Donation protected
Hi, This is Halla Abdelhalim the organizer of this fundraiser. I live in the States in NY and this fundraiser is for my Palestinian friend Sarah Aljamal and her family who are currently in Rafah. They lost everything and we are trying to raise money for them to evacuate from Gaza to Egypt. Please donate and share this campaign as it's their only hope. Thank you!

Sarah's Story:
I'm Sarah and the war is my story
I'm 23 years old, I have congenital defects in my bones and joints, I had open heart surgery before the war, I was suffering a lot because my movement is limited, but after the war life became very difficult and I couldn't bear it. Everything is difficult to move and sleep. My dream before the war was to go for treatment and see Dr. Hani Abdel Gawad. My father used to pay for my treatment, but everything was destroyed because of the war, my dream was destroyed because of the war, everything that would have made me better was destroyed, please help me.

My childhood was difficult because I underwent more than 10 orthopedic surgeries and open heart surgery. My pain during the war increases. I cannot live my normal life. Please help me


When the war started on October 8, the occupation contacted us and the residents of our neighborhood. We who live in the al-Maqusi neighborhood were asked to evacuate immediately, so we fled without thinking. Minutes later, a genocide took place in our neighborhood. We miraculously survived, but our neighborhood was destroyed, and we no longer have a house, it was partially destroyed, and these are pictures of the neighborhood I grew up in, it's a pile of stones.


The current situation is very difficult, I was displaced with my family three times, once to my uncle, once to my brother's friend, and the last time to Rafah City in a 4×4 room for rent, 8 people sleep in that room, when I sleep I think about whether we will wake up, die, or become pieces and no one will know us. I'm very scared and I don't want to lose any of my family members.

Despite all this, I'm trying to save my parents from the war in Gaza, that's why I'm currently running a fundraising campaign to raise money to help them get out of Gaza as soon as possible, I'm trying to save my mom and dad, my older brother and younger sister, my older brother had a newborn baby named Rami and now he is struggling to find milk for him due to the lack of materials in Rafah City, it's up to me to do everything I can to get them out of there and try to move them to the nearest safe haven and this will only happen with your help. I want to leave Gaza City and go to Egypt, knowing that the cost of going to Egypt per person ranges from 5,000 to 7,000 dollars, and my family consists of a large number of 8 people


We are 8 members every person of us had his life and dreams, each of us dreamed of being safe and stable. Now we don't feel safe and we don't find it anywhere in the Gaza Strip. My father and mother dreamed of seeing us successful, living happily and safely and fulfilling all our dreams
My older brother got married and has a son whom he wants to protect even with his soul.
My middle brother recently graduated in September, days before the war, he dreamed and longed to find a job.
My little sister, in her first year at university, she only went to university for two weeks and her dreams of becoming an accountant were completely destroyed.
As for me, I had already started my journey of finding myself, so I started a new job and started developing myself in the field of voiceover (cartoon dubbing) specifically.
All our dreams are on hold, we don't know whether we will be able to complete them or we will continue to suffer from the horrors of war here.
We were exhausted waiting for the war to end, our house was completely destroyed and burned down.
We lost all our belongings and personal papers, even our clothes, there was nothing left of the house except rubble.


We want your help to get out of Gaza please
We can no longer provide medicine for my mom and dad because they suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes and dad is a heart patient and I, too, my small body can no longer tolerate extreme cold and no longer sleep on the floor due to my condition
All we dream of is living safely. I hope you can help me and donate even a small amount because it will make a difference. Only your help will protect me and my family. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for donating and reading my story. I hope to live a beautiful and normal life like everyone else. Thank you.
