I am Alyssa from Canada, and this campaign is for Mohammed Al-Shawaf and his family. This is their story:

Mohammad is a young man who got married during the war, and during the current aggression on Gaza, his house was destroyed and the newlyweds were separated from the rest of their family and displaced to Rafah.

700 days of war later, the couple still live in a tent in a crowded and dangerous area; they share one phone that they can barely charge or make calls on; they have no way of getting money to buy food, firewood or other supplies. Mohammad worries a lot about his wife, who is pregnant, and needs to take vitamins and have proper nutrition to be well.

The situation is extremely difficult due to the constant bombing, the scarcity of aid, and the fact that prices are incredibly high right now. Mohamad wants to raise money so that they can evacuate Gaza once the borders reopen. Saving for this is only possible with additional funds, but the high prices of food and gas leave them with nothing

They have all struggled to get food and basic necessities, in addition to dealing with multiple health complications.

Please help however you can by donating and sharing this fund. We are very grateful for any help you can give.

For transparency: I send the money raised directly to Mohammed via my Paypal, once the GoFundMe payout reaches me every week. Please email me to pay instantly and direcly: [email redacted]
