Urgent Help for Wael And His Family Living in Gaza

HELP WAEL (19y) AND HIS EXTENDED FAMILY OF 12 (including a 2 week old little baby girl) SURVIVE IN GAZA WITH A QUICK DONATION OR SHARE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY SAVE THEIR LIVES!

Hello to you, fellow kind person :) Thank you so much for being here. Your act of empathy means the world to us.

I am Iasmina, a student trying to urgently raise funds for Wael Jabal Rajab Tamraz, 19 years old, and his family who have been enduring horrible, increasingle difficult times in Gaza ever since October 7th. This includes enormous periods of not having eaten, forced displacements and kilometers long of walks, terrifying proximity to bombings, ills and diseases without proper treatment or conditions to rest.

Wael's family is composed of 12 members which include his parents, siblings, and his sister's spouse and children, among whom a beautiful girl who was born just recently. Since I've known him, Wael has been wounded in several instances by airstrikes and bombings. Earlier in his life, he even had his hand severely wounded. Despite this, he has been filming himself almost everyday on social media in order to raise donations and make people aware of his family's condition in Gaza.

Your donation can help Wael support his family and access goods such as medicine (e.g. for his mother's diabetes) but mainly FOOD.

PRICES FOR FOOD are not what you would expect! Not only is it SCARCE, but the prices can be even x100 times more than normal. The donations we get are also submitted to a comission through all the transactions we do to reach Wael.

EMOTIONAL VALUE: Talking with Wael almost everyday made me realise that your donations are not just money that he receives, but a living proof that his life and story is not forgotten. THEY ARE A REASON TO KEEP GOING, TO MAINTAIN HOPE. Long periods without donations are tough to handle not just financially, but also emotionally.

The most pressing need is to help Wael and his family survive the current situation, so the money donated during the closure of the crossings and the resale of aid at higher prices will go directly to daily survival needs and medication. Once the crossings reopen, Wael and his family hope to be able to evacuate. At a cost of between $5,000 and $7,000 per person, this is a very large sum of money that they will need to save to evacuate the entire family. Wael hopes that at that point he will also be able to raise money to complete his studies and rebuild his life. All funds will be transferred to Wael via international bank transfer.

I met Wael through Instagram a few months ago, at a time when he was struggling to recover the funds from his GoFundMe campaign. Unfortunately, Wael and I were unable to reach the organizer of his original campaign to help him recover the account and funds raised there. Therefore, we decided to launch this new campaign in the hopes of raising those funds again, sharing Wael’s story more widely, and keeping donors updated on Wael and his family’s well-being.

Me and Wael communicate constantly, through text but sometimes short videocalls, for instance on our birthdays or when his family wishes to see me and vice versa :)

We truly appreciate your support in our efforts to help Wael and his family. Please consider donating or participating in our campaign, and we welcome you to reach out to me if you have any questions!

''My name is Wael, and I'm from Gaza, Palestine. Until the 7th of October 2023, my world revolved around studying for high school and dreaming of becoming an engineer at the university. Then, war tore through Gaza. I watched in horror as bombs destroyed schools and universities, including the one where I hoped to study. My own education was cut short, and my family's home was lost in the bombings.

Despite these hardships, I haven't given up on my dreams. That's why I'm reaching out for your help. I need to evacuate my family from the dangers of war and continue my education. With your support, I can rebuild my future and achieve my ambitions.''
