Support My Gaza Family in Rebuilding Their Lives

Donation protected

It's with profound sorrow, that I share the devastating news of my brother, Chef Mahmoud, who was assassinated by the Israeli army in broad daylight. Mahmoud was more than a brother—he was a hero. A selfless soul who devoted his life to serving others, his only "crime" was ensuring his neighbors in the north had hot meals and that the local hospital had essential supplies—food, water, blankets, diapers, and whatever else was needed.

On the day he was murdered, his youngest child was just ten days old. Seven children now face life without their father, a man who should be here today, continuing his mission of compassion and care. I should not be writing this farewell for yet another brother, yet here I am, calling for help to support the family he left behind.

We’ve launched this campaign to give his children a chance to rebuild their lives when this genocide finally ends. As their uncle, I will do everything I can to support them—it is my duty, my promise to Mahmoud. But I cannot do this alone.

I invite all who knew and loved Chef Mahmoud, and all who believe in the kindness he embodied, to join me in this effort. Together, we can honor his memory and ensure his children have the security and support they need for the future.

Your generosity can make a world of difference. Thank you for standing with us during this heartbreaking time.

In gratitude,

Hani

P.S. Please keep Mahmoud and his family in your thoughts and prayers. As Allah reminds us in the Quran:
"Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:156)

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Hani Almadhoun here.

I come to you with a heavy heart and a plea for help for my family in Gaza. My mother, siblings, and other loved ones have endured an unfathomable tragedy, losing not just their homes, but four beloved children and all their possessions in this ongoing genocide. This violence has left them in dire need of our collective support and generosity.

Imagine waking up to find your world shattered, your home reduced to rubble, and the precious lives of your children tragically taken away. This is the reality that the Almadhoun family faces today. The resilience of my relatives in the face of such immense loss is both inspiring and heart-wrenching.

We aim to provide them with the means to rebuild their lives from scratch. Every donation, no matter the size, will directly contribute to their immediate needs—shelter, food, medical assistance, memorial service, and the hope to start anew.

Your support will make a tangible difference in helping my family find a semblance of stability and hope amidst the chaos and devastation they've experienced.

Let's rally together in solidarity and kindness to extend a helping hand to the Almadhoun family during this unimaginably difficult time. Your donations will go directly towards rebuilding their lives and providing them with the essential resources needed to move forward.

Thank you in advance for your kindness, and for bringing a glimmer of light to my family in such a dark time.

In Solidarity,

Hani Almadhoun
