Welcome, kind soul. Thank you for being here.
I’m Melissa, and I’ve organized this fundraiser for my friend Sabreen and her family in Gaza. All funds collected will be sent to her securely via bank transfer and receipts are available.
Sabreen, her husband Osama, and their five children, Mira, 18, Muhammad, 17, Tala, 14, Youssef, 12, and Hamad, 6, have been displaced multiple times. They’re originally from Beit Hanoun in the north, but are now in Deir al-Balah, crowded seven to a small tent.
They desperately need money for food and medical treatment. All of the children have rashes with infection. Hamad has unexplained frequent nose bleeds. Sabreen has hepatitis and a broken finger and toe. Osama has high blood pressure made worse by the conditions and lack of medication. Everyone is malnourished. Hunger is constant.
The bombing and shooting never stop. The daughter of one of their neighbors was shot in the neck inside their tent. Terror is another constant.
Our initial goal is only $3000, and will be used for food, water, medication, and a new, portable tent. Once their current situation is more stable we’ll raise money for evacuation.
Sabreen’s story:
I am the engineer Sabreen. I am 35 years old. I married Osama and we lived beautiful days and gave birth to three boys and two girls. Praise be to God. We lived wonderful days in our wonderful home because the life of the 2014 war came and destroyed my home in which I got married and my beautiful memories. My husband and I built a new house that we built with love and I completed my studies. I am a diligent engineer and excelled in my work then thunderous war of 2023 came and destroyed my dreams. It destroyed my future and the future of my children. My dream is an engineering office and the beginning of my project. Unfortunately, it is all gone. My children are displaced and we are displaced. We lived in tents. We lived in severe cold and heat, lack of water and food, and lack of safety. In my country, we lived difficult days in all senses. I hope that we can leave this place and I and my children will get out safely.
Before the war Sabreen created a beautiful home for her family:
Sabreen’s graduation project:
And now, seven people forced into a small, stifling tent, rife with insects— no electricity, no water, nothing compatible with life.
Hamad needs shoes, which cost $50.
As a parent I can feel Sabreen’s desperation as she tries to protect her children. I am hopeful with your help we can raise money quickly for food and other necessities.
