URGENT and IMMEDIATE need for support for Sajid & Family

Donation protected
UPDATE: The entire family was forced to leave their tents within minutes and had to leave with the clothes on their backs. They are in need of emergency funds to purchase new tents and try to find food. ANY amount is greatly appreciated. Please share the campaign if you can. THANK YOU ***Previous Message*** Please join me from the United States along with family friends from around the world including Austria, Australia, Ireland, Canada, Belgium, Egypt, Norway, Switzerland, Czechia, The Emirates, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia, The Netherlands, and New Zeland to raise much-needed funds for the family of Greatest Grandpa, Hussein Aburedah. If you have been blessed with a wonderful father or grandfather in your life whom you look up to, you know what a positive impact they can have on your life, your family, or your community. The Greatest Grandpa was born December 15, 1962 to parents who had been forcibly removed from their own family homes in 1948. Despite harsh childhood conditions, he grew up to be a man of honor and is deeply respected by everyone. He met his beautiful wife and raised a family which now includes 21 grandchildren, “The Rascals,” who absolutely adored him. He always helped everyone. Funds raised will help the family receive proper medical attention, possible evacuation travel, medical supplies, food and a solar panel to help provide electricity. It was an honor to know him and a greater honor to be able to help his beautiful family. Even donating the cost of a cup of coffee can make a difference. Each bit of support helps tremendously including sharing this with others, prayers and sending well-wishes. With gratitude, Melissa.

A MESSAGE FROM HIS SON AND OUR DEAR FRIEND, SAJID: Hello, I am Sajid from Gaza. I am 20 years old and I would like to tell you about my father. My father had hereditary kidney disease and lived on only one kidney and with dialysis. My family, my father and I were besieged in Nasser Hospital back in February 2024 when he was very sick. Last year, we tried and others tried to help us to evacuate from Gaza to receive the necessary treatment, but he passed away before we could leave. I have had the appropriate paperwork and identification travel documents since August of 2024.

My father loved life. We were displaced from our home and living in tents which exposed my father to significant medical neglect and intense pain and suffering as he suffered from complete kidney failure in the tents. This caused him a lot of fatigue and health and psychological problems. He is now at peace and we are grateful there is no more pain but we miss him terribly.

Please donate whatever you can so we can to help our family. Please understand we need you and we need your generous donations of any amount will change our situation for the better. May God bless you and reward you.
