Hello everyone,

My name is Lucy Burgess Fisher from British Columbia, Canada. I am writing on behalf of my dear friend, Hassan Mohamed, whom, along with the 9 members of his family, has been subjected to constant bombing, starvation, and so many other horrors as they try to survive in Gaza. In just a few weeks, they saw their entire lives destroyed in the most heartbreaking ways imaginable. Almost a year into this nightmare, Hassan is still trying to evacuate himself, his 2 parents, and his 3 brothers, along with his wife and 2 sweet little children. No one should have to endure such atrocities! Please help give them a chance to resettle and safely restart their lives. All funds will be directly wired to Hassan.

**As the Egyptian border is currently closed, some of the funds may be used to feed his family while they wait to safely evacuate.**

Here are Hassan's words to the world:

Dear world,

Israeli war and bombardment have taken a toll on everyone to the point where there’s no safe place left. Friends and family have been bombed and killed. Nearly 70% of Gaza strip houses are destroyed, yet the Israeli occupation army has moved forward in launching a ground invasion on the last two safe zones in the Gaza Strip. I happen to be living in one of these two areas, in particular, Khanyouns City, which is being bombed from land, air, and sea. Amidst the Israeli devastation and genocide on us televised to the world, I can no longer continue living as normal. I fear for my life, I fear for my family’s lives too.

Therefore, I invite you to join hands in a humanitarian effort to evacuate us from the horrors of war and have a chance for a new beginning.

My story is one of many Palestinian youth who dream of living a normal life away from the consistent killing and bombardment. In the past 9 months of the genocide on Gaza, we all have faced unimaginable scenes of death, destruction, and starvation, yet this continues!! I appeal to the honest and sincere world for support. After many weeks of bombs, I can only hope to escape the immediate danger and horror and pave the way for a safer, more hopeful future.

The goal is to raise enough funds to cover the costs of our collective evacuation, relocation, and initial resettlement. These funds will ensure our safety and provide an opportunity to rebuild life again from scratch.

Here’s how you can make a difference:

1. Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, will bring us closer to our goal. Your donation will directly contribute to my family's journey to safety.

2. Share: Spread the word, please share this on your social media, within your community, and amongst friends and family. The power of our collective support can make a significant impact.

By coming together, I hope my family can make it to a safer life away from the dire and unfortunate reality of death and destruction in Gaza.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Sincerely,

Hassan
