Help a Family in Gaza Escape Starvation and Bombings

Story

A message from the Mahdi Family Dear kind-hearted supporters, My name is Mahdi, a father of five children, and I am writing this with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for help. My family is among the thousands in Gaza who have lost everything due to the ongoing war and relentless destruction. Our home — the only place where my children felt safe — was completely destroyed. Now, we are left with nothing but fear, loss, and the will to survive. We are living in unimaginable conditions, without shelter, without food, and without clean water. As a father, it breaks me to see my children suffer — not from illness, but from hunger, cold, and the trauma of war. We have no source of income, no access to basic needs, and no support on the ground. We are humbly asking for your help to: Rebuild a small shelter for my family Provide food and clean drinking water for my children Purchase essential supplies like clothing and hygiene products Your generosity, no matter how small, can make a life-saving difference. Every donation brings us one step closer to restoring safety and dignity for my children. Please help us survive this devastating time. From one parent to another — from one human being to another — we ask you to stand with us. With heartfelt gratitude, The Mahdi Family Transparency Statement My name is Tara Patil, and I am a concerned individual and activist based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I am organizing this fundraiser to support Mahdi Yahya, a father of five children — Noor Wajeeh, Tala Mahdi, Gana Mahdi, Mohammed Mahdi, and Yousef Mahdi — who are currently living in central Gaza. Their home was destroyed during the ongoing bombardment, and they are in urgent need of shelter, food, and clean water. I am in direct contact with Mahdi through Whatsapp and TikTok (@mahdiyahya633), where he shares updates and evidence of his situation. He has personally provided names, details, and video evidence of his family’s current conditions. I have verified as much information as possible and remain in regular communication with him. The funds will be used solely for humanitarian purposes, including: Rebuilding a basic shelter for the family Purchasing food, clean water, hygiene items, and clothing Funds will be transferred directly to Mahdi Yahya via Bank of Palestine, which he currently has access to.

A message from the Mahdi Family

Dear kind-hearted supporters,

My name is Mahdi, a father of five children, and I am writing this with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for help. My family is among the thousands in Gaza who have lost everything due to the ongoing war and relentless destruction.

Our home — the only place where my children felt safe — was completely destroyed. Now, we are left with nothing but fear, loss, and the will to survive. We are living in unimaginable conditions, without shelter, without food, and without clean water.

As a father, it breaks me to see my children suffer — not from illness, but from hunger, cold, and the trauma of war. We have no source of income, no access to basic needs, and no support on the ground.

We are humbly asking for your help to:

Rebuild a small shelter for my family

Provide food and clean drinking water for my children

Purchase essential supplies like clothing and hygiene products

Your generosity, no matter how small, can make a life-saving difference. Every donation brings us one step closer to restoring safety and dignity for my children.

Please help us survive this devastating time. From one parent to another — from one human being to another — we ask you to stand with us.

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Mahdi Family
