️️Message from Walaa Elewa, April 20, 2025:

My name is Walaa, a mother of two from Gaza. We lost our home and everything we owned due to the recent war. The destruction didn’t just take down walls—it stole our sense of safety and the life we were patiently and hopefully trying to build. All we have left is faith in the kindness of people around the world. I’m reaching out today with a sincere humanitarian plea for help in securing a dignified life for my children, providing them with basic needs like shelter, food, and medical care. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a big difference in our lives and gives us a chance to start again amid this darkness. Thank you to everyone who extends a helping hand during this difficult time.

Hello, my name is Bethany Bones and I am raising money on behalf of my dear friends, the Elewa family from Gaza. Walaa and their two small children, Karim and Kenzi, were able to evacuate to Turkey when Karim was severely injured in an airstrike that destroyed their home. Walaa is alone in Turkey with the children and needs financial support to pay for Karim’s treatment and other living expenses while he recovers.

Fady stayed in Gaza with other family members, and he was recently severely injured in another airstrike. It is a miracle that he survived and he is now in intensive care on a respirator. He needs a heart surgery that will cost $1,500.

All funds raised will be transferred to Walaa in Turkey, and she will send the money needed for surgery to Fady’s relatives in Gaza. I will be adding photos and a description here in Walaa’s own words once she is able to send them to me, but I am posting with just this information for now since Fady urgently needs medical care.

This family has been through so much, let’s work together to help them survive this latest tragedy.
