My name is Haley. I am a public health consultant in Arizona. I have been talking with Ahmed Al Zaty and his family since February 2025, learning about the terrors they have experienced in Gaza since October 2023. I am sending 100% of all funds raised to Ahmed, which he then transfers into cash with a 50% local commission fee. Please help me to support Ahmed and his beautiful family with the most basic necessities - food, water, and medicine - until they can rebuild their lives. From Ahmed:

Hello, I am Ahmed, a Palestinian father of two beautiful children, Raed (6 years old) and Helena (4 years old). After many years of renting, I built a home with the sweat of my brow. After only a few months of living in my home, in October 2023, my wife, children, and I left it, never to return. We did not even take our clothes or our university degrees. At first, I was able to continue working for my family in Central Gaza, but after a while, my entire workplace was destroyed, and we were displaced again. This was not the first displacement - we were displaced 14 times. We escaped from fear, bombing, and destruction and moved in with relatives. We were then all displaced from there and took refuge in a school, then to the southern Gaza Strip, then to central Gaza, then to Khan Yunis.... We don't have much hope anymore.

Maybe you are tired of reading all of this. We are tired of living it. Perhaps $10 can buy you a coffee in your country, but it can help support my family and our dreams of surviving. Please donate whatever you can. Thank you very much for reading my story.
