Hello, my name is Lizzie, I live in France, and I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Umm Alaa, as GoFundMe does not work in Palestine or Egypt. She reached out to me on social media, and after some verification, I decided, with her approval, to create this campaign to help her and her family in this terrible situation.

Here's her message :

Hello, I am Umm Alaa , I am married, have a family of two young children, and I am pregnant. The delivery date is approaching and I need an operation.

Because of what’s happening in Gaza, my family and I lost our home, and we are currently homeless. The war has left us with little to no food, the prices of the market are too high and me and my children are in constant struggle here.

I am pleading you to help me so that I can have that surgery. We need to raise money for the surgery.

Please give what you can, even if it’s only $1 dollar. And if you can’t donate, please at least share my campaign with your close ones and on social media, so that my fundraiser can reach more donors.
