This campaign helps support 5 families for a total of 20 people, including 5 infants.
[UPDATE AUG 2025]
My name is Ayman Muhammed and my family and I are currently living through our 20th or 25th displacement since October 7th. Thanks to your generous support, we have been able to secure food and welcome my new son, who is now a little over a year-old.
But as the months-long blockade on food and aid entering Gaza continues, resources are incredibly hard to come by. Prices and transfer fees have also skyrocketed. Originally focused on supporting my wife, three children and my diabetic father, however, our circumstances have changed. Now I am also supporting the family of my sisters and relatives, who don’t have someone to lean on anymore.
With your donations, you’ll help each of us eat once a day, purchase more durable and larger tents, as well as secure medicine for my father’s diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. We will need 57,000 USD to secure basic necessities for the next six months. You can find a detailed cost breakdown below for your reference.
Thank you again for your time and support, it means the world to us!

My name is Ayman Muhammad. This fundraiser has been created on behalf of me and my family. We were displaced from our home shortly after October 7th and have since relocated 20-25 times, at this stage we are losing count.
At one point we were displaced from our refugee camp, and had to put up our tent near the rubble of our ruined home so that we would not be near the most recent aggression in Rafah. Shortly thereafter, we were told to relocate again, this time near the sea. Because of this, my children currently sleep on the hard ground amidst bombing and artillery fire.
I spend most of my time trying to bring food and clean water to my family. Everyday is a struggle to supply the basic supplies for survival. We are now surviving off of one meal a day, and our children are constantly hungry. Moreover, my father suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart disease. So I also make sure to find his medicine.
During this time, my son was born. Our family grew from four to five members and I am so grateful for this blessing. But finding diapers and formula is an entirely different struggle. Also, some of my family have come to live with us. It’s becoming harder and harder to support everyone.
Therefore, I kindly ask you for your support to help us survive. We are grateful to everyone who has helped us, your support has been our lifeline.
COST BREAKDOWN
Food, water and hygienics for six months: 19,500 USD
Medicine for 6 months: 4,500 USD
Tents (x5): 4,000 USD
Blankets (x20): 2,000 USD
As such, our total needs equal 30,000 USD. WIth the unfortunate transfer fees in Gaza of 45%, along with 4% for Go Fund Me, we will need to add around 57,000 USD in fees.
***Janie is a friend in the US who has been collecting donations for some of my campaigns for my community in Gaza in the past and continues to do so here. She agreed to help organize this campaign for us, as many donation collection services and transfer services are prohibited here. She transfers funds directly to us as soon as she receives them. ***
