Dear Friends,

My name is abedalrahman rafat , and I write to you with a heavy heart from New Jersey. By now, many of you may be aware of the dire

and heartbreaking situation unfolding in Gaza. It pains me deeply to share that many of my beloved family members are currently trapped in Gaza amidst relentless bombings, desperately seeking refuge and safety.

Among those in Gaza are my dears sisters and Their plight is one of unimaginable suffering – they are starving due to the scarcity of food, falling ill from contaminated water, and enduring severe living conditions that threaten their very existence.

Despite my relentless efforts, I have faced insurmountable challenges in trying to secure humanitarian visas or asylum for my family members. The only option presented to me was to pay a staggering $5,000 for each individual's escape – a sum that I simply cannot afford. Hindered by the lack of reliable internet access, my communication with them is sparse, but the brief exchanges I have had paint a grim picture of their deteriorating circumstances.

My grandmother, who is already ailing, is now running dangerously low on essential medications, with no access to proper medical care or supplies. Gaza has become a place devoid of safety, where the basic necessities of life are increasingly scarce, and the threat of violence looms constantly overhead.

I have reached a breaking point in my attempts to secure my family's safety, and I implore you, dear friends, to extend your compassion and support in any way you can. Your generosity could make all the difference in facilitating my family's safe passage out of Gaza, away from the horrors they face daily.

Thank you from the depths of my heart for your kindness and solidarity during this harrowing time. Any contributions received will be directed towards my family's urgent needs and their journey to safety, facilitated through Western Union.
