<div><strong>Important Transparency &amp; Compliance Note: </strong>This campaign is managed and organized by Miriam Faris, residing in the United Kingdom. Miriam is the aunt of Ahmad Faris. Because GoFundMe cannot transfer funds directly to Gaza, all donations will be securely withdrawn into Miriam’s verified UK bank account and transferred directly to Ahmad and his family via secure financial channels to fund their urgent medical needs and evacuation.

</div>
<div><strong>A Message from the Organizer, Miriam:</strong>
</div>
<div>Hello, My name is Miriam Faris. I am reaching out to you from the United Kingdom with a plea from the depths of my heart. I originally set up this fundraiser to provide a lifeline for my beloved nephew, Ahmad, and his family as they endure unimaginable hardships in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tragically, our family has recently been shattered by the devastating loss of Ahmad's beautiful wife, Aseel. She was taken from us far too soon by the violence of this war, leaving behind a heartbroken husband and their precious son, Khaled.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, more than ever, they need our support. This is Ahmad's story, in his own words:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>In Ahmad’s Words:</strong>
</div>
<div>My name is Ahmad Fares, and I am from Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I never imagined I would ever have to ask for help, but I have reached a point where I have no other choice. During this war, our lives changed completely. We were forced to flee from place to place, losing our home and everything we owned.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The hardest moment of my life was losing my wife, Aseel. A sudden explosion took her from us, leaving me alone with our son, Khaled, who was only 4 years old at the time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, Khaled is 6 years old. Every single day, he looks at me and asks:
</div>
<div>“Baba, why does every other child have a mother, but I don’t?”
</div>
<div>And I cannot find an answer to give him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aseel was a kind, vibrant, and life-loving soul. Her absence is not just an unbearable pain—it is a massive void in every single detail of our daily lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Mother’s Critical Health Status
</div>
<div>My mother, Wafaa, is suffering from a serious, life-threatening heart condition. She has previously undergone catheterization and surgical procedures under incredibly difficult circumstances, but today, she has no access to consistent treatment, regular medication, or adequate medical care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are days when I am forced to carry her in my own arms just to reach a place where she can receive basic medical assistance. Every single time I pick her up, I am terrified that this time might be her last.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I Am the Sole Caregiver
</div>
<div>I am Khaled’s father and Wafaa’s son. I am now completely alone in the responsibility of caring for them under these dire conditions. I am trying my hardest to be the father, the mother, and the nurse for my family all at once.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for a chance to protect what is left of my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How Your Support Will Help (Breakdown of Funds)</strong>
</div>
<div>To satisfy GoFundMe payment processor verification guidelines, here is exactly how your donations will be transparently utilized:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Safe Evacuation:</strong> Covering the essential regulatory and coordination fees required to safely evacuate Ahmad, his 6-year-old son Khaled, and his ailing mother Wafaa from Gaza to a safe country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Urgent Medical Care:</strong> Securing immediate cardiac treatment, specialist consultations, and monthly prescription medications for Wafaa.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>My son has already lost his mother. I am fighting with everything I have left in me to make sure he does not lose his grandmother too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They are everything I have left in this world.
</div>
<div><br />
