A Plea for Compassion: Motasim’s Family Needs Your Help

Donation protected
Life for Motasim’s family, led by my courageous brother has been a relentless battle. Motasim, a father of five, faces unimaginable challenges as three of his children – Mohnad (10), Menna (8), and Nour (18) – are suffering from the devastating genetic disorder known as Usher syndrome. This rare and debilitating condition causes both hearing and vision loss, often leading to complete blindness.


A Story of Strength and Resilience

Mohnad, the middle child of three battling Usher Syndrome, has faced the toughest journey. He was born completely deaf, requiring a cochlear implant at just two years old. Unfortunately, his sight has progressively deteriorated due to retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease. Today, Mohnad relies on constant care for daily activities and struggles to recognize familiar faces.







Menna, the youngest affected child, echoes Mohnad's fight. While cochlear implants restored her hearing, she too grapples with the early stages of retinitis pigmentosa, blurring the world around her.







War Shatters a Fragile Existence

Before the war, Motasim, a food wholesaler, tirelessly worked to provide for his family's basic needs. While resources were scarce, the family had a roof over their heads and access to essential care for their children. However, the war ripped apart their world. Forced to flee their home in Gaza City, they now find themselves living in a tent, stripped of even the most basic necessities. Motasim's business, reliant on his access to a specific delivery bus, is now inoperable, leaving the family with no source of income.








How You Can Make a Difference

With your generous donations, we aim to offer the Motasim’s family a lifeline:
  • Immediate Relief: Their most pressing need is food, shelter, and access to basic necessities. Your contributions will ensure they have a safe and secure place to live.
  • Investing in the Future: Our goal is to raise enough funds to purchase a new bus for Motasim's wholesale business. This will empower him to regain his livelihood and provide for his family long-term. Financial stability will allow them to access the specialized care their children require.

Beyond Donations: Spreading the Word

Every contribution, big or small, will create a ripple effect of hope for Motasims's family. In addition to donating, please share this fundraiser with your friends, family, and network. Raising awareness is crucial in reaching our goal and providing them with the support they desperately need.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

Motasim’s family faces an uphill battle, but their spirit remains unbroken. Your compassion and generosity can provide them with a brighter future. Let's show them the strength of our collective humanity.
