Hi. Our names are Safa, Yasmine and Saleem and we are Palestinian Americans seeking URGENT assistance to help our sisters and their families in Gaza.

Since October 7th we have lost countless family members as well as our home and land that has belonged to our family for generations. Our father was born in 1949 (1 year after the Nakba) in Gaza but left when he was 17 due to the occupation. Due to the dangers surrounding the occupation we have never been able to meet our sisters, nieces and nephews but hope to one day.

Our family had been sheltering at Khan Yunis University but had to leave because the school was bombed. This bombing resulted in another martyr in our family. One of our sisters has a heart condition and has gone two weeks without her medication. Our family has no food or water. PLEASE HELP US HELP THEM!

We are raising funds to help with access to food, water, housing, medicine etc. The funds will also be used to rebuild our now destroyed family home in Gaza.
