Rebuild a Family's Future in Gaza: A Call for Hope

Why this fundraiser ?

My name is Islam Abu Alkas, and I’m writing from Jabalia Camp, North Gaza, where my family of 11 struggles to survive. For years, we have lived through hardship, but nothing could have prepared us for the devastation that has unfolded in our lives. On October 7, our world was turned upside down when violence swept through our neighborhood, shattering everything we held dear. We lost our home, our source of income, and our sense of safety.

As the situation in Gaza worsens, we find ourselves at a breaking point, constantly fearing for our lives. Despite everything, we are determined to rebuild our lives and find safety for our family—but we cannot do it alone. We need your help. Your donation will help us rebuild a house and allow us to have access to medical care. It will also help us follow our dream of continuing our education.

I am a third-year English student, and my sister Asma is studying pharmacy in her second year. Despite the chaos around us, we are determined to continue studying and build a better future. Your donations will help us cover our tuition fees and ensure that we don’t have to give up on our dreams.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to safety, stability, and hope. Your support is not just a financial contribution—it is a lifeline for my family. We cannot express enough how much your support means to us.

How Your Donations Will Be Spent

We believe in full transparency, and every penny you donate will be carefully used to restore our lives:

● Construction Materials: Funds will go toward purchasing essential materials such as concrete, bricks, and roofing supplies to rebuild a safe and durable home for my family. This is our first and most urgent priority, as we currently have no place to call home.

● Labor Costs: We will hire skilled workers to help with the construction, ensuring that the home is built properly and securely.

● Utilities and Essentials: The new home will need utilities like electricity, water, and sewage systems installed. We will also use part of the funds to purchase basic household items, including beds, cooking supplies, and other necessities, to make our house feel like a home once more.

● Medical Expenses: We will use the donations to cover the medical costs of my injured wife and pregnant sister, ensuring they receive the care they desperately need in these uncertain times.

● Educational Support: Some of the funds will be used to help me and my sister continue our studies, as education is our only hope for a brighter future.

● Business Recovery: Finally, we will use a portion of the funds to help my father rebuild his small shop. The shop was our family's only source of income, and restoring it will give us a path toward financial independence again.
