<div>*Help Save My Family from the Horrors of War in Gaza*
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Dear friends,



I am Ahmed Alqishawi. 
</div>
<div>I live in Belgium.
</div>
<div> I urgently need your help to save my family from the devastating effects of the ongoing war in Gaza.
</div>
<div> For 136 days, my loved ones, including my parents, 3 siblings, 3 in-laws, 8 nieces, and 3 nephews, have been trapped in Gaza, facing unimaginable challenges and dangers every day. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> My parents, who have supported me throughout my life, are elderly and can no longer endure the constant bombings and lack of safety. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My siblings, with their young children, are also struggling to survive in this war-torn region. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> The picture attached is for my mom and her grandchildren along with my big brother Bassam. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> My eldest brother, Bassam, is 43 years old and has two amazing and talented sons, Hatem and Mohammed, and two beautiful daughters, Nour and Rital, all under 14 years old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> My sister, Hiba, is 42 years old and has five children, all of whom I adore and all under 13 years old. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My brother Ghassan is married and has two lovely daughters, one 8 years old and the other 6 years old. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> These innocent children have experienced more horror in their young lives than anyone should ever have to endure. 
</div>
<div>They are traumatized, and if the war does not stop, *I fear I may lose them*. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*Your urgent support can literally save their lives.*
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> My family has been evacuating from one place to another, barely finding a place to sleep, lacking medicine for my elderly mother, and living in constant fear from strikes and bombings. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The situation is dire, and *they urgently need your support to leave Gaza and rebuild their future in safety. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*


We once shared a vibrant life together in a spacious building of 5 floors. 
</div>
<div>Tragically, it was reduced to rubble during the relentless latest attacks and siege of the Al-Shifa compound. 
</div>
<div>My father and three brothers not only lost their businesses and home but also their friends and every shred of security. Despite this devastation,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>** I am determined to keep alive their dream of a better life**. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My sister, Hiba, miraculously survived the attacks, but the horrors didn't spare her innocent family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> A tank shell mercilessly struck them while they sought refuge in our home, leaving her young son and husband gravely injured. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Therefore, I am raising funds to relocate my family from Gaza to Egypt, where they can start afresh in a safe environment. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The total amount needed is $75000, which includes the costs of securing an exit through the Rafah border, accommodation, visa and travel documents, and other necessary expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> I have saved some money, but the amount required is substantial, and it will take me years to accumulate it. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That's why I am reaching out to you, my friends, for your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Your donation, no matter how small, can make a huge difference in saving my family's lives. 
</div>
<div>I don’t want to lose any of them. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> *How Your Support Will Be Used* 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> 1- Each family member needs to pay $5,000 for adults and $2,500 for children under 16 to the Hala Company to secure an exit through the Rafah border. 
</div>
<div>This includes my parents, 3 siblings, their in-laws, 8 nieces, and 3 nephews. This is the only way to leave Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> 2- Any additional funds raised will be used for securing accommodation, visa and travel documents, and other necessary expenses while they apply for a visa for a third country from Egypt, when that becomes possible. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> 3- The GoFundMe page's transaction fee is 2.9% + $0.25 per donation, totaling around $3,000.
</div>
<div> The total amount needed to evacuate and support my entire family is a minimum of $75,000. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Please donate to my GoFundMe page to help my family escape the horrors of war and start afresh in a safe environment. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> *Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to my family in Gaza.*
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Thank you for your kindness and generosity. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> With gratitude, 
</div>
<div> Ahmed Alqishawi<br />
</div>
