Help Aaed's Family Survive this crisis!

Recipient Information:

My name is Aaed from Gaza. I am 24 years old and take care of my family of 7 people. My family and I live in very difficult conditions in a tent with no mattresses.

We are 7 people: dad, mother, brother, and 3 sisters. We have lost everything, including many relatives and friends. We have lost our homes and we have nothing left in this life.

We are always exposed to famine and difficulty in providing water and food. Please help me make sure my family survives during this cruel time. I am doing everything I can to help them! I hope you can help me because we will starve without your help. My siblings have lost two years of school and we have nothing but each other. I am currently in the hospital suffering from a cyst in my chest and need breathing treatments and medicine so I can recover enough to go find food to buy for my family. I need your help because I cannot do this alone.

Sponsor Information:

Hello, my name is Katheryn Wood and I am a US citizen and 30-year educator living in N. California. I met and was drawn to Aaed because he is the same age as my own son; I cannot imagine my son having to navigate the horror Aaed is living in every day. If he did, I hope a "Mother" would have mercy on him and not leave him to feel devastated alone. I am now Aaed's 2nd Mother and will do what I can to assist my friend so that he and his siblings have a chance to survive and realize their dreams someday. I have video-chatted for over one year with Aaed and have gotten to know him on a personal level to provide much-needed encouragement. We text daily, despite inconsistent internet, and I have confirmed his location via GPS. Please help me help a family in a tangible, meaningful way. They have lost so many family members and friends and have to continue trudging on despite their deep sadness. We are their only source of money to buy food. If it matters, I do have Aaed's full name, but am not posting it here. Thank you for your generous spirit--please lean in if you are able! ❤️✌
