Help Ahmed and His Family Evacuate Gaza
I am Ahmed Al-Kurd from Gaza, Palestine.

We are currently enduring the severe conditions of the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Today, with a heavy heart and an urgent plea, I reach out to you for support to help my family members, including me, my parents, and my 3 sisters, get out of Gaza and arrive in Canada.

Tragedy has struck my family with unimaginable force, as we lost more than 100 members of our extended family in a devastating airstrike. We have witnessed the deaths of too many people in front of our eyes.

The impact of nearby explosions has left us with deep stress, and our situation has become increasingly precarious. Also, our home has been partially damaged, and we are running out of food and water.

In the wake of these horrific events, we are looking to get out safely into Egypt and then apply for asylum during UNCHR with a glimmer of hope for a safer and more stable future.

However, the journey to reach Canada is fraught with obstacles, and we find ourselves in desperate need of your support to facilitate our safe travel via Egypt.

The coordinators in Egypt, who have the authority to add our names to the traveler's list, are demanding proof of the funds before considering any additions. They insist on a fee of $6,000 per person.

To facilitate the evacuation of my family to Egypt, I have initiated a fundraising campaign.

We are hoping to raise $53,000.
Your generous contributions will go towards the following:

$36,000 ($6,000 x 6 people) for the Rafah Crossing permit.
$4,000 will go towards urgent healthcare, transportation from Gaza to Egypt, and other humanitarian needs.
$12,000 ($2,000 x 6 people) will go towards a period of our stay in Egypt for at least 6 months.
$1,000 to cover GoFundMe transaction fees.

Thank you for considering our plea as well as your compassion and support in this critical time of need.
