Urgent Help for Mahmoud Al-Sheikh's Family in Gaza

Support for Gaza: A Call for Help in Times of Crisis

Who I am:

My name is Elvis Senka Selmanovic, and I am a 50 year-old Bosnian/American. Originally an I I grant from Bosnia. I am reaching out to you today to help a family in Gaza who is facing dire circumstances due to the ongoing conflict. The family consists of Mahmoud Al-Sheikh (29 years old), his wife Alaa Adnan Al-Sheikh (31 years old), their two young daughters Lamiya (6 years old) and Amal (2 years old), and Mahmoud’s elderly parents.

Lamiya, their 6-year-old daughter, suffers from a serious bladder infection that requires constant medical care. Amal, their 2-year-old daughter, also needs regular care, including diapers and milk. Mahmoud’s elderly parents, both in their 60s, are in poor health—his mother has diabetes and heart disease, while his father is suffering from a chest-related illness. The family is struggling to meet their basic needs, including food, medicine, and shelter, due to the ongoing war in Gaza.

Where I’m from:

This fundraising effort is in response to the devastating crisis in Gaza City, a region that is currently experiencing unimaginable destruction due to war. Many families, including the Al-Sheikh family, are without access to essential resources such as food, clean water, medicine, and shelter. As the conflict continues, the ability to provide basic care and survival needs has become nearly impossible for many families.

The individuals I seek to support:

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly to Mahmoud Al-Sheikh’s family to support their immediate needs. These include:

• Lamiya, who requires constant medical treatment for a bladder infection.

• Amal, who needs daily supplies such as diapers and milk.

• The elderly parents of Mahmoud, both of whom are in need of urgent medical care for chronic conditions.

In addition to supporting the Al-Sheikh family, your donation will also provide emergency relief to other families in Gaza who are in similar situations.

How the funds will be used:

The funds will be allocated toward:

1. Medical care for Lamiya’s bladder infection and ongoing treatment for other health concerns in the family.

2. Diapers, milk, and basic supplies for the children, Amal and Lamiya.

3. Emergency food, water, clothing, and medical supplies for the family and other families in Gaza.

4. Medical and living expenses for Mahmoud’s elderly parents, who are in urgent need of care.

How the funds will be delivered:

The funds will be transferred through secure and transparent platforms such as bank accounts or money transfer services directly to Mahmoud Al-Sheikh’s family. I will ensure that all donations are handled responsibly and transparently, to make sure they reach the intended beneficiaries and are used effectively for humanitarian purposes.

Important Reminder:

This campaign is solely for humanitarian aid. It does not involve any military or conflict-related funding, such as weapons or defensive equipment. The goal is to provide emergency relief, medical care, food, and other basic necessities to the innocent victims of this ongoing crisis, especially the most vulnerable members of society—children, the elderly, and those with medical conditions.

Please Note:

This message complies with the guidelines for transparent and ethical fundraising. Your support is essential to helping families in Gaza survive this devastating time. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in their lives.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion during this difficult time.

May God bless you for your donations

Respectfully,

Elvis Senka Selmanovic
