Help Rima’s Family to Provide for Their Needs

My name is Melissa Le-Lewis, an American educator from California, and I am starting this fundraiser on the behalf of Rima Saeed Abu Raida from the Gaza Strip. I will send her any funds as soon as they are available in my account.

Here is Rima’s Story: From the heart of hunger and destruction... I appeal to your compassionate hearts.

I am a mother from Gaza. All I want is to keep my little boy, Aseel, alive. We are a small family living amidst bombing, fear, and famine. There is no longer a safe place, no food, and not even the most basic necessities of life.

Aseel needs diapers, milk, and hygiene products... and I have nothing.

A bag of flour, the most basic thing any household could need, has become an unattainable dream. Its price today is $600, and we need it every three weeks. How can a displaced family that has lost everything endure this?

I write to you with tears welling up in my eyes. I have no choice but to appeal to your humanity.

Help me feed my child... clothe him... keep him warm in this cold world.

Every donation from you is a ray of life for us, a mercy that touches Aseel's little heart.

Don't leave us alone in this darkness... you are our only hope.
