Hello, my name is April Jane and I am from the north eastern united states. I am fundraising on behalf of my friend Diana's (aged 26) husband, Muhammad (age 27). If you do not know- civilians in Gaza are unable to raise funds for themselves via gofundme, so they need to trust people online from other countries to raise the funds and be trustworthy enough to send the funds as described. Because of this, there are multiple platforms used to send funds, therefore a tax paid to each platform. So for every dollar donated, a smaller portion arrives into the hands of the people trapped in Gaza who need this lifesaving money. Please be as generous as you can be, it makes a world of a difference to individuals living under constant bombardment, fear, uncertainty, and nearly indescribable pain. I will now provide Muhammad's statement to the world.

"Hello everyone, I am Muhammad I am 27 and my family is 10 people. I have two children (Misk-31 months old and Ahmad-18 months old) and I live with my mother, father and 5 brothers. My brother Ohmed (25 years old) suffered a severe injury to his stomach and intestines, his hand was broken, and fragments of a missile are still stuck in his body.

My children are also young and need pampers and milk. They are too young for this suffering. I used to work as a fisherman before the war began. I was earning a living for my children. Now I am still fighting amidst the devastation in which we live. I have escaped death several times while trying to earn a living. I have survived drowning, enemy strikes, and the occupation naval cruiser, which prevents fishermen from entering the sea and prevents them from earning a living. Now I can no longer provide anything for my children or... For my family we need your help and support and we thank you very much"

More details about Muhammad's family are as follows;

The brothers all together with their parents. Muhammad’s mother's name is Sobha, and his father's name is Ahmed. Although the long term goal is evacuation, it is difficult to save up for this when the daily necessities cost so much money and the prices rise every day.

How do the funds get to where they are going?

The beneficiary of this fundraiser is my friend Mari. Mari has been speaking daily with Mohammed’s wife’s family, the Abu Saqer family, in Gaza since May. Speaking through not just typed messages but phone calls and video chat as Mari has begun to study the arabic language, and the eldest Abu Saqer son, Ahmed is bilingual. Mari and Ahmed coordinate the money transfers for his campaign and have offered to help facilitate the money transfers for Mohammed’s campaign as well.

Mari has become my trusted friend online as well and we work together to carry each others heavy hearts through this situation.

Mari will be delivering funds to Ahmed, the brother of Mohammed’s wife Diana, through Western Union and/or wire transfers.

It is our responsibility as Americans in the imperial core to do this. thank you for your time, thank you for the donation and thank you for sharing the link.
