Hi lovely people. My name is Raya, i live in California. I am helping my dear friend Alan to raise money for herself and her family of 7 in Gaza. They have been displaced, lost their home and jobs, currently living in unimaginable conditions sharing a homemade tent. We are asking for donations to help support them enough to feed the family and for medicine as well. Alaa is a college student who has had to pause her education due to the genocide and being displaced. Her father lost his job due to the displacement and war; they have no income. I ask you for a second to put yourself in their position and think of how much it would mean for someone to kindly donate. It means the world. Here are some words from

Alaa:

My name is Alaa, a university student from Gaza. I scored 94.9% on my high school exams. I'm studying Business Administration at the Islamic University of Gaza, with the program taught in English. I've completed my first semester, but unfortunately, I'm currently unable to continue my studies due to tuition fees. I'm also displaced from my city and home. My family of seven and I live in a tent after losing our house and being forced to leave with nothing. We've suffered and continue to suffer in the tent, lacking food, water, and many other necessities as a displaced family.

My father also lost his job and livelihood because of the war; the occupation completely destroyed his businesses. The war left us with nothing, and even after it ended, our suffering has only increased. I'm here to ask for your help. I hope you can support me and my family so we can at least provide food and water. I have hope that you will be the reason I can complete my university studies. While the war may have shattered all our hopes, I cannot let my education and my dream be lost.

all money received will be given directly to Alaa. I speak with her frequently and can verify anything if need be.
