Hello! My name is Pelham and I am a 21-year-old college student from Washington state. I have been in contact with and helping raise money for Ahmed Al-Najjar and his family for 7 months. He is an incredibly kind human, always working to support the people around him. He recently asked me to make a new GoFundMe for him and his family to help them raise money to rebuild their destroyed home. All funds received here will be transferred directly to Ahmed via PayPal or bank transfer.

Here are some of his own words:

I am Ahmed from Gaza, I am 21 years old. My family and I used to live in my village, Khaza’a. We had a two-story house, the upper floor belonged to my brother from Zinqo and the ground floor belonged to my family. We lived the most beautiful and happy days. Our house was bulldozed and demolished and we were displaced in the winter since the first day of the war, October 7. My family and I suffered a lot as we fled from place to place during the war under the rain and wind. We went through difficulties and were exposed to bombing and humiliation. We suffered more than you can imagine. My future and my family’s was completely destroyed. I want your support to recover our home and lands and to donate to save me and my family. Thank you from the heart of Gaza . I wrote ✍ with my black pen from the bottom of my heart .
