My name is Mandy from California, and I am raising funds for my friend Magda Elslepy and her family including her mother Hind and brother Majed. They are currently living in Khan Yunis, which has been destroyed by the occupation. Your kind donations will be used for purchasing food, securing shelter, and other necessary expenses for surviving and rebuilding their lives after the destruction of their home and city.

Here is Magda relating her story herself:

Hello, I am Magda, Majed's sister, from Gaza. I am 22 years old. Our house was destroyed in the war due to the bombing, as you can see in the picture. Now the war is almost over, but we have no shelter to go to except an old tent that protects us from the bitter cold and harsh winter. My brother Majed and I created this account so that we can collect even a small amount of money to rebuild our house or try to build a small house that protects us from the cold and winter. I hope that you will help me, even with a small amount, so that my family and I can live in a good shelter. Together we can achieve the goal as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for the donation.

I've set the initial goal at $8000 and will be increasing it as needed.

How I will be getting the money to Magda: I will be wiring the funds to Magda's mom Hind's bank of Palestine account.
