My name is Soliman, a young man and student from Gaza carrying a burden far heavier than my age. Between my studies and the hardships of life I try to be the backbone of my family in the most difficult of times

We once had a small farm with olive and citrus trees and a greenhouse where we planted not just crops but dreams. That farm was our only source of income and more than that it was a place full of memories of hope and of the laughter that once made life a little easier

But in a single moment everything was gone

A fire reduced our years of effort to ashes

We lost our source of living our stability and with it a part of our souls

Now despite the pain I’m trying to start over

I’m doing everything I can to keep my family standing to find even the smallest light of hope that might restore our strength dignity and sense of humanity

I share these words with honesty and hope hoping they reach a kind heart someone who can help or even simply share my story with others who might be able to

From the bottom of my heart thank you for taking a moment to read my story
