Hi all,

My name is Rylan Nfinitu Civimkam. I am fundraising for my friend Riyad, who is a teenager from Gaza. I would like to share with you his words.

"Peace be upon you, I am Riyad from Gaza, I am 15 years old ... I am the eldest of my siblings. We have been through very difficult circumstances in addition to the suffering of war and repeated displacements. I lost my father as a martyr and my mother was seriously injured. The doctors made a referral for treatment abroad and we are waiting. In addition to all this suffering, we live in a difficult reality. Everything is expensive. I cannot provide the simplest necessities for my family. I am at a young age and cannot bear all this suffering. Please help me."

Please consider donating to Riyad so he can start to rebuild his life.
