Two Brothers Fighting to Save Their Family in Gaza

Hello, I’m Ege Göknur. I’m organizing this fundraiser on behalf of two friends of mine — Qusay and Ahmed — two brothers currently displaced in Gaza.

I’ve been in regular contact with them for months. We speak often, and I’ve witnessed their situation deteriorate beyond what anyone should endure. They are not activists. They are not an organization. They are two human beings trying to keep their family alive in the face of starvation, bombardment, and total collapse.

I will personally withdraw the funds and transfer them directly to Qusay and Ahmed in Gaza. I’m doing this because I believe they deserve to be heard — and helped. Everything raised will go to their basic survival.

Now, I’ll let them speak for themselves.

Story by Qusay & Ahmed:

We’re Qusay and Ahmed — two brothers in Gaza.

We don’t have food.

We don’t have clean water.

We don’t have a safe place to sleep.

We don’t have fuel, electricity, or even basic medicine.

What we do have is each other — and a family that depends on us to keep them alive in the middle of a war that never ends.

We’ve been displaced more times than we can count. We’ve seen our home destroyed. We’ve stood in lines for food that never came. We’ve drunk dirty water because there was no other choice. Every single day is a fight — not to live a good life, just to stay alive.

This fundraiser isn’t about comfort. It’s about survival.

What we need the funds for:

• Daily meals (when we can find any food at all)
• Clean drinking water
• A safer shelter
• Basic hygiene and first aid
• Transportation to get supplies if they appear

We’re not asking for much. Just enough to breathe a little. Eat something. Keep our family going.

This is our last option. No one’s coming to save us. We’re asking the world — if you're reading this — to help us keep going.

Please donate if you can.

Please share if you can’t.

Your kindness is the only light we have left.

From Gaza, with love and desperation,

Qusay & Ahmed
