About the Cause
Gaza in Our Hearts is a Ramadan fundraising campaign by Dubai Cares that aims to support the people of Gaza with emergency relief aid including: Hot Meals Distribution, Food Basket Distribution and Emergency Shelter Tents.
To ensure the prompt and efficient supply of this emergency relief, we have partnered with Anera who are working closely with UN, diplomatic and non-governmental organization partners to open aid corridors to enable it to urgently deliver life-saving aid.
Through your generosity and compassion, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by the humanitarian crisis. Together, let us stand in solidarity with Gaza and demonstrate that hope and compassion know no borders.
My Story
After five years of study and effort, I graduated from the university with distinction and honors, and I deservedly obtained my first job as a teaching assistant at the university. I was looking forward to the world with determination and enthusiasm. I was very happy because I would finally reap the fruits of my toil and the toil of my family. Finally, I would help them bear the burden of studying for my remaining brothers, but unfortunately this joy was stolen by the brutal war. Since on the morning of October 7, 2023, I lost my job and my laptop, which is the most precious thing I own as a software engineer... I cannot believe that for 200 days I have not been able to use my laptop because I lost it.... Unfortunately, my workplace was completely destroyed and bulldozed by the Israeli occupation forces and became ashes Not only that, my older brother lost his job, and unfortunately his travel and tourism office was completely destroyed The consequences of this brutal war did not stop at this point, but because of it, the fate of my brother and sister’s university education remained unknown My younger brother stopped teaching, as his school became a center for sheltering displaced people In addition, my father suffers from diabetes and blood pressure, and because of the siege we cannot find the appropriate medicine for him, and my mother suffers from severe neck pain that doctors could not diagnose or prescribe medicine for her due to the war
