My name is Ayah Darabeih, and I live in London, United Kingdom.
I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my sister, Alaa Abu Alaish (formerly Alaa Darabeih), who is currently in Gaza City, Gaza Strip, Palestine.
Since October 2023, my sister and her family have lost their home. Her husband, Youssef, also lost the small business he built over more than 15 years of hard work. Alaa is a mother of four children, Mira, Saed, Samer, and Ali. They are currently displaced without stable income or permanent shelter. I am raising funds to help my sister and her family rebuild their lives and restore stability and dignity. The funds will be used for:
 * Emergency food and clean drinking water.
* Temporary shelter or rental costs.
* Clothing and basic living essentials.
* Medical and psychological support for the children.
* Supporting Youssef in restarting his small business.
* Saving toward rebuilding or securing safe housing for the family.
* Educational needs for the children.

Financial Transparency and Fund Transfers This campaign is organized and managed by me, Ayah Darabeih, from the United Kingdom. All funds will be withdrawn by me and transferred directly to my sister, Alaa Abu Alaish (formerly Alaa Darabeih), in Gaza using licensed money transfer services such as Western Union and MoneyGram, depending on availability.

I am committed to providing updates to donors about how the funds are being used to support the family’s essential needs.

Our goal is simple: to help a mother and her four children secure food, shelter, education, and a chance to rebuild their future with dignity and hope. Every contribution, no matter the amount, brings them one step closer to stability.
 Thank you for standing with our family during this difficult time.
