<div>My name is Soki based in UK/Canada and I am trying to help Walid evacuate his family in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here is their story:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, my name is Walid Abdusidu currently based in Tunisia, and my everything, the Abusidu family is facing an ongoing nightmare in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This past October, our worst nightmare came true, we lost everything. My family who still lives in Gaza has been living in fear, in a war zone that has been continuously bombed for over 180 days with little to no safe area to go to.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their final hope for survival is to make the traitorous escape from Gaza to the Rafah border into Egypt. The cost for this life saving trip unfortunately very high at= 5000$ per person. This is a huge amount of money that I am unable to raise myself, but it is the price for my family’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For context here is some background on my family.
</div>
<div>I left Gaza in 2010 to pursue my education and haven’t returned since. Now I have a family in Tunisia, but left behind are my parents Rafat B.S Abusidu and Safaa A. R. Abusidu, and my 3 brothers : Khaled Abusidu, Mohamed Abusidu, and Ahmed R.B Abusidu.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A week before the start of the war, my mom was trying to convince me to visit, talking about how Gaza is all changed and re-built now. How peaceful and almost normal like it felt. I could have been there too, but I believe that I wasn’t in order to help save my family’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We used to be normal people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My father Rafaat Abusidu is a business man, and although the Gaza siege made his glass factory shut down, he still managed to stay positive and open a mini-market. Needless to say that even that was destroyed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>New update the factory also bombed !

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mother, Safaa, always believed in the importance of educating the young generations and gave everything to her work. She was as a school principle and was awarded the best school principle certificate by the ministry of education, before her cherished school turned into a shelter.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As for my brothers :
</div>
<div>Khaled and his wife Reem, lost their house and the hospital they worked in and are now living alongside their children Rafat and Massa in a 3 m2 tent in Rafah along the southern strip and separated from the rest of the family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mohammed R. B. Abusidu and his wife Samah, and after loosing one child to cancer four years ago, are now pregnant and due any time now. Samah has been living off water and bread for months and will now have to prepare to give birth in the middle of nowhere, with no basic necessities and no basic medical supplies for her and the child to come.
</div>

<div>New picture update received from the family 14/5/2024 baby adam birth
</div>
<div>Don't let him face all of this
</div><img alt="79111363_1715756849309839_r.jpg" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79111363_1715756849309839_r.jpg" width="100%" />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My youngest Ahmed Abusidu is seeing his dream of completing his education vanish. He’s lost friends, and is worried he’s next.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family members are stuck in what used to be our home, with nothing but the clothes on their back, their IDs and passports. Every minute matters and my only wish in the world is to get them out, alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To coordinate passage across the Rafah border to Egypt, 5000 - 8000$ needs to be paid on behalf of every single person to an organisation to ensure their name is on the travel list. In total, we need 120,000$ to secure the coordination, transportation, flights and necessities to relocate and I’d like to believe it’s possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider situation and your donation no matter how small, can save my family and help reunite us together. If you are unable to donate, please help by sharing our story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds will be withdrawn by Walid Abdusidu, and then sent to Egypt to a friend who will go in person to Hala organization bureau to pay for the fee for each family member.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>CURRENCY EXCHANGE:</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Please note that this campaign is in Canadian Dollars (CAD) </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>The currency rate is approximately (as of March 31, 2024):</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li><em>1 CAD = 0.59 GBP, so if you would like to donate 20 GBP you would need to type in 34 CAD</em>
</li>
<li><em>1 CAD = 0.74 USD, so if you like to donate 20 USD, you would need to type in 27 CAD</em>
</li>
</ul>
<div>Thank you so much for taking the time to read my family's story.
