Help Mai and her family

My name is Mera Yassin, and I am trying to help fix what we know happened to Mai by starting a new fundraiser for her, with her consent. Let’s show her all the love she needs to see!

Mai’s story in her own words:

"I am Mai Rajab from Gaza . We were living a quiet and stable life until the war came and the Israeli occupation displaced us from our homes in Gaza City ( Alwehda street) on October 13, 2023. We went to Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip and took only the necessary papers.

We were sleeping in the street without shelter, and we could not find a single blanket to keep us warm. We could not find any bread to satisfy our hunger. After that, we received help from some people, and we took refuge in my aunt’s house. After that, the place was bombed, and we took refuge in Rafah with the same story. We did not find shelter and we were cold, since we could not take winter clothes to help keep us warm. We are now in a small room with strangers who could not bear to see us like this in the street: crying and dying of cold.

I lost many members of my family and friends. I lost part of my house, and my father's workplace was also destroyed. I have many dreams, I need to be safe!

During the war in 2021, I was pulled from under the rubble! Can you imagine!

Finally, I’m a human and not a number. Wish me a good life.

Thank you.“

My name is Mera Yassin. I hail from Safed, Palestine. My family and I have traversed countries to settle in the United States. The recent events involving Mai and her family deeply affected me. Despite my efforts to contact Gaia Thomas, I was unsuccessful. I am committed to preventing such incidents from occurring again. I will ensure that the donations reach Mai and her family promptly, aiding their departure from Gaza. Your support and trust are greatly appreciated.

Together, let's realize Mai's dream once more!
