<div>Merciful People,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Ahmed Daghma. My family and I are humbly asking for your help. We live in Gaza. Our home in Khan Yunis was destroyed, we have lost everything and have been displaced four times. My family of 13, including 6 children, are currently living in a tent in Rafah, in the south of Gaza. We have no electricity, heat, or sanitation. My wife is suffering from a chronic chest condition and her health is declining. She was diagnosed with tumors. The doctors told her she urgently needs surgery to remove them, but she needs to see a specialist (oncologist) as soon as possible. That treatment is not available here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My sister and my four nieces and nephews have been killed, along with many friends. We have witnessed the deaths of so many of those close to us. For now, we have been spared, but we live every moment of our lives not knowing if it will be our last.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are praying for the chance to evacuate to Egypt. Currently, the Rafah cross-border permit is, on average, $7000 for adults and $3500 for children. The kindness and generosity of others is my only hope of getting my family to safety.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A trusted family friend in Florida, Kathy Sarikaya, will send all funds to my sister, Kholoud Al Daghma, who lives in Cairo, Egypt. My sister will register us with the Hala Company and pay for the border crossing permits.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your compassion and generosity. No amount is too small. I am eternally grateful for any help.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>December 14, 2024 Update: Since the Rafah border was closed, donations are being sent directly to the Al Daghma family in Gaza.
</div>
<div>The family welcomed a beautiful and healthy baby girl into their family last month.
