Help Sulaiman's family in Gaza

UPDATE: Since the border into Egypt is indefinitely closed, we are raising funds to support the Al Tawil family's daily survival in Gaza. Please give what you can and read below for more information about this beautiful family <3

Greetings, I'm Sulaiman Al Tawil, 41 years old, living with my partner Hala who is 33 and our son Essam, who is 13 and full of dreams. Our lives took a drastic turn on October 7, 2023. Before that, we had a happy life in our cozy house, both of us working in our respective fields – me as a freelancer in digital marketing and Hala as a professional graphic designer. Essam's passion for football and cars comes from his grandfather.

Yet since we were told to move to the south of Gaza, everything has changed. We lost our home to the war, along with our means of income. Essam, who should be starting seventh grade, hasn't been able to go to school since. He dreams of becoming an automotive engineer like his grandfather, but spends his days helping us survive and selling drinks made by his mother instead of being in a classroom with his friends.

Now, we urgently need assistance to leave this war-torn place. The conflict has left us without safety or resources, and we fear for our family's well-being. Your support could help us find refuge and rebuild our lives in a secure environment. Every donation brings us closer to a brighter future for Essam, free from the constant threat of violence. Your kindness during this critical time will mean the world to us.

Our little family 6 months after our lives were turned upside down

I am setting up this campaign with Ezra for us to raise enough funds to cover the entry fee into Egypt from Gaza, rent, education, and basic necessities for my family until they can get back on their feet.

Total budget: 30,000 USD

Fees to leave Gaza: 12,500 USD (2 adults for 5,000 USD, 1 child for 2,500 USD)

Apartment rent for a year: 6,000 USD

Living expenses till we find work: 6,000 USD

Yearly education cost for our son in Egypt: 4,000 USD

Clothes and some necessities: 1,500 USD

Thank you!
