Help my family in Gaza

Donation protected
My name is Marriam Nofal, I am an American Palestinian. My father is from Gaza, and his whole family is stuck in Gaza right now. In total there are about 80 members of my family that live there. 

I was fortunate enough to spend my summers throughout my childhood in Gaza, being able to laugh and have fun with my family was the highlight of every year. Seeing Gaza go from a bustling, vibrant, and beautiful city to complete destruction has been so devastating. Every single person in Gaza has been affected by this horrible genocide, including my family. Everyone in my family has been displaced, and all of their houses have either been destroyed or burned. Seeing the pictures of my grandparents house completely demolished and all the memories gone has been so heartbreaking, but seeing my family in this situation has been even more heartbreaking.This was has split my family up and everyone is in different areas, when before the war they were all together and would see each other everyday. Most of them tents or seeking refuge in other peoples houses.

 I hate that we now have to ask for help, but in this situation my family’s needs trumps any humiliating feelings I may have. I will try my best to do what I can. All I’m asking for is anything a person can spare because a small amount can go a long way. Right now the most important thing is to help them with food and shelter, as everything is very inflated at the moment and prices of food and everything is outrageous, any meal feeding 4 people costs around $50. I am asking for this much because my family is quite large and they left their houses with nothing but the clothes on their backs. And after this war they will definitely need help rebuilding their houses and that is the goal for the future. As much as I would love to get all of my family out of Gaza, it costs a lot to travel out of Gaza at the moment costing around $5,000-10,000 per person. Anything you can give would help and would be greatly appreciated! Please help me help my family
