Hello, my name is Ariel Collins and I live in Portland, OR in the United States. I am starting this campaign fundraiser for Heba, the sister of my dear friends Ola and Lena. Please read her words below.

I am Heba Mounir Sobhi Abu Jalhoum from Gaza. I am 21 years old and I live with my family. We are 8 people. My brother Ali is the youngest, he is just 10 years old. He is missing his school and his friends and he lives in constant fear from all the bombing. The situation is very difficult. We have been displaced but were able to return to our demolished home for shelter. We now face another displacement at any moment. The prices have reached an amount that none of us can afford and we go more than a day sometimes without eating at all. We need your support in order to survive the unimaginable nightmare that we face. We leave in constant fear and have lost family members. I hope that you will donate to us so that we can survive in terms of food. We appreciate everyone’s support no matter the amount. This will help us greatly as we do not receive any support and aid has not entered in 90 days now. Thank you for standing with us.
