Hello, this is Ayyad. A dedicated young reporter and civilian in Gaza.

Ayyad's words:

New Hope in a Time of War – Help Us Persist

Hello,

My name is Anas Ayyad, and I live with my family in Gaza City, where we face the harsh reality imposed on us every day by the ongoing war. We live under constant threat, with the sounds of bombing and explosions constantly raging, and our small dreams have become a struggle for survival.

Because of the war, prices have skyrocketed, and it has become difficult to secure the most basic necessities of life, such as food and medicine. Rent is also rising beyond our means. We are trying to stay safe under a roof, but we are threatened with losing even this simple refuge.

I wanted to create this page to ask for your humanitarian support to help us overcome this ordeal. The money raised will be used to cover rent, food, and the basic needs that ensure a dignified life amidst this devastation.

Every contribution, no matter how small, means a lot to us. You are our hope after God.

Since Ayaad's profession is journalism, he hopes to use the funds from this campaign to continue making a living through his job. The funds raised from the campaign will provide assistance in obtaining photography equipment, whether through an organization or a delegation from abroad, or by raising the necessary amount of $10,000 to purchase all photography supplies: a camera with 3 lenses, a wireless microphone, a night light, a power bank, a memory card, batteries, a 1TB hard drive, and a camera stand.

This is Ayyad's call to you for help.

Know that your donation is one that will build someone a living and a home. One filled with love, sanctity and security.

Your money will allow someone to start making a living again.

Note: This fundraiser is being conducted by a representative of Ayyad, reason being because gofundme does not operate in the Palestinian region. Ayyad is also one of the friends that assisted Yousef during his social work for the people of Gaza, building tents, providing shelter and relief.

Thank you eternally.
