My name is Aida Ortiz, and I am a resident of the United States. I recently video chatted with this lovely family, and Sham's mother asked me to help them start a fundraiser.

The Palestinian people are enduring unimaginable hardships. This crisis did not begin on October 7; it has been ongoing for many years. The theft of their land and resources has left countless families with nothing. Currently, the majority of children in Gaza are malnourished, and the region has the highest number of child amputees in the world. Please consider helping Sham and her family. All donations will go directly to them to meet their needs.
