My name is Nesrine Sabrina Fauss, a German-Algerian citizen. I am raising funds to help Ahmed Elshorafa, his wife Hala, and their child Hamouda escape the devastating war in Gaza and begin a new life in Canada.

I know them personally—Hala was my close friend and neighbor in Algeria before she returned to Palestine due to family circumstances. Tragically, their home in Gaza has been bombed twice. The second strike completely destroyed it, leaving them with no shelter, no belongings, and no safe place to go.

Ahmed has made the difficult decision to leave Gaza with his family in search of safety, stability, and hope. The path to Canada is long and costly, but it is their best chance for a secure and dignified life.

We have broken down the journey into clear stages so every donor knows exactly how their support will be used:

⸻

Stage 1: Evacuation from Gaza to Egypt

• Border fees and exit permits: $1,000–1,500 USD for the family

• Transport from Rafah border to Cairo: $200–300 USD

Subtotal: $1,200–1,800 USD

⸻

Stage 2: Immigration Process for Canada (Express Entry Pathway)

• Government application fees for the whole family: $5,000–6,000 USD

• Credential assessment (ECA): $200–300 USD

• English test (IELTS/CELPIP): $250–350 USD per adult

• Medical exams: $300–500 USD per person

• Biometrics: $85 USD per person

• Legal/immigration consultant fees (optional but recommended): $1,000–3,000 USD

Subtotal: $7,000–10,000 USD

⸻

Stage 3: Travel from Egypt to Canada

• Flight tickets: $800–1,500 USD per person

• Luggage and relocation costs: $100–300 USD

Subtotal: $3,200–6,000 USD

⸻

Stage 4: First 3 Months in Canada

• Rent for a small family apartment: $1,200–2,500 USD per month

• Utilities, food, and transportation: $600–1,000 USD per month

• Total for 3 months: $7,200–15,000 USD

⸻

Total Estimated Cost: $18,600–32,800 USD

This amount will cover every step—from leaving Gaza to settling in Canada. Every single contribution, no matter the size, brings them closer to safety.

A message from Ahmed:

“I am reaching out to you with a plea for help. Our home is gone, our future here is gone. I just want my wife and child to live in safety, without fear. With your kindness, we can make it to Canada and rebuild our lives. Your support is our lifeline.”
