Help Asef and his family to survive and evacuate

Donation protected

Hello,
My name is Mohammed from Flordia, USA and I am helping my friend Asef Abu Riyala and his family (parents, brothers and sisters, wife, and his daughter Lujain) in Rafah/Gaza who have been suffering in this devastating war in Gaza. They had to evacuate several times and ended up in a tent on the street. They can hardly find the basic life necessities like clean fresh water, food, power, and security. The family house was partially demolished, they evacuated to a refugee camp and moved out time and again.
Asef and his family need food, water, and all basic life necessities to survive. The money you donate will help the family to live day by day, reconstruct and renew their house, and hopefully evacuate across the border to Egypt, but it costs $5000-$7000 per person to finalize this process.
Asef is welling to evacuate across the borders to Egypt along with his wife and daughter Lujain once he gets enough funds.
Your generous donations will help them move to a safe place.

All the raised funds will go to help Asef and his family.

Here the story from Asef himself:
“Hello, my name is Asef Abu Riyala, and I am from Gaza, and I seek your help and support for me and my family to live as we can hardly find food and water. It all started when we evacuated the Al Shatie refugee camp where all my family, my parents, brothers, and sisters have been living for decades. I got married a few years ago and lived with my wife in the big family house with my other brothers and their families. Due to the heavy gunfire in the area, we were afraid to stay as other buildings were completely knocked down, therefore, we evacuated our house, which was not suitable for living and was partially demolished. We moved then and sheltered at Abu Aasi School; a United Nation school and lived in one of the classes among other hundreds of other families. We stayed there for a month only to find ourselves obliged to move out again as the school surroundings were hit with heavy machine guns and the refugees were informed to evacuate the school. We headed to the Al-Nasr Children's Hospital and stayed there for 35 days to find ourselves having to evacuate for a third time since the hospital was under gun shells and fire. We were forced to evacuate to the south of the Gaza Valley on foot from the hospital to the Nuseirat Junction in the middle of the valley, more than 15 kilometers distance. We all ended up in a tent on the street close to Rafah south of Gaza.
My parents, brothers and sisters with their families, wife and daughter and I are living the worst days ever trying to survive the crises without even the basic life requirements and necessities, no power, no water, no food, no security. What is considered nothing for you to think or worry about, such as a bottle of fresh clean water, is something we have not had for weeks.
Your support will make a big difference, help me to support my family to survive this crisis and perhaps evacuate to a secure place if we can afford it.”
