Dear Friends and Supporters,
I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart as I embark on this urgent fundraising effort. After exploring every possible option to evacuate my family from Gaza, I find myself in a situation where I must turn to you for assistance as I am personally unable to do this alone.
I have my family in Canada, myself, my wife and our 2 kids to care for.
In Jordan, my 7 family members need ongoing support as they reside their illegally like many Palestinians and are at risk of being sent to Gaza at anytime.
My parents and the 7 family members with them in Gaza struggle with daily needs: food, water, medications, and shelter, and I must secure finances for all of their eventual evacuation and immigration.
Please help my family survive and reunite.
Why Your Support is Crucial
This fundraising campaign is essential for providing the necessary resources during this critical time. Here’s why your contributions matter:
Urgent Need: The situation in Gaza is dire, and my family’s safety is at immediate risk.
Limited Resources: Despite my best efforts, time is running out, and every moment counts.
Your Impact: The funds raised will go directly towards securing safe passage and essential resources for my family.
I deeply appreciate any support you can offer during this challenging time. Together, we can make a significant difference. Thank you for considering helping us in this urgent crisis.
About Me and My Family
My name is Mohammed Alnajjar, and I am a Network Analyst Specialist. My wife, Abeer, is a dedicated Pharmacist. Together, we have worked hard to build a meaningful life in Canada with our two wonderful children.
A Call for Help
Today, I am reaching out for your help. Your support is crucial for my family's safety and well-being, enabling us to build a new life in a country that offers stability, opportunity, and hope for the future.
I am immensely grateful for any assistance you can provide. Your contribution represents more than just financial aid; it is a testament to your compassion and a direct lifeline for my family during these challenging times. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
Personal Appeal
My family has known displacement all too well. I grew up in Gaza, enduring hardships that are now haunting my loved ones again. Living in Canada, I am constantly reminded of the stark contrast in safety and stability I experience here. The despair of losing contact, the routine dread of losing someone overnight—these fears are my reality.
I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of safety and stability in Canada. I yearn to offer my family the same sense of security I have found here. I am grateful to the Canadian government for this reunification opportunity, but I need your help to make it a reality. Your support is not just about funds; it's about extending a hand of humanity to those in dire need.
How Donations Will Help
Each donation serves as a beacon of hope. It will directly fund:
Basic Needs: Support for my five-month-old niece, who was born during the genocide and lacks the basic requirements for healthy growth.
Temporary Haven: Providing a safe place for my family to move to Egypt.
Resettlement Assistance: Helping my family settle in Canada.
With rising living costs, especially housing, your support becomes even more crucial. It’s about giving them a foundation to rebuild their lives, transition from survival to living, and eventually contribute to the community, just as I have been striving to do.
The Importance of Your Donations
Your donations play a pivotal role beyond immediate financial aid; they serve as tangible proof to the Canadian government that I can fulfill my responsibilities as an anchor for my family, in line with the eligibility requirements of the reunification program. We must demonstrate that my family members will not be reliant on public assistance upon their arrival in Canada.
How Your Support Makes a Difference
With your support, I can ensure that my family has the means to live with dignity. In time, they can, like my wife and I, become contributing members of the community and active participants in the Canadian economy. Your generosity is not just a gift of funds; it’s an investment in the lives of individuals eager to build a new, productive, and meaningful life in Canada.
Bridging the Financial Gap
While the Canadian government has opened a pathway for family reunification, it does not extend financial support to the newcomers availing of this opportunity. This creates a significant gap in my ability to bring my family to safety and stability. Therefore, I turn to you, my community and compassionate individuals, to help us bridge this financial gap. Your support is crucial in turning this government initiative into a life-changing reality for my loved ones.
Seeking Assistance for Reunification and Settlement
I am earnestly seeking your assistance to fund the reunification and subsequent settlement of my family in Canada. Every dollar raised through this campaign will be diligently used to cover a range of essential expenses for my family members. These costs include, but are not limited to:
Paperwork: Biometrics, issuing passports, application fees, driver licenses, insurance fees, mailing, etc.
Accommodation: Temporary housing until visas are granted.
Flights: Travel from Egypt to Calgary.
Establishment Costs: Initial accommodation, furniture, transportation, weather-appropriate clothing, phone lines, etc.
Initial Expenses: Pocket money for groceries and other necessities, if funds permit.
English Language Classes: Essential for their integration into the community.
About My Family
My family consists of 16 members, including 5 children and babies, representing a tapestry of lives disrupted. Each member has a unique story and a dream deferred. Their displacement is not just physical; it’s a displacement of hope and security.
From living under open skies in makeshift tents to facing acute shortages of food, water, and medical care, their resilience is being tested every moment.
My family fled, leaving behind most of their clothing and essentials, a testament to the urgency of their escape.
Your support is not just financial; it is a chance for my family to reclaim their hope and security. Together, we can help them start anew in a country that offers them safety and opportunities. Thank you for considering this urgent appeal. Your kindness can change lives.
