Urgent: Help Needed to Rescue Family from Gaza

Dear Loved Ones,

We urgently need help to rescue seven family members from the ongoing genocide in Gaza. We run a local coffee shop in the SF Mission, but we are originally from Gaza City, and recently returned from Egypt in an effort to help get some of our people out. The situation there has become very dire, with even refugee camps being bombed and the entire area under threat of famine.

With your help, we have thankfully already rescued two of our family members: our niece and nephew. Due to limited funds, many family members had to be left behind. Their father is suffering from kidney failure and needs surgery as soon as possible, and his two year old daughter broke her shoulder and neck after their apartment was hit with a missile. They are both waiting at Rafah along with the rest of their family for funds to transport them over the border into Egypt.

It currently costs somewhere between $5,000-$10,000 for each person trying to leave Gaza. This financial burden is too much for us to bear alone, which is why we are reaching out and asking for help from our community.

The funds we receive will be specifically used to cover expenses such as transportation, legal documentation, accommodation, and other associated costs that will be incurred during their rescue and relocation.

Thank you so much for the help, we are very grateful,

Lamea Elsaedi
