My name is Serina Hammon, I am currently living in the United States - I am organizing this fundraiser for my friend Dima Alghrbawi, who is currently living through the genocide taking place in Gaza. I want you to hear from her, in her own words. But before I share her story I want to let everyone know this is a new fundraiser we recently made in November of 2025 due to the fact that her previous campaign does not properly reflect their need for assistance. All the money previously donated has already been used to help them survive. But they need continuous support to make it through winter.

"I am Dima from Gaza, a member of a family consisting of 10 members. I am 22 years old. I graduated with a communications diploma and was seeking to complete my studies abroad, but the war came that deprived us of all our dreams. After completing my communications diploma, I trained for 6 months in graphic design, and I intended to obtain a bachelor’s degree in this field. Since I was young, I had 5 operations at different ages on my feet, the first of which was at a year and a half, a tendon operation in Egypt, but unfortunately, I had to do the same operation at the age of 7 years in Egypt. At the age of 15, I did the third one here in Gaza, but I was not lucky, and the operation failed because of the skin opening, and it led to other problems in my feet, problems with the nerves of movement and sensation, so I had a nerve transplant in high school, and it led to major deformities, no less than 50 stitches, and this is my life between operations and wars.

However, I have not lost hope or the taste for life. I am a tennis player, I ride horses, and I am good at almost all sports and some drawing, handicrafts, and a sense of architecture. Therefore, I want your help to complete my dreams and studies and survive the war."

Dima has a very large family that she is trying to support with food, shelter, medical supplies, clothes, blankets, literally everything. We are both so so grateful to everyone that supports and gifts to them.
