Disclaimer: I am a close friend of the Al-Ashi family running this campaign. Since GoFundMe is not supported in Gaza, fundraisers are run by friends and family. Please note that we have been thoroughly vetted by the GoFundMe team, and all donations go to Mahmoud and his family.

My name is Bailey—you can also call me Annique or Anya.

I am raising funds to help my friends in Gaza, who are living under extremely harsh humanitarian conditions with absolutely no source of income. They suffer daily from severe shortages of food and clean water, struggling to secure even the most basic necessities such as bread, rice, flour, and drinking water. With the skyrocketing cost of food, life has become harder than ever before.

All donations will be used to purchase food and water for this family. Any contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference and gives them hope to carry on.

A message from Mahmoud:

I am Mahmoud, a father and head of a household living under extremely difficult circumstances. Sometimes, my children and I go to sleep hungry; I often do not even have the money to buy bread or flour. My children ask me for food, and I am unable to provide it for them... this is the hardest feeling a father can ever endure.

All I ask is for your help in providing simple meals for my children. I swear by God, any assistance—even if it is small—makes a huge difference in our lives.

May God reward you with all goodness and count this as a credit in the balance of your good deeds.
