We are reaching out to you for your support in helping our young friend Shaymaa Abudalu who is trying to desperately trying to survive. Will you help?

Shaymaa and her father are trying to navigate dislocation, attacks and hunger, after her mother, brother, twin sisters, aunts, uncles, and grandparents have all been killed.

They need support now to pay for a roof over their heads which costs around $3,000 per month! Not to mention the outrageous prices of flour and any other food they can find.

Here are her lost loved ones:

We are “Team Shaymaa” - Jodi, Don, Shelly, Claire, Seja and other individuals in Austin, TX USA. We met Shaymaa when she traveled to Austin in 2023 as part of a technology exchange program. We are thankful for the help from a reputable organization working in-country, Rebuilding Alliance. Through the internet we all stay connected and continue to work to help her.

With this GoFundMe campaign we propose that your donations will help pay for a place to sleep and food.

Shaymaa is a beautiful, intelligent, and caring young woman who we adore and want to get her out of harm's way and give her the chance at a future with all her dreams fulfilled.

Will you help us? Please donate what you can.

Thank you!!
