<div>Hello, my name is Olga. I am of Italian nationality based in the Netherlands and through this campaign I want to help my friend and former colleague, Mahmoud Abu Khudair, to evacuate along with his family, his wife Intisar and four children, two boys and two girls, Rema 8 yo, Nasser 7 yo, Hazem 5 yo, Rawan 3 yo.
</div>
<div>As a mother and human being, I could not avoid in helping people that when I met, shared their generousity and kindness with me, who now are risking their lives on a daily basis.
</div>
<div>I met Mahmoud in 2015 in Gaza, while working for the same NGO. For years, he has dedicated himself to help sick and vulnerable children through the humanitarian aid. As we should know, currently Gaza offers little to no safety for hundreds of thousands of people and Mahmoud and his family are at risk to lose their lives, like it happened to Mahmoud's brother and his little nephew. Mahmoud and his family's journey has been marked by resilience in the face of adversity. Forced from their home by relentless bombings, they now seek refuge in a modest tent in Der Al Balah-Central Gaza, their happy corner amidst the chaos. Their desire to leave stems from the destruction of their house, once a lively home reduced to rubble, leaving them without life's essentials - furniture, clothing, books, and toys for the children and from the desire to let their children live and grow in peace, like all the children deserve. Your generosity could be a lifeline, aiding them to find a safe place outside Gaza, where life has become impossible. Your donation will help Mahmoud in rebuilding a new life, securing education for his children, and overcoming the challenges ahead. Together, your support provides them with a ray of hope for a better future, hope for life.
</div>
<div>Below a rough breakdown of the expenses this fundraising will cover:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Euro 24.400 (6.200x2 adults; 3.000x4children) for the evacuation from Gaza to Egypt (yes, you cannot evacuate without paying an exorbitant fee to an Egyptian agency)
</li>
<li>Euro 708 for GoFundMe fee (2.9%)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once collected, I will wire the amount to Mahmoud bank account.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On my side, this is what I can do, raising fund and my voice to help civilians escaping from this carnage. I do not want to be helpless and contributing to saving lives, it is the minimum I can do. 
</div>
<div>Thanks for your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>PS: after donating, please tell yourself 'I saved the World today'.
</div>
<div>PPS: Thanks. Grazie. Shukran.
