My name is Jean, and I’m creating this fundraiser for my friend, Mahmoud Al Gharbawi, who is trying to survive the crisis in Gaza.

I am raising funds for my friend, Mahmoud Al Gharbawi, a 24-year-old parkour athlete from Gaza, whose life has been devastated by the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Mahmoud is an extraordinary talent with a gentle heart. Before the destruction began, he trained every day with one dream in mind: to travel the world as a parkour athlete, to compete, and one day become a champion. He believed in that future with everything he had.

Now, surrounded by violence, displacement, and loss, he feels that dream slipping away. Instead of focusing on training or planning for tournaments, he and his family are struggling just to survive. Access to food, clean water, medicine, and basic essentials has become almost impossible. Each day is a battle against circumstances no one should ever have to face.

This fundraiser will go directly toward helping Mahmoud and his family obtain:

• Food

• Clean water

• Hygiene supplies

• Medicine and basic care

• Any essentials they can reach in the middle of this crisis

Every contribution, no matter the amount, provides real relief. It helps Mahmoud and his family make it through another day and reminds them that the world has not turned its back on them. Even sharing this fundraiser goes a long way.

Thank you for reading Mahmoud’s story and for offering support in any way you can.
