Hello, my name is Rachel Peters. I am from the United States and I'm making this GoFundMe campaign to help my friends Mostafa Ahmed Hseen Alswarka, Samah Mohammed Slemen Brees, and most importantly their 3 young children Reem, Ahmed, & Shoog; get enough food and water to survive the ongoing war in Palestine.

The cost of this war on the innocent lives in Gaza is unfathomable. For those who are still surviving, the cost of living is astronomically high. If you are lucky enough to have access to foods like sugar, flour, eggs, or fresh fruit, the prices are upwards of 20 to 200 times more expensive than they were before the war. Please donate to help keep this family alive.

The following words are from Mostafa:

War is unfair. No one more than children are facing such an ugly facade of reality. Reem Mostafa Ahmed Alswarka came to life as a Down baby (Down syndrome) born with a heart deficient condition. She was undergoing a continuous, necessary healthcare routine during the past days before the collapse of the medical system. Oxygen supply for her condition is about to finish. Medicine which she needs is not found, food is not easy to get at all. No medical center in Gaza is over its fundaments. Reem and her siblings and the whole family are surviving fatal conditions that might lead to her passing away (God forbid). Helping Reem and her siblings is considered as a second life for her. Helping is a synonym of life to Reem.
