URGENT! Help Save Our Family in Gaza

I am Lauren from the U.S. and my beloved sister, Shayma, and I face an urgent challenge: Helping our cherished family survive in Gaza and extracting them from Gaza once the siege is lifted. This task is not just an ordinary challenge; it is a nightmare looming over us, requiring exorbitant costs beyond the means of an ordinary person.

Our plans were to use a company to help them exit through the Rafah crossing. Of course, this cost more than $5,000 per person and sometimes more if we need to make any required documents, not to mention various other expenses.

Now, our mission is to help our family afford food and other necessities to live. The food prices have increased so much, that it is difficult for anyone to afford.

‎‏In every war around the world, escape and survival are options, but unfortunately, in Gaza, the walls of the siege stand like prison walls, forcing everyone to face their fate in different ways. There is the indiscriminate bombing causing countless casualties, there is the oppression and fear creeping into our hearts every moment, and there is the hunger devouring our souls and dreams. So we cannot wait while witnessing all this suffering inflicted upon our family. Let your support and assistance be a ray of hope in the genocide we live in.

Your donation will be spent to save lives, and time is not on our side; every single minute matters and every single donation helps!

How will this money be used?

I have set up a donation fund through gofund me to help my sister and our family survive in Gaza until they can leave Gaza.

Once we are able to evacuate them from Gaza, it will require us to rent a house, and we will also need expenses for food, drinks, clothes, and treatment. I will send this money via Western Union.

My dear father is a heart patient, and before the war he suffered a heart attack and had open-heart surgery. My brother Amin suffers from severe back and neck pain. His neck was injured when a wall fell on him as a result of the bombing. He requires immediate surgery for his neck and his recently fractured hand to properly heal.

My family consists of my dear father, Fathi, a retired engineer. He suffers from chronic diseases. He suffers from heart disease and had open-heart surgery before the war. He is also diabetic and has high blood pressure. He is in poor health and cannot bear these harsh conditions in Gaza. My loving mother, Yasmine, is the most beautiful mother in the universe. May God protect her. She suffers from diabetes and blood pressure

Shayma’s brothers and their families:

1-My brother Ibrahim and his wife have two child, including their newborn son who was recently born in these harsh conditions

2-My brother Khaled and his wife Iman have 4 children

3-My brother Yahya and his wife Jenin have a child

4-My brother Muhammad and his wife Dalia have a child

5-My brother, Amin

Khaled is my brother’s child and suffers from a kidney disease. He is a child who cannot bear neglect in food and medicine

My brother Ibrahim is a graduate of political science, my brother Khaled is a merchant, my brother Yahya is an accountant, my brother Muhammad is a teacher, and my brother Amin is a merchant. we have degrees,we have ambitions, and each of us has a dream and a goal. I fear that this brutality and genocide will snatch them away from me before I can enjoy them and live my life near them. They are the most precious thing in my life.

They all displaced from their homes in al Qarara After the building they lived in was bombed, miraculously surviving by the grace of God.

Staying one month in a school where the situation was very bad, with overcrowded bathrooms, the spread of diseases, cultural differences among people, peak dirtiness, and a lack of basic life resources.

Then they moved to Rafah in a shelter, where they do not have the minimum necessities of life, not to mention the frighteningly high prices. Unfortunately everything took a turn for the worse and there was more horror, panic and fear as the news of the attack on Rafah began to spread, which caused us more. Out of fear, then they went to the city of Deir al-Balah, and this is our headquarters now in a shelter, where they continue to experience bombing everywhere around them.

Now it is beginning to rain in Gaza as the seasons are changing and winter is coming again…and the bitter cold for them and their children.

Please, we appeal to your humanity to stand with them.
