Helping my family in Gaza

My name is Dr. Shady Awad from Gaza (Palestine), I´m a doctor , I am writing this after lots of thoughts and hesitation. But the urgency and need to rescue my family is greater than my resilience. I am desperately seeking your generous support to help me evacuate my family (my wife and 6 children) from Gaza.

I worked in Al-Shifa Hospital as a mergency doctor and I was among the last ones to evacuate it, I’ve been volunteering in the different remaining hospitals since then in Khan Yunis and Rafah. I am dedicated to stay here and save lives in Gaza, but now I’ve come to a point where I’m desperate and I URGENTLY and humbly ask you to help me save my family’s life by getting them out of Gaza since there’s no SAFE place in Gaza due to slow deaths by hunger, dehydration, displacement, the spreading of illnesses and and the ongoing bombings. Choosing to leave is a very painful decision to make, but the situation has become untenable.

on October 7, the escalation of hostilities and subsequent Israeli military directives forced my family and me into multiple relocations, resulting in the loss of our home and displacement from the north to the south of Gaza. Each move has been marked by life-threatening experiences and heart-wrenching losses in our community.

Our once peaceful home has been reduced to rubble, taking away not only our shelter but also the cherished possessions and memories we held dear, including those of our. The loss is immeasurable, and the daily struggle for survival has become increasingly difficult.

We are desperately seeking financial assistance to evacuate from the dangerous situation in Gaza. Our immediate goal is to flees to a safe place for our family, away from the ongoing conflict, where we can begin the process of rebuilding our shattered lives. The funds will be used for essential needs such as temporary housing, food, medical care, and for urgent travel through the Rafah border crossing to Egypt, requiring a hefty $8,000-10000 travel fee per individual.

I am reaching out to you, dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers, to ask for your support in funding our evacuation. The funds raised will be used to cover transportation costs, temporary shelter, and basic necessities for our family until we can establish a more stable situation.

Here's a breakdown of the estimated costs:

-Passport fees: 120 euro per person (a total of 600 euro for five family members).

-Evacuation Fee/Egyptian Coordination: 8000 euro per adult person and 4000 for one child (Considering current evacuation fees and coordination expenses at the Egyptian border).

-Transportation to Rafah Crossing: 1000 euro.

Your support, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in helping us escape the cycle of violence and uncertainty. By contributing to this campaign, you are providing a lifeline for my family to rebuild, heal, and start anew.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering our plea. Your kindness and generosity will make a profound difference in our lives.

120 people from my family were killed in a number of rockets fired at a six-story house, including my sister and her children.

We still suffer a lot from the lack of possibilities for a place to live. My six children and the family still suffer from a lack of food and drink. There are few resources for food and drink. Fear and extermination against children is very great. Fear is the master of the situation. We are still in tents. My children are still deprived and homeless. Please donate for my children in order to get out of Gaza.
