Help Mohammed survive Cancer!

Donation protected
Mohammed is sick. Very sick.

He has been battling thyroid cancer for several years now, as you can see in the provided medical document. Originally from a small farming town in the eastern Khan Youis region, he's now displaced in a tent with his family.

He, more than most, NEEDS healthy food. If he cannot access vegetables (as opposed to the bare minimum - rice or lentils - then the cancer will ravage his body that much faster.

The time to act is NOW. You (yes, you, reading this) have agency and power - do NOT sink into helplessness and despair! Together we can collectively help prolong Mohammed's life. His family needs him.

Donating ANY AMOUNT is helpful. It all adds up. The vast majority of donations for grassroots movements / mutual aid are $20 or less. Please do not fall victim to the bystander effect by assuming others will donate.

He is depending on us for his and his family's survival--food, shelter, water, medicine, and supplies. Do not underestimate the impact your donation can have for them--it may be the difference between securing a bag of flour, or not...affording nylon tarps to keep the rain out of their tent, or not...

They were displaced countless times. Exhausting is not a strong enough word to describe displacement. Scrambling to pack their remaining belongings into a vehicle (if they have the money) or carrying what little they can on their backs, they usually flee under immediate threat of bombardment or gunfire.

And now that it is approaching summer, there are sweltering temperatures, swarms of insects, and rampant infections. There is no sewage system. Unfortunately, they don't have sufficient clothes either. This puts them at a huge risk of illness, which can be expensive--or even deadly--down the line. Mohammed must NOT get another illness on top of his cancer. His body cannot handle it.

They struggle to remain stable--I won't even use the word "healthy" because this is impossible. Whether it's respiratory problems from cooking over an open flame each day, the lack of sleep due to heat and fear, the starvation, or the lack of sanitation that causes diseases -- they are fighting for their lives every moment. The ONLY thing that can improve our conditions right now is funding.

They need us to show up for them, to stand with us now--in their darkest moment.

With your generous donation, they will get:

  • food (vegetables, canned goods, flour, oil, etc)
  • tent supplies (nylon tarps, blankets, cookware, etc)
  • medicines (for symptom relief)
  • general supplies (hygiene products, clothes, shoes, etc)
  • internet access (connection and charging payment)
  • transportation (for life-or-death emergencies, that they unfortunately may encounter more of)
  • cover the fees (for this platform and others) and commissions (up to 30% if using PayPal)

The prices of vegetables and flour, especially, are astronomical. Yet this is exactly what they need the most.

How will your generous donations reach Mohammed and family?
The donations are deposited into my US-based bank account. I then transfers to Mohammed via either PayPal or IBAN (whichever is most convenient at the time). If anyone would like to donate more quickly/directly and avoid the fees from this platform, please reach out to Mohammed on instagram (link below) and I will provide you with a faster method. This will directly benefit Mohammed and his family.

We hope you will understand that no words can truly capture the amount of suffering they feel. Each day is a struggle beyond imagination. They don't know what the future holds, but they take it one day at time, and they can only get by with help from kind people like you who feel for them.

Please follow along on Instagram and Tiktok, where he posts updates. If you share my updates and link with on your pages, it increases our chances for survival.



Thank you for taking the time to read my Mohammed's story. God bless you.
