My name is Erin Lobis and this fundraiser is for a friend, Bilal Al-Jalab. A message from my friend Bilal:

”Hello, I am Bilal, 24 years old. I live in Gaza, which has been subjected to genocide for more than a year and a half. I have lost a lot during this period, most notably my home, my friends, and members of my family. I now live in an old, very dilapidated tent and take care of my family alone. There is no one to help us except the people who care about our cause in Palestine and support us. Therefore, I am sending you a message that I am ashamed of myself writing now, but the difficult situation that forces us to do this in order to raise a little money for my family. If you can help me through the gofundme link, I would be truly happy and hope for a response and support, even if only morally, because I need a lot. Thank you.”
