Hello, my name is Raymond Kang and I am starting this fundraiser to support my friend Abdullah and his family. They are desperately trying to survive. Please read his story below:

I will tell you my story now. I am Abdullah Qadih from Gaza. I live in Khan Younis, but specifically Khuza'a. I am 16 years old and I have one brother and three sisters. I lost a lot in this war. First, I lost my future and my dreams. I am broken. I don't know what to tell you. I lost my education. I lost my best friends. I also lost my grandfather and my home, but the damage is simple. I don't know what to tell you.

We have suffered a lot. We have lived all kinds of pain and suffering. We have been displaced more than 6 times. We are tired of this life and now we are suffering too. We have returned to our home but the situation is very difficult and every day we are being bombed

A bathroom costs $200 and every day we get more than $20 in water. The rent for the land is $50 every week. We need to buy a water tank that costs $180 and buy a second tent because it doesn’t fit my family and its price is $1,500.

Every displacement costs my family more than $200 in transportation. Every time my family is displaced, they borrow money from our relatives. We borrow more than $8,500 from our relatives, and I hope we can pay them off as soon as possible.

Hello, Ray again. I hope you all can help support Abdullah and the Qadih family survive Gaza and eventually return to their home. Thank you!
