<div>Hi,
</div>
<div>I’m Maaria from Manchester,UK. For nearly 5 months I’ve been raising funds locally to support the families of the children pictured above. With the situation in Gaza ongoing and getting worse,the funds are just not enough. I’m now asking for help from you so these families can buy basic essentials necessary for survival- food,clean water,hygiene products,formula milk and nappies- and to help them raise some funds to pay for exit fees to Egypt,should they wish.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Abdal Karim and Lana</strong> have a two month old baby girl called Selen.
</div>
<div><strong>Ahmed and Niveen</strong> have a 6 year old daughter, Naya, who suffers with Spina Bifida.
</div>
<div><strong>Muhammad Al Masri,</strong> who is displaced with 30 family members including many children, suffers from Scoliosis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please support them by donating and sharing with all of your contacts. Sharing can really boost donations. Funds raised will be split between the families and sent to them personally via Western Union, a process that myself and the families have used many times before. </strong>
</div>
<div><strong> </strong>
</div>
<div>The families’ stories are below, in their own words- please take the time to read them.
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your support
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Abdal Karim</strong>
</div>
<div>My name is Abdalkarim. I grew up in Palestine, where education was always valued as a pathway to a better life. Fueled by this belief, I pursued my passion for computer science and engineering, graduating from university in 2018. The prospect of furthering my studies with a master's degree in India was a dream come true, a testament to years of hard work and dedication.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, dreams can quickly turn into nightmares. Shortly after embarking on this exciting journey, my family's home was destroyed by Israeli bombs. At that moment, my priorities shifted. As their son, I couldn't bear to leave my family behind in the midst of such devastation. So, I made the difficult decision to return to Palestine, leaving behind my academic pursuits.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Back home, I faced the harsh reality of being overqualified for the available job opportunities. Despite my qualifications, I had to start from scratch, taking on menial jobs to support my family. Yet, amidst the struggle, a ray of hope emerged as I met my wife Lana. Our happiness knew no bounds when Lana became pregnant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But joy turned to despair as war engulfed our lives once again. Our newly built home was turned into rubble, and the threat of death belongs to our daily life. In the midst of chaos and destruction, Lana gave birth to our beautiful daughter, Selen. Her arrival amidst the horrors of war felt like a miracle—a beacon of hope in our darkest hour.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yet, our struggles continue. With our home destroyed, basic necessities like food, water, and electricity became luxuries. Every day we fear for our life. Everyday is a battle for survival, a constant fear of the unknown. The future we once dreamed of now feels like another planet, overshadowed by the harsh reality of this genocide.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But amidst the despair, there is a chance for survival. With your generous support, we can escape the horrors of war and seek refuge in Rafah, Egypt. Your donation could mean the difference between life and death for my beloved family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The most important step for now is to cross the border in Rafah to Egypt. To do so we need 35.000$ for my wife Lana, our baby Selen , myself and my family
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please, help us write a new chapter—one of survival, safety and hope. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and we will be forever grateful for your support in our darkest hours.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation is highly valued and appreciated!

<div><strong>Niveen</strong>:
</div>
<div>Hello
</div>
<div>‏I am Niveen Abu Hadrous from the Gaza Strip, 30years old. A mum for beautiful kid called (Nay)’she is now 7 years old’ ,and I’m an ambitious young lady who was work independent to treat her daughter.My husband Ahmed ,36 years old, an educated man has an MA in Arabic language . We live in the Gaza Strip in difficult living conditions,bombing is everywhere ,there is no electricity, water, good food, we lost our jobs .We were displaced from our home to the city of Rafah and at any moment we could die our lives would simply end.
</div>
<div>My lovely daughter Nay has from birth a known case of Spina bifida type 3 ( you can google it) , Nay has troubles in walking that she couldn’t walk long distances so I have to carry her . When we moved and displaced from our house ! We have to carry her walking for more than 4 kilometers to reach a place where we can find any transport helping us !
</div>
<div>She needs a surgery in her backbone called Cord Detethering.
</div>
<div>‏As humans, we have the right to live peacefully, away from genocide . Me as a mum I pray everyday to protect my daughter, I wish if I could do more for her , if I could take her away from this aggressive war. I've endured 30 years of destruction in Gaza. This genocide is not the first time that has occurred.Childhood disappears in the blink of an eye. In Gaza, sleep is uncertain—waking up is not guaranteed, and returning home is a question mark. The fear of losing a family member looms. We wish this genocide were just a nightmare. Please help us leave Gaza and enter Egypt.

<div><strong>Muhammad</strong>:
</div>
<div>Hello friends, I am Muhammad Al-Masry from Gaza, 31 years old.
</div>
<div>I ask you to help me, my family, and our children so that we, a family of 30 people, can live
</div>
<div>My mother suffers from chronic diseases and needs treatment abroad
</div>
<div>I need treatment abroad, and I ask you to look at us with mercy and help us obtain treatment. There is Platinum in my spine. Our house was bombed and currently I cannot move and suffer from severe pain and lack of sleep or movement
</div>
<div>We cannot provide treatment or obtain treatment because the hospitals have been bombed
</div>
<div>We cannot provide food and drink for our children and we do not have money. Save us. Your help helps us save 30 lives of children, youth, and the elderly. We are all asking for a helping hand.
</div>
<div>In our family there are 16 children who need food, drink, treatment, milk, and diapers
</div>
<div>They need clothes
</div>
<div>We need support and care just to be able to survive
</div>
<div>I really cannot express myself. I am unable to explain the situation. It is a tragic situation, a suspicious situation. In fact, we are suffering from calamities and we see death every day with our own eyes. Please help us.
</div>
<div>thank you in advance
