<div><strong>SEPTEMBER 2025 UPDATE: </strong>
</div>
<div>Dear friends, with your help we were able to raise funds to pay evacuation fees for Sami and Intisar— an amazing achievement! But just as we reached our goal, the borders were shut, trapping Sami and his mom in Gaza. Even more tragically, although they requested a refund from the evacuation company, they still have not returned the funds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The occupation has imposed a total blockade on Gaza since March, allowing no aid, food, or medicine to enter the region. What is available is being sold at extremely high prices.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Currently, Sami and Intisar are being forcefully displaced yet again. Sami and Intisar need our help to in order to make this move and secure basic food and shelter. The cost of a tent is currently around $1,000, and transportation could be anywhere between $600–$1,000. To rent a piece of land to place the tent on, will be minimum $500 per month.
</div>

</div>
<div>We appeal to you, if you’ve been with us this far, stay with us and don’t give up!

<div>Imagine a life where your simplest dream is to experience normalcy – this is the harsh reality for our friend Sami, who was born in the tumultuous Gaza Strip. Unlike many of us who have the privilege of a peaceful childhood and the joy of carefree youth, Sami's life has been a relentless witness to the horrors of war. Despite facing the wrath of continual conflict and living under the shadow of relentless assaults, Sami held on to his dreams. A graduate in engineering, he was building a life until the unspeakable happened.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On October 7th, everything changed. The devastating wave of violence swept through Gaza, leaving Sami with nothing but ruins. His home was obliterated, his cherished job lost, and his life savings, earmarked for a modest evacuation in Egypt, were nearly drained.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amidst this chaos, Sami and his mother faced the harrowing ordeal of evacuating seven times. Each time they sought refuge in a new shelter, hoping for safety, they were compelled to evacuate again due to relentless bombings. Their evacuations were marked by waving white flags, leaving behind all their possessions. Consequently, they had to repurchase their essentials at inflated prices, adding to the challenges they faced.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In one instance, they sought shelter in a location surrounded by tanks for nine days. Tragically, during their stay, the neighboring building was bombed on the fourth day, resulting in the collapse of the apartments above them. The aftermath exposed them to the distressing sight of lifeless bodies amid the rubble. The night was spent grappling with the intimidating task of recovering the deceased from beneath the wreckage, leaving them with indelible memories of the horrors witnessed during those tumultuous times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, we reach out to you with a plea that transcends borders and speaks to the core of our humanity. We are mobilizing this fundraiser with the sole purpose of rescuing Sami and his mother from the precipice of death.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As friends of Sami, we've shared laughter and dreams with him. We've seen his resilience in the face of adversity and his unwavering spirit amidst chaos. He's more than a statistic in the ongoing tragedy of Gaza; he's a son, a dreamer, and a beacon of hope for his mother. This campaign is not just about providing financial support; it's about extending a hand of solidarity, showing that in a world fraught with conflict, humanity still shines through.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contributions will have a profound impact and will be allocated as follows:
</div>
<div>Safe Passage from Gaza to Egypt:
</div>
<div>Cost: $5000 per person, $10,000 in total for two people.
</div>
<div>Purpose: Covering the expenses of safe travel from the war-torn Gaza Strip to Egypt.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By contributing to this cause, you're not just donating; you're becoming a part of Sami's journey to safety and a new life. You're giving him the chance to turn his simple dream into reality, and more importantly, you're giving him and his mother something invaluable – hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any support you can provide. Every bit helps, and together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of Sami and his mother.
