My name is Carol Dawson, and I live in Columbus, Ohio. I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Hussam Al-Zamili, who has just turned 18 years old. I met Hussam through humanitarian aid coordination efforts in early 2024. His home was destroyed by Israeli airstrikes, leaving him displaced and struggling to survive in catastrophic conditions. This campaign is dedicated to helping Hussam rebuild his life and meet his most basic needs for safety, stability, and dignity. ⸻ How the funds will be used and transferred All funds raised here will first be collected in my verified GoFundMe account in the United States. I personally transfer the funds to Hussam Al-Zamili’s personal bank account at the Bank of Palestine through Chase Global Transfers. These transfers are documented, direct, and transparent, ensuring that the funds reach him safely. Funds will be used to: • Secure safe shelter • Purchase food, water, and essential supplies • Cover emergency medical and living costs This fundraiser supports civilian humanitarian relief only and is not connected to any political or armed organization. ⸻ Why I’m organizing this I have stayed in contact with Hussam throughout this crisis. His strength and kindness in the face of unimaginable loss have deeply moved me. I believe in mutual aid as solidarity, and this campaign is one small way to stand beside him as he rebuilds his life. If you can, please donate or share this campaign to help Rebuild Hope for Hussam Al-Zamili. Together, we can make survival possible — and dignity, too.
