<div>Thank you for considering a donation, your help is urgently needed. Gaza has been in an enormous crisis, and your donations are largely spent as soon as they reach Abedallah.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Christa Robinson and I am a graduate student at Michigan State University who works on issues of social justice. Since early summer 2024, I have been creating fundraisers for Palestinian families at their request. My Gaza family has grown to 12 fundraisers, and some of those beneficiaries have met and have been helping each other. They share their lives with me, working through a language barrier, culture barrier, and a seven hour time difference to try and relay their stories to me. Over the last few months I have been there for births and deaths, birthdays, celebrations, sorrows, grief, and fears. They think of me as dear friends or family, and some of them even call me Mama Christa or Mama Christia. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My dear friends in Gaza have lived most of their lives under a brutal occupation and the last 15 months of their lives have been under a genocidal war. While there is a ceasefire now in Gaza, there is not an end to stochastic violence and ruthless blockades so Palestinians who were already subjected to widespread poverty must continually plead for donations in lieu of international support and humanitarian aid, lives of achievement notwithstanding. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My friends must now start over while grieving tremendous loss of life among their neighbors, friends, and family and amid unimaginable destruction. The entire civilian infrastructure and means of sustaining life was maliciously targeted. Over 90% of the homes have been destroyed, the health system has collapsed, churches and mosques have been obliterated, water and sewage treatment has collapsed, there is no electricity, and there is widespread disease and famine but little humanitarian aid or international aid. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My friends who are from the north are no longer speaking of their homes being reduced to rubble but that they have been reduced to dust. They have all witnessed death violence and destruction on a daily basis and have fled for their lives under fire. They have lived in tents that were quickly damaged by the winter weather and the hot summer sun, as well as by theft and vandalism. They have had many injuries due to the war, and sustained lung damage and infections from the conditions there. There are no psychological or counseling services made available to them, there is a blockade on transportation home, and it is largely up to each family to retrieve their dead and without tools to dig them out from under the rubble.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Individual fundraisers like these are an attempt to make up for the lack of infrastructure and application of international law. It can be very difficult and frustrating, however, as there seems to be an empathy gap for Palestinians, compared to other causes and their pleas are often ignored or held in great suspicion. The money that you see raised is spent as it comes in as prices have been astronomical and the will of potential donors to contribute has been tepid. Please help us change that by donating to this campaign and sharing it among your friends. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will be used to meet the basic needs of the beneficiary, including food, medicine, clothes, shelter, and household items, as well as transportation and for some, education costs. After months of war, they are starting a new life where they used to live, but now it looks as unrecognizable as it is unlivable. The funds will be transferred to the recipient using a wire transfer service (typically PayPal) or wired via international wire transfers to their bank.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With hope and gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Christa Robinson

</div>
<div>p.s. Please read Abedallah's war story and plea below: 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m Abedallah from Gaza. I had a beautiful life before the war. I was working and studying at my university and graduated just months before the war began. Then war came upon us on October 7th, 2023, and so soon after my graduation day, I lost my university, my home, and my job to the war's destruction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been displaced twice and have suffered through many losses. The first time I was displaced from Gaza to Rafah living in a tent until it flooded after seven months. Then without shelter, I was forced to flee again to Deir al-Balah, where I have faced bombardment and lost dear friends to the attacks on school shelters and refugee camps. We Palestinians are barely surviving facing shortages of food and water. We lack basic necessities for survival, and now we are being displaced again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to thank you for reading my story, and I hope you support me so that I can stay alive in light of these difficult conditions that we, the displaced, are going through.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My friends, your help will make a difference in my life.
