<div><strong>Families Feeding Families in Gaza: A Lifeline Under Fire</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since the beginning of Israel’s full-scale assault on Gaza, the Aldaghma family—have risked their lives to distribute food, water, and emergency aid to displaced families across Khan Younis and Rafah.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What began as an effort to survive quickly turned into a grassroots mutual aid network. With the formal aid system gutted by airstrikes, bureaucratic blockades, and foreign complicity, everyday Palestinians like the Aldaghmas have stepped in to fill the vacuum—feeding tens of thousands, often from their own kitchen floor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign directly supports their work, and they have only been able to do it with the help of donations from regular people, and the publicity of kind news outlets. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are no big NGOs here. No inflated salaries or overhead. Just a family on the ground, moving money and meals faster than any official channel. This isn’t about politics. It’s about refusing to let starvation be used as a weapon of war.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Aldaghmas are living proof that even under siege, solidarity is possible. Despite losing their homes and being forced to flee repeatedly, they continue to serve others—cooking meals, organizing distributions, and sharing every dollar with those in greatest need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you believe in justice, if you believe Palestinians deserve to live and eat and grieve and heal—stand with them.
</div>
<div>Give if you can. Share if you can’t. But don’t stay silent.
</div>
<div>With love, Stephanie Byars CPA, volunteer Gaza Bakery

</div>
<div><strong>Our Mission: Providing Emergency Aid to Gaza</strong>
</div>
<div>Thanks to your generosity, we have expanded our volunteer operations and are now providing food, water, and emergency aid to thousands of displaced families, including over 200 children and 50 orphans. Your support is saving lives, offering hope, and allowing us to continue helping those in desperate need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Spending Breakdown:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Free meals &amp; water for displaced families in Gaza: 40%
</li>
<li>Kitchen equipment, supplies, and shelter for operations in Gaza and Egypt: 18%
</li>
<li>GoFundMe fees: Estimated 3%
</li>
<li>Cash transfer fees (due to barriers in getting money to Gaza): 30-40%
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>100% of your voluntary donations are sent directly to Gaza. We operate transparently, and no funds are retained for expenses outside of the direct aid being provided.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>About the Aldaghma Family:</strong>
</div>
<div>As-salaam 'alykum. My name is Mohammed Aldaghma, a Palestinian from Gaza, now living in Belgium.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In Gaza, my family owned and operated Bab Al-Hara, a restaurant in Khan Younis that provided comfort food to beachgoers. This restaurant was more than just a business—it was our home, our livelihood, and our passion. In 2014, everything changed when our restaurant was bombed during military raids. We lost many loved ones, including my cousin Hamdr, and like many Palestinians, we were left homeless and without work. We have struggled to survive ever since.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since October 2023, as families fled their homes and sought shelter in camps, we decided to use our skills to feed those in need. Thanks to your kindness, we’ve been able to cook hundreds, even thousands, of meals for displaced families in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While we have lost much, we have not lost our will to help others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This is Not a Charity—It’s an Emergency Relief Effort</strong>
</div>
<div>This is not a registered charity organization. It is a grassroots emergency relief effort where citizens are helping citizens in a time of extreme need. No services, products, or tax receipts will be provided to donors. Your donation will directly support families in Gaza and Egypt, providing them with food, water, and shelter to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds go directly to the cause. Mohammed personally handles all transfers to ensure that the money reaches the families in Gaza. Due to government restrictions and blockades, it is nearly impossible for people in Gaza to receive money directly, so the survival of these families depends on the generosity and support of people like you, who are willing to navigate the many obstacles in place to deliver aid.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why Your Donation Is Not Taxable in Belgium
</div>
<div>In Belgium, personal donations made for emergency situations like this are not considered taxable income, provided that the donations are voluntary and no service or benefit is exchanged. This campaign is entirely focused on providing life-saving relief to those in need, not for tax deductions or receipts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No funds are retained in Belgium, nor are they used for anything other than helping the Aldaghma family trapped in Gaza, and the thousands of other families we are feeding and supporting in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
