My name is Farzin--I live in the states and am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my friends Jaber and Ruba. I got to know Jaber during the war on Gaza and since then we have become good friends. Please read their story and I hope you will consider donating to support his son's very dire medical needs.

Urgent Appeal: Help Secure Lifesaving Treatment for Mohammed, Our Brave 3-Year-Old Fighter

Hello, I’m Jaber Elghazali from Gaza. I am stranded in Egypt with my wife Ruba, our three-year old daughter Eileen and our five-year-old son Mohammed. We came to Egypt right before the genocide in Gaza to seek treatment for our dear Mohammed, who is battling cerebral atrophy. It is a life-threatening condition, and we fought for years to get him special treatment abroad.

But soon after we arrived in Egypt, the genocide broke out in Gaza, and now, with no way to contact our family back home and no funds left, we have had to stop Mohammed’s treatment — and his life is now at risk. The double heartbreak of watching our son suffer here in Egypt while our family suffers in Gaza is unbearable. We feel completely lost.

Mohammed, our little sunshine, brings so much joy into our lives with his beautiful smile. Despite his strength and resilience, the pain he endures breaks our hearts. We can no longer afford the intensive and vital physiotherapy sessions needed for his mobility and survival.

We created this new campaign out of desperation, after our previous efforts fell short. Your kindness and generosity can make a huge difference in Mohammed’s life. Please donate what you can and share his story widely.

Here are some images from my son's scans:

As we try to provide medical treatment for our son our home and life back in Gaza has been destroyed as well.

Together, let's ensure Mohammed's smile never fades. Thank you for your support.

Warm regards,

Jaber and Ruba
