My name is Sarah Harkness and I am a teacher in Boston. I am raising funds for Lojain Raeda and her family who live in Gaza. Lojain is only 14 years old and doing everything she can to help support her mother, father, sister (17), and brother (12). Lojain and I met on Instagram and she has sent me many pictures and videos or her life in Gaza. We speak multiple times a week and I have been trying to raise money for her family with little succcess. Any funds I receive for Lojain will be forwarded to her via PayPal.

From Lojain and her family:

"Our family's situation is very difficult. We are a simple family, displaced for years. Our lives are unstable, sometimes in homes that are threatened and sometimes we don't find shelter. Our children are growing up in these difficult circumstances, without safety or stability. Every day we go through more difficult circumstances than the day before."

The cost of food, medical supplies, shelter supplies, and clothing have skyrocketed in Gaza. Any amount of support means the Raeda family can eat when they often go hungry. Please send funds or share to help Lojain and her family survive!
