Hello - my name is Grace, I live in Chicago and I am organizing this fundraiser for my friend Naima. We have been friends for some time now and I have seen how she uses the money from donors to buy food and medicine for her family and younger siblings.

I am an American and am ashamed at how my country is funding this g e no ci de.

Every little bit helps and I encourage you to step up and help Naima. Here is her story:

"I am Naima from G a z a. I am 20 years old. I have a family of 7 people. We live in a displaced persons tent since the first day of the w a r. I was a student, and I was not able to complete my studies because of the circumstances we are currently going through in G @ z @. My parents are unemployed.

The w a r has returned, death surrounds us everywhere, and intense fear fills our hearts. We live in difficult living conditions, without shelter and unable to provide the basic necessities of life. We would like to donate to provide food, water, clothing, and medicine. Your donations could save us until G a z a is evacuated."

You can DM me on gofundme if you would like Naima’s email address to contact her directly.

Thank you so much

-Grace and Naima
