Help evacuate my family from the warzone

Donation protected
I reach out today with a heavy heart, asking for your help during this time of urgent need. 
My name is Wafaa Al-Ashi, and I work in a day care from my home in Canada .

This way I support my family in Gaza during their ordeal, which they have been going through for 17 years.
 The severity has increased with the war currently taking place in Gaza and the genocide that is taking place against our families in Gaza. 
Now, I'm on a different kind of mission: securing a safe future for my family in the chaos that surrounds them The financial burden of moving my family around the world is enormous. Not only are we faced with visa and travel costs, we are also faced with the daunting task of helping them rebuild their lives from scratch in a new country, which included, ensuring quality education for the children. 


Our home, once filled with laughter and love, now bears the scars of war. Ruins, erasing years of hard work and dreams In the midst of this devastation, 

my family consists of 6 people, my father, my mother, my little brother, his wife, 

and his 2 children ‏In the midst of this devastation, my family stands, each with their own stories and hopes for the future.
 
My father Nayef, 76 years old, fought for us, all his life. 
My mother, Rifqa, 73 years old, has been my father’s right hand man over the past years of struggle and success. 
My siblings and their children are now looking to them for guidance and hope as they face their most difficult challenge yet ‏One of the particularly painful consequences of the ongoing war was the disruption of education for the children in our family and the lack of the means of health care it requires for the elderly, like my father, who had open heart surgery in the past, and needs regular care. He also suffers from diabetes and continues to take the insulin and heart medication he needs on a regular basis, now and after this happened. My Family  received Codes  from immigration Canada The opportunity to move to Canada represents more than just safety. It is an opportunity for them and the young minds to return to their studies, grow and explore their potential in a stable environment, something that has been painfully out of reach here. It also gives my father the opportunity to live safely without waiting every minute for death ‏Nayef, my father, is 76 years old ‏My mother accompanied him for 73 years ‏My brother Abdullah, 36 years old ‏My brother’s wife, Aya Qais, 4 years old, Muhammad, 9 years old ‏The urgency of our situation cannot be overstated. With tensions rising and the threat of further escalation in Rafah looming, I am desperate to move my family to safety before it is too late. This call for help is not made lightly; It is a call for mercy and help in our time of greatest need. ‏Your support will enable us to cover the basic costs of our journey and resettlement. It's not just a donation, it's a lifeline, offering them a chance at a new life away from fear and uncertainty. It's an investment in their children's future, providing them with the educational opportunities they desperately need and deserve. ‏Travel and application expenses not covered by the Canadian government: ‏- Notary public and translation fees for the required documents ‏- Application fee for 6 people ($100 per person, total $600) ‏- Accommodation in Cairo for 3-4 weeks while awaiting papers (estimated at $1,000) ‏- Biometrics fee in Cairo (mandatory for adults) ($170 4x ‏- Flight tickets for 6 people from Cairo to Toronto (estimated at 1,500 US dollars per person, for a total of 9,000 US dollars) ‏Settlement expenses (for the first 3 months until they can work): ‏- Rent (three houses or apartments, some family accommodation already in place) (estimated at $2,000 per house per month. ‏- Daily living expenses (estimates $2,000 per month). ‏Ya Hala Travel Agency to get them out of Gaza. (Estimate $30,000) ‏This is a call to action for anyone who believes in the power of humanity to change lives. With your help, we can offer my family a future full of hope, security, and the opportunity to rebuild in a place where peace is not just a dream, but a reality, and where education and personal development are accessible to all. ‏Please consider contributing to our case. Together, we can turn the tide for my family, turning despair into hope and tragedy into a new beginning. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any support you can provide.
