HELP MY AUNT’S FAMILY ESCAPE THE ONGOING HORROR IN GAZA

Donation protected
Seven lives. One last chance to save them from war, hunger, and heartbreak.

I’m reaching out to you with a plea I never imagined I’d have to make. My aunt’s family — seven innocent souls — are trapped in Gaza, living in unimaginable fear and pain.

✅ Their home in Khan Younis was destroyed in an airstrike
✅ They fled with nothing but the clothes on their backs
✅ They are now crammed into one overcrowded room in Rafah, sharing space with strangers
✅ No clean clothes. No steady food. No safety. No escape

Their mother — my aunt — is currently in Egypt, heartbroken and powerless, watching her children and siblings suffer from across the border.

Her children — Mais (25), Abdullah (24), and Mohammad (17) — are doing their best to survive alongside their father, Moneeb, who also cares for his three elderly, unmarried sisters: Najwa, Mahasen, and Hafitha. These women are fragile and entirely dependent on him.

We are now trying to raise $75,000 to cover the full cost of getting them to safety and helping them start over once they cross the border.

✅ Evacuation Fees: Prices have risen drastically — currently $7,000 to $9,000 per person. For 7 family members, this alone could cost over $60,000
✅ Travel, Lodging & Emergency Expenses: Transport within Gaza, food, temporary shelter, and crossing fees require funds to be ready in hand
✅ Post-Evacuation Support: Once they are out, they will need help settling, including rent, documents, and basic necessities to survive in a new country
✅ Platform & Transfer Fees (GoFundMe + payment processing): We’ve included these to make sure no donation is lost in fees

I visited them just months ago. I held them, shared meals with them, laughed with them. Now, they are hiding, hungry, and hopeless. And I am begging — please, help me save them before it’s too late.

If you’re reading this, you can be part of their rescue. You can be the reason they survive.

✅ Please donate whatever you can
✅ Please share this story with others
✅ Help bring light to a family swallowed by war

Every dollar brings them closer to safety. Every share gives them a little more hope. May every act of kindness return to you tenfold.

Thank you, from the depths of my heart
