Help Fares bring food, water, and relief to children in Gaza

My name is Fares Raed Abed, and I am collecting money to help children and displaced people in Gaza by bringing them toys, food, bread, and water. I use a little of the money to help my family as well.

I have been helping these people and children since the war began.

A water truck costs $300.

Distributing food costs $500 to 100 displaced families.

The bread costs $250.

Prices in Gaza are very expensive.

When I am doing this, I am very, very happy and I say that this thing will put me in heaven because I am helping people. I don’t need anything except to make the children happy, even if it is just a little.

اسمي فارس رائد عابد، وأقوم بجمع الأموال لمساعدة الأطفال والنازحين في غزة من خلال جلب الألعاب والطعام والخبز والماء لهم. أستخدم القليل من المال لمساعدة عائلتي أيضًا.

وانا اساعد هده الناس والاطفال مند بدئ الحرب

ان سياره المياه تكلف 300 دولار

ان توزيع الطعام يكلف 500 دولار ل ١٠٠ عائله نازحه

وتكلفت الخبز 250 دولار

ان الاسعار في غزه غاليه التمن

وانا عندما افعل هاد الشيئ اكون سعيد جدا جدا واقول ان هاد الشيئ سوف يكون في ادخالي الجنه لانني اساعد الناس انا لا احتاج شيئ سوا اسعاد الاطفال ولو بالقليل

Note from the organizer:

Hi, this is Daniel Merrill, I am 34 years old and I live in the United States, in Oregon. I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my friend Fares Raed Abed, who is 22 years old and is in Deir al-Balah in the center of Gaza. You can find his account on Instagram here .

I will transfer all the money from this campaign to Fares using PayPal. The funds will be sent to the PayPal account belonging to either to his friend Muhannad Talat, who is 25, or to Tajibayeva Rano, who is 29, based on the needs of the present circumstances. They will then give the funds to Fares.

Every few hundred dollars raised allows for distribution of bread or water, according to the costs listed above.

Thank you very much for your compassion and support.

Additional notes

Please see the video on my Instagram page of the kids enjoying Eid al Adha thanks to your donations. If you could share this video to help grow our reach, I would be very grateful.

Fares has also asked for support for his own family, they need help with food and health treatments and are hoping to raise the funds needed to evacuate Gaza to safety. You can read more of Fares’ story and support his family directly here.
