Help a Gazan Family, Khan Youness, Requiring of Basic Needs

The following is a translated message of the father of the family in Gaza I am gathering money for:

"Al-salam alikom wa rahmtou Allah wa brkatoh

I would like to introduce myself first. My name is Salem Hilmi Abu Rukhaya, I am 33 years old, married and a father of four children. Unfortunately, our life has gone through difficult circumstances since we lost our home due to the war that destroyed all our memories and possessions.

We now live in worn-out tents in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis, where we suffer from harsh conditions including lack of food, clothing, and treatment. Unfortunately, our suffering is not limited to living conditions only, but we also face health difficulties. My son Yazan, who is 11 years old, suffers from malnutrition and severe thinness in his body, while my daughter Areej, who is 6 years old, suffers from a heart problem that requires continuous medical care.

As for me, I suffer from a visual disability caused by cataracts in both eyes, which makes it difficult for me to provide the family's needs.

We are in urgent need of your kind support to provide food, medicine, and basic clothing, as well as medical care for my children. We know that the situation is difficult for everyone, but any help will have a great impact on improving our lives.

We hope you will extend a helping hand and assistance as soon as possible, because we are in a situation that cannot tolerate delay.

May God reward you for all the support you provide, and we ask God to place it in the balance of your good deeds.

With sincere greetings and appreciation,

Salem Hilmi Abu Rukhaya

Al-salam alikom wa rahmtou Allah"

Attached are pictures of the medical reports, and a translation of each at the end.

I am Ahmed Amin. Me and my Friend Abdulrehman Mukadam are Muslims Canadians, seeking to help this brother in Gaza and his family. I got to know Salim through Whatsapp and have had many conversations with him and have seen his family many times. We are friends and brothers.

For anyone who would like to contact me for further questions via the GoFundMe contact icon

I will provide those who would like to get to know brother Salim and speak with him themselves with his number, but after authenticating your persona, because I don't want him to be put in danger by publicly posting his number.

Your donations buy flour, rice, drinking water, diapers and medication.

It will be sent by PayPal to a money exchange office and Salim will receive it himself. And videos will be taken of the process for those who require it.

Important: Around 33% of all funds entering Gaza are taken by the money exchange person in Gaza. I swear upon Allah that I as the donation collector, and anyone helping me, do not take even a dollar for ourselves, nothing. Any money that is transferred there needs to be changed to the shekel currency, and that is the only way any money can enter Gaza, No one sending money to Gaza can get around this (some can decrease the fee by personal connections) and we have tried and are still trying. I am telling you this because I seek to be fully honest with you from the beginning. I know many people do not mention this fee because they fear that it would discourage the donors but I am only telling you in fear of Allah's judgment. If any of you get discouraged it is okay, Allah will provide for these people whether it is through us or by other people. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Finally, if you wish to make this a periodic donation, or get updates about your donation, get in contact with the camp families or would like to speak to someone in Arabic contact me.

This is one Family in a camp that doesn't receive aid due to its location, so do not hesitate to ask questions and after you are sure of the case do not hesitate to donate.
