and other war affected areas across the globe.
