Hi everyone, this is Kayla (or Phoenix [nobara's straw doll] from TikTok) with another friend who is in need of assistance. His name is Ahmed Abu Assi, and he is attempting to get himself and his family members to safety. Ahmed and his family are trapped in the heart of the Gaza catastrophe. They desperately need your help to escape the ongoing violence, so please donate to support their evacuation efforts if possible. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a life-saving difference. Here is his story:

Hello, how are you? I am Ahmed Abu Assi from Gaza. I cannot find food, drink, a house, or milk. I hope you can make me happy, please.

I was working in the aluminum industry. I succeeded, I could provide for my family. I lived with my children and 12 cousins in my home, but now it is destroyed.

I am on the street and I cannot find a tent to live in with my wife and my two children, Mohammed and Muhannad. Every day is dangerous and I fear for our safety. I wish everyone in my family happiness someday.

My loved ones and I are injured because of the war, and we need treatment and surgery. I wish everyone will give what they can. I pray God will not allow anyone who can make me happy to not make me happy for the sake of the little children.

I need milk, food, a tent, and soon money to leave. Please, please make us happy. Please help us find a way to be healthy again.

Your solidarity can make a difference for me and my family. I am compelled to ask for your help in this dark time. Help us cover the costs of leaving Gaza and start a new life in peace and with dignity.
