Hello, my name is Jay and I created this GoFundMe for my friend in Gaza, Yasser Mohammed Al-Khalil. Yasser is only 15 years old and is doing everything he can to support his mother, who is currently battling breast cancer. With the ongoing genocide, access to medicine has become extremely difficult and the prices are unbearably high.

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference in helping them afford the treatment and support Yasser’s mother urgently needs. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help spread the word.

Second edit (please read.)

As winter approaches, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Yasser to afford medication and keep himself and his mother warm. He also needs money for a tent. I have been sending him funds periodically via PayPal, which have been spent on his mother’s medication, food, and other essentials for survival.

Please continue to donate, as these funds are not enough for Yasser and his mother’s basic needs, especially during the winter. Remember that Yasser is only a child doing his best. His mother is the only family he has, and he needs all the support he can get.

If you can, please consider donating. If you are unable to donate, sharing the link is also a great way to help. Thank you for your kindness and support.

If you would also like to support larger, trusted humanitarian organizations working in Gaza, here are a few options:

• Project HOPE — delivering medical supplies and treatment

• Anera — providing food, medicine, and hygiene items

• International Rescue Committee (IRC) — clean water, sanitation, and protection for families

• CARE — emergency relief, shelter materials, and mental health support

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

edit: I'm a friend in the U.S. helping a friend in Gaza who is in urgent need. They don't have access to platforms like GoFundMe themselves, so I'm raising funds on their behalf. All money raised will go directly to them to cover essential needs like food, medicine, and daily living expenses.
