Hi, my name is Lenzi, from London. I have been asked by my friend Khaled living in Gaza to create this fundraiser to help support his family. The donations will be used by Khaled to buy food, supplies, basics necessities and water.

Read his story below.

Thank you.

Hello and welcome. My name is Khaled, a 33-year-old Palestinian man from Deir al-Balah in Gaza. I’m married and have a young daughter, her name is Salsabil and she is 4 years old. I live with my mother after we lost my father.

My family and I are living through the hardest days of our lives, surrounded by the horrors of war and destruction. Fear consumes me constantly, and our lives are filled with tragedies. This war has destroyed everything we once had.

We are enduring extremely harsh conditions, we are hungry and unable to secure even the most basic necessities. Every day we face the painful reality of having no food, no clean water, and no safe shelter. The cost of feeding my family now exceeds $600 a week due to the severe shortage of supplies, and I am struggling desperately to provide for them.

I am a fisherman. I once loved the sea and the magical sunsets of Gaza but now, even those feelings have faded. My thoughts are overwhelmed with worry and despair, and my dreams have been crushed beneath the weight of this destruction.

And yet, despite everything, I still hold on to faith in humanity, and in the power of compassion.

I am in urgent need of help to rebuild my life and give my family a chance to survive and recover. With your support, we can restore hope and work together toward a better future for my family, and for my shattered community.

If you are able, please consider donating, any amount, no matter how small, makes a difference.

May God reward you for your kindness, and may your generosity return to you many times over. From my family to yours thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

With gratitude,

Khaled
