This fundraiser is to help rebuild a photography studio that was destroyed this past week in Gaza. Due to the difficult economic and living conditions, a group of individuals entered into a partnership to secure money necessary to establish their dream project, a photography studio. The idea of this project was based on establishing, organizing and arranging a beautiful place with a picturesque view to photograph happy occasions. Working with a contracting company, the project began in November 2020 to build this space from an empty piece of land. The project was completed in May 2021, with the hopes of having a grand opening on Eid. In the blink of an eye, the place was targeted by multiple missiles from an Israeli military plane and sustained massive damage to its structure and furniture. Below the text, you will find photos and videos of the destruction.
I reached out to the group members, one of which is my first cousin, who gave me the permission to create this GoFundMe. All proceeds will go to rebuilding the photography studio. This is their dream, their job, their livelihood. We ask that you please donate any amount that you possibly can and that you share this link where you can. I am committed to maintaining full transparency, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you!
JazakAllahu Khayran!
