Help Alaa and Ola's Family escape and survive Gaza

Donation protected
My name is Erin, I live in Canada and these are my friends in Gaza.

It's through a dear friend, who is also a Rabbi for ceasefire, that I have have had the privilege to know and have grown to love this beautiful family of caring compassionate people, who have been completely stripped of the life they once had and under occupation and bombardment have been forced to leave everything behind in the rubble.

Alaa a mother of two who just had a baby two months ago in Gaza, Ola who has a 1.5 year old and is currently 7 months pregnant and Hanaan, Alaa's younger sister who graduated with a 93% average and was studying information and technology when they were forcefully displaced amidst tanks and bombs.

After being displaced twice before and realizing there was no safe place left for them in Gaza they left to Rafah the southernmost part of Gaza where they built that structure. And then realizing even Rafah was not safe they fled for a fourth time and had to split up. One portion of the family even returning to their bombed house just so they could sleep in what was left of their own bed.

They hope to obtain passports to leave the homeland their families have lived on for generations.

The economy in Gaza is deeply fragile, and supplies are scarce, which has resulted high inflation for basic necessities.

Seeing how there doesn't look like they'll be a ceasefire anytime soon and with almost impossible options to leave Gaza as more and more Palestians become displaced those prices will continue to rise.


We are in search of continued support for this family that I am in contact with daily. They send me daily updates and I see it reflected in the news the next day in Canada. I have screen timed with them and their beautiful babies. Please help me get them out of Gaza where bombs tanks, artilery and starvation is killing a population of majority women and children.

They should not have to leave Palestine, their homeland for generations, but they feel there is nothing left for them, they tell me all that they have worked hard for has been destroyed all their hopes and dreams all their hard work to build a home and a family instantly torn away from them.

Their stories daily are horrifying and they deserve to have even their basic human rights met.

Needs: medication, formula, nutritional supplements, pregnancy vitamins, diapers, blankets, food, water passports and possible visas.

Thank you for reading please share far and wide.

Donations sent through Paypal @erinaberlepalm will go to the family.
