Dear Friends, Family, and Compassionate Supporters,

I am reaching out to you in a time of unimaginable urgency as my family and countless others endure the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The relentless violence, devastation, and loss of innocent lives have created a humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions, leaving families like mine struggling to survive amidst the chaos.

We have set up a GoFundMe page to seek your help in sustaining ourselves during these harrowing times. Your generosity will provide the essential support we need to ensure our safety and survival in the face of this unimaginable tragedy.

A little bit about our family:

We are a simple family from northern Gaza, made up of five sisters and three brothers. One of my brothers has a young family with two children, and during this war, a new baby was born. We lost our father in 2008, and since then, we have relied on each other for strength and support. As we endure this unimaginable hardship, we ask for your kindness to help us survive and sustain ourselves during these dark times.

After losing our father in 2008, our eldest brother became the pillar of our family, taking on the responsibility of supporting us financially and emotionally. Tragically, during this war in December 2023, we lost him as well. His children are now orphans, and we find ourselves orphaned for the second time, grappling with this profound loss amidst the ongoing devastation.

In the face of this immense tragedy, we humbly seek your support. Any contribution, regardless of its size, will significantly contribute to restoring stability and rebuilding lives. Your assistance can help provide the essential medical care, personal items, and food that my family desperately needs. Your thoughts, prayers, and support are profoundly appreciated during this challenging time.

Ps: We are ready to offer further details, answer queries, and if needed, share documents to confirm our situation's authenticity and urgency as well as provide the birth certificate when she gives her birth!

During this war, my brother Mohammed, who was our financial support, was murdered.

The gathered funds will assist the following members of my extended family:

1. Laila Ali Alhow (my mother and fund recipient).

2. Asma Hasan Alhow (my brother's widow, nine months pregnant).

3. Fatima Alhow (my sister, a medical laboratory specialist who lost her job).

4. Kholoud Alhow (my sister, a medical laboratory specialist who lost her job).

5. Salsabeel Alhow (my sister, a pharmacist who lost her job).

6. Khetam Alhow (my sister, a computer engineer who lost her job).

7. Abdullah Alhow (my brother, a student at Alquds University).

8. Ahmed Alhow (my brother, a high school student).

9. Lian Mohammed Alhow (my niece, now an orphan).

10. Hani Mohammed Alhow (my nephew, also an orphan).

11. A new baby is on the way.

The allocated funds will be used for the following purposes:

1. Essential needs for the new baby, including diapers, clothes, and covers, considering the exorbitant market prices.

2. Essential medical care and personal care items.

3. Access to essential food and water.

4. Repairing our partially damaged home and mini shop due to intensive bombings.

5. Ensuring vital utilities such as water and electricity.

6. Acquiring building materials for the reconstruction of our home and shop.

7. Covering labor expenses for skilled workers during the reconstruction process.

8. Furnishing and providing necessary amenities to restore the house and shop to their former state.

We acknowledge that the total cost of home reconstruction exceeds our campaign goal, but we have set this amount with the hope that it will cover the most critical expenses.

While the destruction may be overwhelming, your support can turn despair into determination. Your generosity can transform the narrative from one of loss to a story of resilience, unity, and the strength of the community.
