My name is Mohamed Azab. I am based in Southeast Washington DC, a devoted husband, and father of a 22-month-old toddler. I have been trying to balance family, community, and work responsibilities with the exigent and unquestionable humanitarian disaster unfolding in Gaza for the last 9 months and more broadly the last two decades. I call on everyone who can spare some cash to help this young man, Saeed Abu-Mansour, his mother, and the two orphan daughters of his brother.

With people power and the help of friends and community, we were able to raise $25,000 dollars to help evacuate a family of 6 from Rafah, Gaza to Cairo, Egypt in a separate campaign.

Here are some words from Saeed:

I am Saeed Abu Mansour from Palestine, Gaza. I need food, drink, security, and safety. My father was martyred and my brother was martyred. My mother and I are alone in the northern Gaza Strip with no one to help us. I want to get food and drink and I need help for the daughters of my brother, Randa and Salma. These two girls are orphans. My brother was martyred in the war. On Palestine and Gaza, I ask for your help, thank you.

Also, I have Egyptian heritage and was able to visit and meet the beneficiaries of my first campaign. And I have verified that Saeed is in fact a real person and is in need of aid for himself, his mom, and his two orphaned nieces. I have sent him money through PayPal, and I am working on a way to send the money raised to his bank account. Do not hesitate to ask any questions.
