Gaza Won’t Let Go: Stand with our family stand strong

Donation protected
We’re the Tibis from northern Gaza and my name is Ahmad Tibi from Gaza strip and here speaking on behalf of my family. After surviving Rafah’s chaos—sleeping in tents, rationing baby formula for Ahmad, dodging death daily—we’re going back. Home. Even though home is now ash and rubble. Even though our 1-year-old son, Ahmad, shakes with seizures no doctor here can treat. We’re going back because this land is our bones.
Ahmad needs medicine. The kids need shoes that aren’t shredded. The women in my family haven’t eaten a full meal in weeks—they give their bread to the children and call it “faith.”

This isn’t a fundraiser. It’s a rope. Throw us a rope. Not out of pity, but solidarity. Because when you help us replant a single tree, you’re telling the world: Gaza will outlive this. When you help Ahmad breathe easier, you’re saying: This child deserves more than survival. We’re not heroes. We’re just people who refuse to let war erase us.

We don’t want to leave Gaza. We want to reclaim it.

Where Every Dollar Goes:
This isn’t a spreadsheet. It’s a map of our family’s journey home—and how your support becomes part of it.

1. “We’re Going Back to What’s Left” ($3,500)
The cost to return north isn’t just about gas or trucks. It’s renting a pickup to haul scraps of metal for a makeshift shelter. It’s buying a tarp to cover the holes in our bombed-out house so Ahmad doesn’t shiver in the rain. We’re not rebuilding a paradise—just a corner of our land where we can bury our fear and plant seeds again.

**2. “Ahmad’s” ($3,000)
Breathing Equipment: A machine to help his lungs work when they’re too tired.
Oxygen Tanks: Each one costs triple what it should because of shortages.
Medicine: Pills to calm his shaking limbs, sold at triple the price in Rafah’s black markets.
A Chance: If we stabilize him now, maybe one day he’ll laugh under northern Gaza’s sky.
