Hello, I am Ghada Al Sersawi, a member of a family with a paralyzed father and an autistic brother, among three families who had to live in a single tent in Gaza after their homes were destroyed.
A girl from a simple family, we had a very simple house to hide in, despite its smallness and narrowness, it was our safe haven, our life was very difficult as my father was sick (stroke) and my younger brother had special needs (autism), and despite our harsh circumstances, I was always excelling in my studies and always in first place, I had very big dreams but I always had the thought of what next..? Is it possible for me to achieve my dream one day? My circumstances only made me more determined, I distanced myself from everyone, I was alone with myself and my studies until I got a GPA of 95.1 in high school, thank God, my GPA allowed me to enter university with a full scholarship but on the condition that I maintain a certain GPA, during my studies I needed a laptop as my specialization required it (secretary and medical records), I worked as a teacher for a number of students for a very small fee in order to collect its price, I was very tired as I was working all day and studying at the same time, and I asked one of my relatives for a loan to complete its price. And as soon as the fateful day of October 7 came, on the first day and in the blink of an eye we do not know how the situation turned upside down, our safe haven was bombed with all its dreams and all its hardship and fatigue, even my computer, which I did not complete its installments, was gone and did not return, everything became ashes, even my dream of completing my studies and developing myself. I am now very lost and I need someone to support me, how can I be my own crutch and the crutch of my family, I need to be their next support, I hope that I can meet their needs, provide treatment for my father and provide support for my brother and be the back of my mother whose health has been affected by fatigue.. I need to complete my dream and compensate my family and myself for everything we have lost, we are now starting from scratch to build a decent life only and not a luxurious one and we need someone to support us even a little.
