Hi my name is Nikita and I'm creating this GoFundMe to help my friend Ali — a kind, resilient, and incredibly brave and talented photographer from G@zeH — to help him care for his family's safety and survival. Currently, and for over 2 years, he's been doing everything he can to keep his family safe while also using his voice and camera to show the world what life is really like in G@zeH — not just to document the pain, but to hold onto hope.

Below are Ali’s own words — a glimpse into his daily reality and the unshakable spirit he carries with him:

"I'm 21, from G@zeH — a place where no one asks, 'How are you?' because the answer is always the same: we're surviving, somewhere between life and death.

Every video I share isn't just content — it's a glimpse into our reality. We laugh, even though we know the sky could fall at any moment. We run, knowing a b*mb might be behind us.

I document life here, but also the slow fading of it — not just from airstrikes, but from the silence, the waiting. We don’t always die in explosions — sometimes we die in pieces, every day.

And yet, we keep living. We cling to joy, even under the shadow of death, because hope is still alive under the rubble."

How You Can Help:

With your support, he can bring them to safety help them after unimaginable loss and trauma. Every donation helps cover the enormous costs of evacuation. If you can't donate, please consider sharing his story. All the money raised here will be sent directly to Ali and I will be providing updates as much as I can throughout the process.

Thank you for seeing Ali, for hearing him, and for standing with him.
