Hello, my name is Diego and I am a student living in Seattle, WA who is raising funds for Ola, a 6-month-old infant living in Gaza with her parents, Mehdi and Rawan, and her two older sisters. Ola is currently suffering from malnourishment, and her family is struggling to provide the essentials she needs to recover and grow. Mehdi, Ola’s father, is not only caring for his own three children but also for his sister’s two daughters, after their father was martyred about a year ago. This extended family is doing everything they can to survive and support each other in the midst of an ongoing crisis.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward medical care for Ola, as well as food, baby supplies, diapers, clothes, and other essentials for all the children in the household. The cost of living in Gaza is extremely high, making it nearly impossible for families like Mehdi’s to access the care and supplies they desperately need.

Even the smallest donations help. This is a time sensitive and ongoing effort. By helping those who are in the greatest need, in one of the most dispossessed places on earth, our own reward is beyond measure.

Please share this with others, even if you cannot donate.

If you would like to keep up with Mehdi on Instagram, his handle is @ola_mahdi_.2002

Thank you for your kindness and consideration.

PS: All donations will go towards the humanitarian needs of Mehdi and his family and are in no way, shape or form connected to any aspect of the armed conflict that has wracked the Gaza Strip and the wider region. The funds will be sent to Mehdi through my own bank account, via Paypal and local money exchange services.
