Assalamualaikum! My name is Iliana Bollom, I am a Humanitarian Activist from Texas. I've help many families in Gaza and those who are displaced in Egypt through fundraising efforts. I am now creating this campaign for a family of 5. I was reached by Odey, he is a 15 year old teen boy from Gaza and his parents battle Type 1 Diabetes that requires medical attention, insulin and good nutrition. It's been 60 days from today, May 2nd, 2025 that no humanitarian aid has entered Gaza.

How the funds will be spent:

The funds will be spent for food, clothes, clean drinking water, medicine and transportation in case they are displaced. For those who are just learning about this war, you need to know that there is no life in Gaza anymore, as everything has been destroyed, therefore, people cannot work and they depend on donations until this war comes to an end. Everyone has lost their home and they live in tents. Odey is only 15 years old and is asking the world to help them survive this famine. They are starving and the little food that they do have in the markets and whatever is available to buy, is really expensive. This is why we need you.

Delivering the funds:

I will personally deliver the funds to Odey through a Paypal or any other form we have available. One of his family members has a PayPal and they were kind to let us use it. Keep in mind that Paypal takes a large commission fee; in addition to the fee that it takes to withdraw it in Gaza as well which is approximately 18-25%. Please help me help this little boy who just wants to eat, drink clean water and save his parents life.

Thank you for your support and donation in advance. Please help me help this young man.

From Odey:

"I can't lose anyone in my family because of the war. Stand with me until we get rid of the reason to save our lives. Please don't ignore my pain, stand with me, save my family from the silence of hunger. Unfortunately, in Gaza, if we survive the bombing, we will not escape famine. Look at us with mercy. We are human beings like you. We deserve life.

I am Adi from Gaza, I am 15 years old. Our house was bombed by the Israeli occupation during the war. We left it and did not take anything from the house. My father is a chronic diabetic and suffers from coma almost daily. We live in a tent. My mother is also a chronic diabetic and her hair is falling out because of malnutrition and lack of medicine."
