<div><strong>Update from Reem:</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Dear All,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for every donation, every share, and every kind word. Your support has kept me and my family alive during some of the most terrifying days of our lives, and it has given me hope to keep going.

Right now, we are still trapped in Gaza — under constant bombing, extreme famine, and total collapse of every basic life necessity: food, water, medicine, safety… everything is gone. Every day is about survival.

But even if there is a ceasefire or temporary pause in bombings, the truth remains: my family and I have lost everything. We have no home, no stability. No matter what, we are forced to start from zero again and again. This is why your continuous support is so important.

This fundraiser is about survival — helping my family get through each day — but it’s also about giving me the chance to continue my journey, to raise my voice, and to advocate. Your support will empower me to rebuild my life, to care for my family, and to carry our story forward to the world.
Our dream is still to get out of Gaza, to rebuild a safe life for myself and my family in a peaceful place. Until that happens, we need your help to survive, to recover, and to have a chance at standing on our feet again after losing everything.

I am here with my parents, and my siblings, all of us trying to survive together in the harshest conditions imaginable. Your support means the world to us, and we hope you can keep standing by our side.
Every contribution brings us closer to safety, recovery, and to keep our hope alive for a safer future.<br /></strong>

<div><b>I would like to clarify that since we are still trapped in Gaza, your donations have reached me here to support our survival here and hopefully after we leave.</b>

<div><strong>Dear Friends and Supporters,</strong><br />
</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My name is Marwa Abdelfattah, an Egyptian citizen residing in Washington, DC. The immense suffering in Gaza has been a profound heartbreak, one that has deeply moved me to find meaningful ways to help. Today, I’m reaching out to you to support a cause that is close to my heart—raising funds for Rim Mohammad Abdel Karim Zediyeh, whose story I discovered through her Instagram account, @reemzidiah. The funds we raise will be sent to Egypt via Western Union to support Reem's family as they embark on their post-evacuation journey. Once Reem reaches Egypt, she will receive these funds directly.

<div><strong>A Glimpse into Reem’s Story: </strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Rim Zediyeh is a courageous young activist from Gaza, whose life and family have been shattered by the ongoing conflict. They have lost everything. Amidst the devastation, Rim and her family of eight find themselves in a constant state of displacement, struggling to access the most basic necessities—sanitation, food, water, and medicine.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Despite these unimaginable challenges, Rim remains steadfast in her efforts to secure the funds necessary for her family’s evacuation. Yet, the road to safety in Egypt, once the borders reopen, is fraught with difficulty. And even after reaching Egypt, Rim and her family will face the overwhelming task of rebuilding their lives from the ground up. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your generous contribution will provide Rim and her family with the support they desperately need for a dignified and secure start in Egypt during their first six months after evacuation. The funds will be used to meet their essential needs, such as securing safe housing, food, clothing, medical care, utility services, and educational opportunities for Rim, her five siblings—including a baby less than a year old—and her parents. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With your help, we can offer Rim and her family a chance to recover from the trauma they have endured and to rebuild their lives with the dignity they deserve.

</div>
