Help me to save my family from the war in Gaza

Donation protected
















Hi,
My name is Heba , a Canadian- Palestinian woman living in stouffville , Ontario Canada with my husband and family. I’m reaching out for support to help my family members get out of Gaza and arrive in Canada to escape from the death in Gaza . . I have a family of 17people (8 adults, 9 kids)
· My father and mother
· My two brothers with their wifes with three kids each
· And my sister, her husband and their three children


Here is the current situation of my family:

· My family lived through fear in the first week of the war and then were forced to flee our house heading south.
· My family got displaced to a place with no easy access to food, water and medical supplies.
· Our house and my sister's house received multiple shelling and we lost all our belongings there.all their homes had been transferred into rubbles
· Winter came with no one being prepared with jackets and heavy winter clothes as all were left at our house when they fled in the summer.
· Kids are suffering from multiple traumas from all the bombing and destruction.
· Kids already missed three months of schooling.

Following numerous appeals from Canadians with relatives in the war-torn region, Immigration Canadian Minister Marc Miller has revealed a new temporary visa program specifically designed for individuals in the Gaza Strip with Canadian family ties. Miller characterized the situation in Gaza as "unlivable," and the temporary visa program is anticipated to be operational by January 9, 2024. Miller acknowledged the considerable challenges associated with leaving the besieged Palestinian territory, emphasizing that Canada lacks assurances from Israel, Hamas, or Egypt regarding the departure of extended family members on Canada's list.

It is essential to note that the Canadian Government is not providing financial assistance for evacuees or their families upon arrival in Canada. Consequently, my family will be responsible for covering all travel expenses and settlement costs independently. The breakdown of travel expenses includes the application fee for 17 people, flight tickets for 17 people from Cairo to Canada.

Additionally, settlement expenses for the initial two months until employment is secured encompass:

· rent

· winter gear to adapt to the weather.

· health coverage

· and living costs.

The financial burden on my family is substantial, and we are seeking assistance to overcome these challenges and ensure a safe and stable future in Canada.
I have to mention in case I was not able to bring them here to canada then all the money will be toward the rebuilding of their homes which was affected severely and make it livable and to cover their expenses in Gaza till situation gets better

Your generosity will make a significant impact on our journey to safety and resettlement, and we appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference to my family's safety. The funds raised will be used transparently and efficiently to ensure that every dollar is spent on ensuring their safety.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your support and understanding during this trying period. Your contribution holds the promise of a fresh start for my family, signifying not just a new life but also an embodiment of compassion, solidarity, and a commitment to justice in preserving human lives.

Please share this campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues so that we can reach our goal and provide safety for my family .


Thank you for your support in this critical time of need.

With gratitude
Heba
