When Love Defeated War: The Story of Ahmad and Samar
In the midst of war, Ahmad and Samar are getting married
For more than two and a half years, Ahmad and Samar lived through complications and losses that could fill an entire book—stories of patience, pain, and survival.
In the heart of Gaza, under bombardment, destruction, and the constant absence of safety, they lost loved ones, were separated by circumstances, and watched life shrink around them.
And yet—despite everything—one thing remained stronger than war: love.
Ahmad and Samar did not give up.
They held onto their dream and waited for the day they could finally say:
“We are still here… still loving, still dreaming.”
Today, after a long journey of hardship and endurance, they stand at the doors of a moment they once believed might never come:
their wedding on Tuesday.
But the truth is clear: the war did not only destroy homes… it destroyed livelihoods and swept away every opportunity for them to start a stable life together.
For that reason—and with complete honesty and transparency—Ahmad and Samar say to the world:
We genuinely need every dollar, every bit of support, every hand that can stand with us. Our dream can only come true with your help.”
This wedding is not just a celebration.
It is a statement of victory—
a victory of life over death, of love over destruction, and of determination over despair.
Stand with their dream…
Every contribution—no matter how small—is a piece of a beautiful story being written right now, by those who believe that joy is a right, even in the hardest places.
