Hey everyone, my name is Nala and I'm from New York. I've created this campaign on behalf of my friend Ibrahem Al-Kuwaifi who is a 26 year old father and football goalkeeper, and is currently situated in the North of Gaza with his wife, son and their large family.

Ibrahem is pictured above (left) with his precious baby boy, Ismail (right).

A message from Ibrahim:

"I do not know where to begin, as words fail to describe the agony we live every day. My name is Ibrahim, I am 26 years old, and until recently, I was a young man with simple dreams. Today, I find myself standing helpless before the cries of my infant son and the hunger of my family.

Pictured above are Ibrahim and his son, Ismail.

My Family and Our Struggle

I am not just responsible for myself; I am the sole provider for a large family. I support my wife, my baby boy Ismail, my elderly mother and father, and my sisters. I lost my only source of income due to the devastating war in Gaza. We are now facing an unknown future with no stability and no income to provide even the most basic necessities.

Education Amidst the Ruins

Despite the darkness surrounding us, I refuse to let go of hope. I am currently a Physical Education student struggling to earn my degree. I hold onto my studies as a lifeline, hoping it will lead to a job and a life of dignity in the future. But it is heartbreakingly difficult to focus on my books while my son, Ismail, looks at me with hungry eyes, waiting for a drop of milk or a piece of bread.

Why We Urgently Need Your Help

Life in Gaza has become an unbearable battle for survival:

Baby Ismail desperately needs milk and diapers. These basic supplies are incredibly scarce and their prices have skyrocketed beyond reach. The cost of food is astronomical. Providing even one meal a day for my entire family has become a daily miracle. After losing everything, we lack the simplest requirements for a dignified life.

The smallest donation, no matter how minor it may seem to you, means a day of food for us, or a tin of milk that saves my son from hunger.

I appeal to your compassionate hearts...

Please stand by me so I can protect my family and finish my education to build a future for them away from the humiliation of poverty. Your contribution is more than just money; it is a lifeline that restores our hope amidst the rubble.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, sharing, and donating.”

The situation in the North of Gaza is dire. My friends are facing unending famine and constant danger as bombardment has not ended. Ibrahem and his family lost their home and everything that they once knew. Please help Ibrahem sustain himself and his dear family. One hundred percent of the funds raised will be going towards all household expenses in order to keep Ibrahem and his family alive and well. All household expenses are extremely high in Gaza at this time. Anything that you can give right now is very helpful as these are lifesaving funds for a precious family just trying to survive.

All funds will be transferred via Bank of Palestine directly to Ibrahem.
