Help a Palestinian clothing store stay open

Hello everybody! My name is Reem. Through this GoFundMe page, I am trying to help a young Palestinian man during these difficult times. Due to the severe economic situation in Palestine (exacerbated by Covid and the ongoing conflict in Gaza), he is struggling to keep his shop open and provide for his family. Here is his story:

Hello all! My name is Adel. I am 27 years old and live in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank of Palestine. To support my family, I ventured into the clothing business. At the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic, I owned a store. However, the economic downturn forced me to close it shortly after opening. Determined to start over, I eventually raised enough funds to open a smaller shop. The store was thriving, and I could cover my family’s expenses. Everything was stable until the war began on October 7th. Since then, things have taken a turn for the worse… The store has not been generating significant income since October, compelling me to borrow money to keep it operational. Unfortunately, the conflict has persisted longer than anticipated, and now I am struggling to manage the store’s expenses, my personal finances, and my family’s needs. I have invested a considerable amount of money, time, and effort into this store. It is my sole means of survival, and I am desperate to keep it open. However, if the current situation persists, I may have to shut down in 2-3 months. I am in need of a little assistance to weather this storm and regain stability. Every bit of help is significant and deeply appreciated.

Thank you, everyone!

The donations will be directly allocated to Adel. They will be used to cover the store’s rent and to restock with new clothing items, enabling continued sales.
