My name is Sarah Bates. I am managing this campaign on behalf of Allam Atallah, a young from Gaza Deir al-Balah, Palestine.

Prior to the ongoing campaign of violence across Gaza, Allam was a university student studying to become a professor of technological education. He shared the same interests and hobbies as many young Palestinians: he enjoyed seeing friends, playing football, and going to the beach. Now, Allam's home has been destroyed and he and his family have been displaced. Allam's former life has been destroyed by the occupation, but we can come together to help him rebuild a new life.

Allam is the sole provider for his family, and is tasked with looking after both siblings and cousins. Allam is defined by his altruism, compassion, and willingness to look after others. Whether he is putting a smile on the faces of his younger cousins, securing water for the family, or aiding in community events for the displaced orphaned children, Allam's character and conviction shines through.

Here are Allam's own words:

"Life is very difficult and expensive in Gaza, and we are close to death. Every donation will help relieve our pain."

All donations will be collected by me and personally distributed to Allam via PayPal. Donations will be used by Allam to establish himself and rebuild away from the devastation
