Support Ahmed Khaled and His Family

Hi everyone,

My name is Kejsida and I'm from the United States. Ahmed Khaled, a 25-year-old Palestinian living in Deir al Balah, Gaza, reached out to me and asked if I could create a GoFundMe campaign for him and his family. Ahmed recently informed me that he and his wife just had a baby, and desperately need donations now more than ever.

As I'm sure you know, Palestinians in Gaza are facing a brutal reality: genocide. They have no source of food, clean water, and proper shelter, with the Israeli Occupying Forces (IOF) blocking all access to aid. The IOF has targeted safe havens such as hospitals, schools, places of worship, and even targeted Palestinians in their own tents. As of right now, it is estimated that over 100,000 Palestinians have been killed, many including young children. This number also includes the many Palestinian journalists (over 170) that seek to share the truth with the world.

Here is what Ahmed wrote himself:

Hello, my name is Ahmed Khaled. I am 25 years old, married with one child, and live in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip. I studied public relations and media at Gaza University and graduated in 2018. We are in dire need of assistance to rebuild our family home. We also had a baby girl a few days ago and are in dire need of diapers, baby formula, and clothes to keep the baby warm during this unpredictable weather.

On the first night of the war on Gaza, my family and I were forced to flee our home and seek refuge in Rafah. This was our first displacement. During the first ceasefire of the war, our remaining neighbors informed us that our home, our only source of income, had been destroyed. The place where I worked was also destroyed, as was my father's livelihood, who worked the land that provided us with our daily sustenance. This devastating blow shattered our hopes of returning to normal life.

In the eighth month of the war of extermination and destruction, we were asked to evacuate Rafah, and we were displaced once again to Deir al-Balah under harsh, bitter, and difficult conditions. It's difficult, with food, water, and medicine in short supply.

Funds raised will be used for the following:

Basic daily necessities: food, water, diapers, baby formula, and winter clothes for babies

Proper shelter (waterproof tent)

Your prayers and donations for Gaza and my family's survival are greatly appreciated.
