Hello supporters of Qusay:

We are drowning in torrential rain, thunderstorms, and bitter cold. We can't afford clothes or shelter for where my family and I live. We are suffering from the bitter cold, world! My little sister, Maryam, is suffering terribly from the cold due to the lack of clothes and tents. I hope you can help me by donating and spreading the word about this campaign. ️

Hello supporters, a message from Qusay:

My nine-year-old sister, Maryam, lived through the most difficult days of her life during the war of genocide and famine. Maryam wanted to go to school like the children of the world. But the occupation destroyed her school, her amusement park, and her dreams. In this brutal war that kills children, I hope the whole world will stand with Maryam so she can live like the children of the world.

Hello supporters of Qusay:

The Israeli occupation destroyed my workplace in the war of extermination and destroyed everything in my life, and now I do nothing. I hope that the people of the world will help me by donating and spreading the campaign on social media pages so that I can reopen my workplace, and this costs me a lot of money, about 10,000 US dollars. I hope you can help me in North Gaza.

Edit: This was written before news that Netanyahu stalls on meeting to actually do the ceasefire, and attacks on the Gaza strip intensifies. Please continue supporting. ~Mandy

A message from Qusay:

Dear donors: I am Qusay Madi, still in Gaza. There is good news but there is also preliminary news. The good news is that there is a temporary ceasefire in Gaza and there may be a permanent one soon. Starting next Sunday, a small number of people will be allowed to leave for medical treatment. We hope that the border to Egypt will reopen in the coming weeks or months and Palestinians can finally be reunited with their friends and families on the other side of the border.Qusay and his friends hope to cross to Egypt as soon as possible for work. They already have work visas waiting for them.

We are so grateful to everyone who contributed to supporting their family. You have helped in countless ways. He can eat and stay as warm as possible thanks to you. We fear that people will stop sharing the campaign because of the news of this ceasefire

Please understand that conditions are still dire and dangerous although less threatening now. They still have to worry about food, nutrition, illness, and having basic comforts at home. They have no heating or plumbing. They only own you. Please share this campaign with your family, friend or co-worker. Please print it out and bring it to your church, temple, or mosque. Please do everything you can, from the bottom of my heart.

Hello supporters of Qusay, yesterday I sent $500 via Paypal to one of his contacts. It will be used for food, protection of his tent, as well as medicine for his father:

My father suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure. He suffers all night long from pain in his face, back, head and feet. Due to shortage in Gaza, the medicines are very expensive. Here is a picture of my father.

Please wish a Happy Birthday to Qusay and safety to his family:

I am Qusay, born in Gaza on November 4, 2001. Today I have turned 23 years old since the beginning of the war. I lost my home, my job, my place of work, and my university. The occupation has killed my relatives and friends. Since the beginning of the war, the Israeli occupation forced me from my home. I was displaced more than 6 times, and I live in a tent, and the Israeli occupation is still bombing. He kills and destroys everything. Life is a refugee in Khan Yunis. I hope you can help me

My name is Mandy and I am currently living in Chicago. I am creating this for my friend Qusay; I will be periodically transferring funds to his Paypal account as needed. Please read his story:

I am Qusay Muhammad Ismail Madi. My family and I are looking for support to leave Gaza. My family and I have endured difficult circumstances and unimaginable suffering for nearly nine months. Every day I spend in Gaza is a terrifying reality of not surviving From the next bombing. With the situation worsening and my life under threat on a daily basis, this is an urgent call for help.

Despite the constant bombardment and destruction, they have embodied resilience and strength in the face of these hardships. My home was destroyed, and my source of work for me, my father, and my sisters was completely destroyed. We had to move twice to the southern Gaza Strip, and my family and I have nothing but the clothes on our backs. We have been suffering from hunger, lack of clean water, electricity, internet, and insufficient medical care since the beginning of October. We witnessed destruction and death from around Holent, heard the constant explosions of bombs day and night, were exposed to white phosphorus being dropped on them, and lost everything we owned. This is in addition to the psychological and emotional impact that we may never experience.

I am heading out to collect donations that will help allow me to escape these disastrous circumstances. The goal is to move me to a safe place outside Gaza and away from the current danger. We are being asked to pay about $7,000 per person to be allowed to leave Gaza.

Your support means more than just financial assistance. It is solidarity, comradeship in the face of injustice, humanity, and a commitment to the preservation of human life. I humbly ask you to help me help my family reach safety. I also ask to share their story and stand by them in the most difficult times of their lives.
