Hello,

I’m Jihad Milhem. I’m a Palestinian American based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

I’m raising funds for my friend Muhammad and his family. They’re currently in Gaza, specifically Al-Bureij camp, and need to raise funds for food.

I am raising funds to give to Muhammad and his family via PayPal.

I am from Gaza, specifically the central area of Al-Bureij camp

These are all the adults in Muhammad’s household:

Muhammad Ahmad Abu Shamis 2/04/1990

Iman Ahmad Abu Shamis 3/4/1992

Raja Abu Shamis 10/28/1968

Ahmad Abu Shamis 4/3/1963

Marwa Abu Shamis 4/8/1994

This is a statement from Muhammad:

I am Muhammad Ahmad Abu Shamis. My wife is Iman. I support my divorced sister. My father is over 60 years old, and my mother is 58 years old. They suffer from chronic diseases. I support the children of my missing brother, Ahmad, Ayoub, and Omar, who are under the age of ten.

I support my sister Yazan, Mohammed, Lian and Rowan’s children. Yazan is 6 years old, Mohammed is 8, Rowan is 5 and Lian is 3 years old.

I want money to help satisfy the children's hunger and feed them. They are suffering to buy food, flour, and clothes. The house was destroyed, and everything was destroyed with it. They have no food, no water, and no clothes. The house was completely destroyed, and I will send photos documenting the house. We live in a dilapidated tent. If I receive a suitable donation, I will build a shelter that is somewhat suitable for living, better than a tent, to protect them from the heat of summer and the cold of winter. I will renovate a room to protect them from the remains of the destruction and the random fires. The tent does not protect. I will work hard to satisfy their hunger and protect them in order to survive.

I am from Gaza, specifically the central area of Al-Bureij camp.
