**YES, this is Abdullah's second GoFundMe campaign. Please read the update below!

My name is JR Rymut from Oregon, USA. I am a friend of Abdullah Omar, a young man living in Gaza. I'm moved by Abdullah's powerful & vivid writing, as he has been sharing his experience with the world through his blog & social media. I'm helping with his fundraiser to benefit him & his family.

He shares these words with you:

"Hello friends, I have been thinking about what life will bring-- not only immediately, but after this genocide finally ends. I have been in Gaza for my entire life, but lately, I feel as if I need to leave. I need to think of my safety, above all else. I need to think of what might be best in terms of even starting to heal from this absolute nightmare. And after much debating, I have decided that I may need to leave Gaza to ensure I have the best chance of achieving these things. As you are aware, leaving Gaza is extremely expensive. I am counting on you to please donate to my Donation campaign and spread this message, so that I may have the funds to evacuate, once the ceasefire is reached. I am not looking to debate this decision, as nobody knows what we in Gaza are feeling unless you have lived through the genocide, as we have. Please think well of me, I am only trying to do what I think I need to do to be able to process and heal, after a ceasefire is reached. Please, my friends, support me and my decision, and please donate and widely share my Donation campaign. I am forever grateful for your help and support. I love you all!"
