Life Is Great Because I Frequently Mourn Girlhood Even Though The Thought Of Being A Girl Makes Me Want

"My name is Samed… and this is my story."

My name is Samed. I’m 23 years old. I was born into this world without a father—I grew up an orphan, searching for safety in the arms of my mother and siblings. We are a simple family: my mother, two sisters, two brothers, and me. We tried to stay strong, just like my name means—Samed, the one who endures.

We’ve been collecting pieces of loss day after day. The first deep wound came when my brother Jihad was killed. His martyrdom felt like a knife in the heart. We tried to stay strong—for him, for my mother, and for the ones still with us.

But I didn’t know that Jihad’s loss wouldn’t be the last…

In a single moment, without warning, a missile struck our home. The house we built with love and patience—the shelter from all life’s pain—was turned into rubble. And in the middle of that destruction… my sister Alaa was there.

She didn’t make it out.

Alaa—her voice still echoes in my ears. Her laughter fills every corner of my memory. Her face never leaves me. She died under the rubble, and a part of me died with her. Now, there's nothing left of our home… only pain, emptiness, and memories that burn more than the fire itself.

Today, I, Samed—the orphaned young man who lost his brother, his sister, and his home—have only these words to cry out with:

Please help us. Support us. For my mother, for my surviving siblings, for the dignity we are still trying to hold on to.

We are not just numbers in the news. We are souls who dreamed. Families who built a future on hope and resilience.

We need your voice. Your hearts. Your hands—to lift us from under the rubble and back into life.

🚨🚨We are fleeing death. My region has been attacked, and we are in immediate danger.🚨🚨

I am Suhaila, a mother of five, from Gaza. Our house has been completely destroyed, and my husband, Shadi, was injured in the war. We have no food, and our situation is dire. Our lives are at risk every single moment.❤️

We urgently need help. If you can donate $25, $50, or even $100, it will enable us to survive.

We need basic necessities such as flour to make food, milk for my little girl, and medicine for my husband.

We are trapped, and every day without aid makes our situation even more critical.🍁

Please, if you can help with even a small donation, it would mean the world to us.

Your support is our only hope to survive.🌹
