Help Mohammed's Family Survive in Gaza

Hello, my name is Ariel Collins and I live in Portland, OR United States. I am starting this campaign fundraiser for my dear friend Iman’s uncle, Mohammed. Please read his words and story below.

A Human Appeal – Mohammed from Gaza

My name is Mohammed. I am 52 years old, and I live in Gaza under siege, where life has become a daily struggle for survival. Like thousands of families here, my family and I are living in conditions of extreme hardship—marked by hunger, fear, and hopelessness.

I suffer from diabetes and urgently need constant treatment, but with no income and no access to proper healthcare, I can no longer afford the medicine that keeps me alive.

The physical pain is hard—but what hurts even more is the pain of a father who can no longer provide for his children, who watches them suffer and feels helpless.

Food prices have soared to unimaginable and unprecedented costs. Over $400 now for a bag of flour, which we rely on now as a daily substance of survival. Vegetables in the markets that nobody can afford and nothing but canned food. We are hardly eating a meal a day.

These are the members of my family that I’m responsible for supporting:
