Hi! My name is Sophia, I am 26 years old, and am from Oakland, CA. I came into contact with Mahmoud from Gaza this past year and we have been in contact ever since. He previously had a GoFundMe to support him with his medical treatment as well as essential items like food and clothes, but the person who was sending him funds

decided to stop sending Mahmoud his money. Thus, we are starting a new GoFundMe for him.

Here are some words from Mahmoud:

I am Mahmoud Al-Bardawil. My home was bombed, and my entire family was martyred. I only found out what happened after I was rescued from beneath the rubble and woke up in the hospital. Now, I am left alone amidst the war, siege, hunger, and endless destruction. Additionally, I am injured in my right hand, and I cannot use it or work to earn a living. My condition requires surgery and I hope everyone will help me with financial support so that I can receive treatment. Thank you.
