Hi, I am Christine, and I am a businesswoman in Arizona. I trained, worked with and coached several young Palestinians over the course of the last 20 years. One of those young professionals is Hanan. Prior to last October, Hanan worked in Gaza as an English language trainer and held the position of Recruitment Assistant at MENA Alliances, a company that I have partnered with many times over the last 5 years. Hanan resides in the Gaza Strip with her husband and their daughter, Mais. Over the past eight months, they have endured the devastating effects of ongoing conflict and are currently facing the relentless barrage of attacks.

The situation has forced them to constantly seek shelter and safety, and unfortunately, Hanan's husband has sustained injuries during this time. Their home has been severely damaged, and they have lost nearly everything they own. They have, so far, been forced to migrate 13 times from place to place searching for safety. The current circumstances have left Hanan and her family in dire need of support. She reached out to me to ask for assistance in setting up a GoFundMe campaign to seek financial aid. Any help would be immensely appreciated and would go a long way in helping them rebuild their lives during this challenging period. You can see from these personal pictures Hanan sent of their living situation how much they suffer to bring the basic things they need to survive. These photos are from their life. Their dream is returning to their house...but you can see the devastation that it is in. Hanan will write their story and I will post it in the next couple of days. But I wanted to get this campaign active ASAP. Please...if you can find it in your heart to help...or at the very least, share this campaign for others to be aware. The money will not replace their lives, but it is a tool in helping them survive for now. Thank you!! Regards, Christine
