<div>Update: This campaign began as an attempt to get visas for the Skaik family to escape Gaza.  Since we did not reach our goal and could not get visas for the whole family, this campaign has turned into continued food support for this family to get them through the genocide.

<div>Hi guys. My name is Mallie and I currently live in Los Angeles. But I have very dear friends in Gaza, who run an animal shelter -- Tamer and Samer Skaik and thier families. Anyway, a new deal is on the table from Egypt and they may open their borders for 45-60 days, allowing visa-holders to escape. This means that Tamer's wife Tahani and her 4 children have another chance at escaping to safety.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you haven't been following my family, Tamer and Samer are two brothers who have refused to evacuate from Northern Gaza, because they have vowed to stay and take care of their animal shelter. They have upwards of 60 cats they feed and medicate, keep alive, and comfort. If they were to leave them, the animals would perish. Their duty by Allah is to care for those who cannot care for themselves, and they live by this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But when the bombing intensified and the IOF invaded in 2024, Tamer thought it best to send his wife and 4 kids to Rafah to try to escape. We actually successfully bought them visas to leave through another Gofundme, but as they were on the waiting list to cross, Israel invaded Rafah and the borders were closed. It's been a year since then, and they need to start all over with the visa process and purchase brand new ones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This short opening of the Rafah crossing will be there last chance to escape Gaza. There is no telling what horrors will be inflicted on the Palestinians now that Trump has taken office. 2025 will be much more difficult to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So as we prepare to see much more devastation, we implore you to help get this family out. Tamer has requested I start a whole new Gofundme so we are transparent about where the donations are going to go. The other campaigns raise money for their animals, and the other raises money for food and survival.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we need those visas again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please share and get the word out there. We have a second chance at saving this family.
</div>
