Help the Gaza Relief team give medical care to the displaced

My name is Karrigan Atkins, and I am from Petoskey, Michigan, United States and I am fundraising on behalf of my dear friend Ahmed Tamous, a 23 year old nurse in Gaza. He is one of the hardest working, most resilient people I know. I will be wiring the funds raised to him directly. Ahmed has asked me to share this message:

We are the Gaza Emergency Medical Team — a group of volunteer doctors and nurses brought together by humanity and a deep love for our homeland. We do not belong to any official organization. Our team was formed purely through individual efforts, united by one mission: to save lives where no one else can.

Amid the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and with hospitals far from displacement camps, we chose to stand on the front lines. We walk through tents and rubble with a first-aid kit in one hand, and our hearts in the other.

Who We Are:

• Ahmed Tamous – Licensed nurse, team coordinator, graduate of Al-Azhar University, experienced in field medical care.

• Fares Al-Jamal – Licensed nurse and surgical technician, experienced in emergency operations.

• Mohammed Rashid – Licensed physical therapist, graduate of Al-Azhar University, with field experience treating war-related injuries.

• Rozana Mousa – Licensed physician, authorized by the Ministry of Health to evaluate and treat emergency cases.

Why We Need You:

We live this tragedy every day — hearing mothers weep, children cry, and seeing wounds go untreated due to a critical lack of:

• Essential medications and pain relievers

• Bandages and basic medical supplies

• Fuel to reach the camps and wounded

Sometimes, we’re forced to turn back mid-mission due to running out of resources. Despite that, we press on. But we cannot continue without your support.

Our Goal:

To provide emergency medical care to the injured and displaced in camps far from hospitals by:

• Treating wounds and providing vital signs monitoring

• Offering pain relief and emergency medication

• Giving psychological support to children and families

Why Your Donation Matters:

Your donation = a life saved

• Medicine for a child in pain

• Emergency care for a wounded person who may not survive the wait

• Comfort for a mother whose child has no one else

Every dollar makes a difference. We are fully licensed by the Ministry of Health and operate with complete professionalism and transparency. From the first donation, we will document every effort — every wound treated, every life reached — with full accountability.

Don’t Let Gaza Bleed Alone
