Help Evacuate my family from Gaza
Donation protected

My name is Mona, My family in Gaza is currently trapped in a war zone. It has claimed the lives of loved ones, destroyed the homes and livelihoods of the rest and is continuing to threaten the lives of the surviving families.
I am trying to make arrangements for my family ( 25 members including 6children), which consists of my dad , my two cousins with their families, and two aunts. W need support to evacuate them from Gaza to Egypt through the the Rafah crossing. Unfortunately, the cost of evacuating each person has been escalating, and currently it is $5000 USD.
My family house and cars were destroyed at the beginning of the war after the building in front of her family’s house was bombed



All of our family houses have been affected and destroyed, as they were located near the Islamic and Al Azhar Universities.
After that, we had to evacuate to Khan Yunis to my aunt’s house. We stayed for more than two months, but it was bombed. My family went to Rafah as well, but the entire house was bombed. Our family is in Rafah, and 5 members of the family were killed and the others were seriously injured including my dad. They were pulled out from under the rubble
My family is currently under constant psychological pressure, fear, confusion, and waiting in difficult living and health conditions. Access to appropriate food has become everyone's dream,
In this fundraising campaign, I am hoping to raise $152,736 CAD (~$112,828 USD) for my family's cost of leaving Gaza, here is the breakdown of the funds needed:
- Crossing Permit for adults ($ 5,000 USD per person): 19 x 7,000 = $133,000 CAD
- Crossing Permit for children ($2,500 USD per kid): 6x 2500 = $ 15000CAD
- A total of $4736CAD will be used to cover GoFundMe transaction fees (2.9% plus $0.30 per donation)
Total: 152,736
Your support can change the course of their lives. I fear for my family not only from losing their lives but also from losing their minds from the traumas of all these successive wars, violence and now the associated displacement, hunger and risk of poverty
I’m heartbroken that it is our turn to be the ones in need.
Thank you for any contribution you can make.
