Help Salim and his family in Palestine

“Hello,

My name is Salim Qudeih, I’m a 21-year-old university student from Gaza. I had dreams, goals, and a future I was working hard to build. But everything changed in an instant when the war began.

Our home was destroyed in the bombing. We lost not only the roof over our heads, but also our memories, our sense of safety, and the lives we once knew. My family and I were forcibly displaced and are now living in a tent, exposed to the harsh weather and surrounded by destruction.

We have no access to clean water, electricity, proper food, or basic hygiene. My mother is sick and needs medical attention, and my younger siblings are struggling to understand why their lives have turned into a nightmare. Each day is a battle for survival — just finding something to eat is a challenge.

The psychological and emotional toll is beyond words. The sound of drones, explosions, and the constant fear have become part of our daily reality. There is no safe place here. No relief. No rest.

I’m reaching out to the world because I have no other choice. I created this GoFundMe page to ask for your help — not for luxuries, but for survival. Your donation, no matter how small, can help us buy food, clean water, warm clothes, medicine for my mom, and basic essentials to stay alive in these incredibly difficult times.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page. Every bit of support, even spreading the word, can make a real difference.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading my story. Thank you for your compassion, your kindness, and for not forgetting the people of Palestine.” —Salim Qudeih.

Hi! My name is Brigitte Fattah and I live in Spain. I’m organizing this fundraiser to help Salim and his family survive in Palestine.

Since GoFundMe only operates in certain countries, Salim cannot create a campaign himself from Palestine. That’s why I’m organizing it on his behalf from Spain. Every donation will go directly to Salim and his family — 100% of the funds raised will be sent to him via PayPal.

Your support means the world. Thank you for helping Salim and his loved ones through this incredibly difficult time.
