Help Jamal and his family evacuate from Gaza to Egypt
My name is Jamie and I am fundraising for Jamal and his family (total 6 people). They have lost everything in Gaza, their familly home (see pictures below) and a coffee shop/restaurant Titanic which was fanous but is now completely destroyed. Jamal and hss family now live in a tent, waiting to get out. I run a charity Magic for Smiles which uses magic as a form of trauma relief for children affected by war and for which fundraising is separate,

Jamal and his wife have 3 sons and a daughter. He is an English teacher of 13 years as well as being a songwriter and restauranteur.
Jamal writes: "All I want nowadays is to help my children get out of this bloody war and give them a new chance to live a better life. I hope to help my family to evacuate to Egypt, but unfortunately this costs a fortune these days because of the war. I also need some fund for a short while [for my family] to live in Egypt where I would have nothing"

He says: "Gaza now is just a graveyard. I had many dreams but these dreams evaporated since October 7th, as I found myself in a terrible war and a genocide. The occupation destroyed everything I had achieved over many years of my life. There is no place for hope, no schools for teaching, no hospitals for healthcare, no houses for living in. And I have children and these are their rights. They need a better place for them. They deserve it".
Jamal also writes: "The first thing is my house which has been completely destroyed. and there is no house left for me and my children after the end of this dammned war. The second thing is my own place "Titanic" (photo below) which was a coffee shop and restaurant, and was one of the most famous places in Gaza. But unfortunately the occupation destroyed it on 9 January 2024 and nothing remains of the restaurant except photos and memories'.

Jamal was introduced to me through the https://www.handsupproject.org where he has contributed as a highly valued volunteer teacher before this wretched war on Gaza https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exyq53OvIV8
