Support Nermeen and Her Family in Gaza

Hi, my name is Sharareh and I am based in California, and I am creating this GoFundMe for my friend Nermeen Ziyad Abo Mostafa, a 21-year-old Palestinian medical student living in Gaza. Below is a message from Nermeen regarding the goals for her fundraiser:

Hello, My name is Nermeen.

I first made this GoFundMe to raise funds

to support my ability to complete my medical studies abroad, pay university fees, and help my family with expenses as this is our only income. 

On Sunday May 18, my entire family and I were displaced from our home after continuous bombing that lasted for three days. We lost 10 of our neighbors. We have lost our home. My father, who spent much of his life working very hard to provide us this home, has devastated him.

To this day, we are still in the tent.

Up to this point, I have been trying to raise funds to help with my university fees. I have also had to use much of my campaign funds to support my family during this war and I should continue do this.

I need donations desperately to continue to raise money for both my medical education but most immediately support my family as well.

My goal is to raise $60,000 overall to achieve the above goals.

• $15,000 - fees for my studies over the next three years

• $8,000 - cost for my traveling expenses

• $20,000 - cost for rebuild the distruction of my home

• The rest of the donations I receive will go towards supporting my family

I will share more about me below and how you can follow my story:

I volunteer at the European Gaza Hospital, where I have acquired many skills by working in the field and helping doctors. You can read about my journey helping those in Gaza at the Gaza European Hospital here in these articles :

I share my story with hope that I can receive support and assistance with these costs, and ultimately pursue my dreams, passions and help my family.
