Hello,
My name is Aaron, I am a software developer and I reside in Pickering, Canada. I am someone seeing injustice in the world and trying to do what I can to ease the suffering of those who are being oppressed.
I came into contact with Amileen through another family in Gaza and have spent the last couple weeks talking with her and getting to know her. She has no one else to setup her campaign so I have taken it upon myself to do it.
Amileen lives with her sons who were all severely injured in an early bombardment. As her home was bombed, and subsequently her tent was destroyed in another bombing, they now live in another families tent which is very cramped and they hope this is a temporary situation and to acquire a new tent.
Amileen and her family:
My husband's name is Salim - age 52
My name is Amileen - age 50
My eldest son is Rabhi - Age 26
My daughter is Maryam - Age 25
Yahya another son is age 21
Basem the youngest son is age 19
They are currently staying in Khan Yunis Al-Mawasi, Al-Muhsinin Camp.
Amileen has this to share:
"Hello, I am Ameline from Gaza, 50 years old. I suffer from diabetes and am married to Salim, 52 years old, who can only see in one eye due to corneal abrasions. We have 4 children, 3 of whom were injured in this war
Rabhi, 26 years old, suffered from spinal cord inflammation before the war, which prevented him from walking. During the war, he was injured in a bombing. He now suffers from severe depression
Yahya, 20 years old, was also injured in the bombing
Basem, 19 years old, was injured in the bombing
My daughter Maryam is married and has a child for whom we cannot provide milk and diapers. She also suffers from malnutrition
I lost my home and everything at the beginning of this war. I also lost my tent a month ago in a bombing in our area. Now I live with another family. We are suffering from hunger due to the closure of the crossings and the siege. I ask you to help us so that we can continue this life."
As you can see the situation for Amileen is quite critical from all aspects and personally my heart breaks hearing how challenging things have been for her and her children.
This campaign will raise funds to acquire a new tent (700$ USD) for Amileen and her sons to provide them with a better living space that is less cramped, which will hopefully help with their continued mental health. This campaign along the way needs to also address the concerns with food, milk for her granddaughter, as well as medical supplies (these prices fluctuate).
I will transfer the funds utilizing international money transfers using my banks transfer system. We have already tested this method using my own donation to her through my bank and I will be able to continue to use this method as she has an app that allows her to manage the funds digitally for use.
