Give Yusuf's Family a Chance to Live and Learn

Help Save My Family in Gaza – We Urgently Need Your Support

Hello, my name is Yusuf, and I live in Gaza with my family of 8 members, including my grandfather and grandmother. I'm writing to you today in desperate need of your support during one of the most difficult times of our lives.

My grandfather is in critical health condition and urgently needs to be evacuated for medical treatment abroad. At the same time, my family is living in constant danger, without a home or any source of income, and we are doing everything we can just to survive.

In 2021, we lost everything — our home, my mother’s office, and all our possessions. We started to rebuild from nothing, but in 2023, our family home was destroyed again. Even the storage units for our small business were looted and destroyed. It was our last source of income — and it’s gone.

Now we are left with nothing. We are trapped in dangerous and unbearable conditions, with children to protect, elders to care for, and no safe shelter.

One of the hardest things is watching my brothers and sisters lose their right to education. I, too, dream of continuing my education and building a future, but right now, survival comes first. Still, we hold on to hope — that with your support, we can find safety, rebuild our lives, and return to school.

I am asking, from the depths of my heart:

Please help me raise $15,000 to:

1. Who I am:

Name: Yusuf Zaim

Location: Gaza City, Palestine

Role: Organizer of this fundraiser on behalf of my family

2. Who I'm raising funds for:

My grandfather, who is critically ill and needs urgent care abroad

My family members: my parents, siblings (all minors), and grandparents – all currently residing in Gaza City

I live with them and am directly organizing this campaign to help them

3. How the funds will be used:

Medical evacuation and treatment for my grandfather

Temporary shelter and housing for the entire family

Basic survival needs: food, clean water, medicine, clothing, hygiene supplies

Educational support so I and my siblings can continue our studies, which were interrupted by the conflict

Evacuate my grandfather for urgent medical treatment

Help relocate my family to a safer place

Provide temporary housing and essential needs (food, water, clothing, medicine)

Support me and my siblings in continuing our education

Every donation, no matter how small, is a step toward survival, dignity, and a better future for my family.

Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your generosity. You’re not just helping one person — you’re giving hope to an entire family.

With hope and gratitude,

Yusuf
