</div>

<div>I live in Gaza City , 21 years old،Dear friends, and compassionate supporters,

</div>

<div>I reach out to you today with a heavy heart and a request for help. This fundraising initiative aims to provide essential aid and evacuation assistance to myself and my family. I and my family are currently trapped in Gaza, a place torn apart by conflict and suffering. We face unimaginable hardships and danger on a daily basis, and I fear for my life and the lives of my family as violence and instability continue to escalate around me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The situation in Gaza has become increasingly dire, with continuing conflict, economic instability and limited access to basic necessities. Tragedy has struck for myself and my extended family. We left the impact of the nearby explosions and were displaced twice from one place to another, and we moved each time in search of a safe place. But there was no safe place in Gaza. They claim that there are some safe places, but they lie, and the continuous bombing still threatens our lives, which leads to hunger. and collective trauma and disease. The situation has become unbearable, and I can no longer stay in Gaza without risking my safety and the safety of my family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My family and I tried to find a safe place to live

</div>

<div>Unfortunately, all the places were under Israeli bombing, and no place was safe. We decided to set up a tent in Deir al-Balah to take shelter from bomb fire, the heat of the day, and the cold of the night. But life there was very difficult due to severe pollution and lack of water. After that stage, we decided to move to my mother's brother's house. Which was housing more than 70 displaced people from different places

<div>I am Jason Silver from Illinois, I am making this campaign to help the brother of my friend Wissam Al-Najjar, that is his brother Ziad Al-Najjar. He is in stuck on the Egyptian side of the Rafah Border, and is homeless with psoriasis. 

</div>

<div>"But I want you, my dear friend, to create a campaign for my brother Ziad, who suffers from chronic psoriasis and is unable to work. His circumstances are very difficult, and his story is sad. My father died and left him alone when he was young, and my mother traveled and left him alone."

</div>

<div>"I ask you, my friend Jason, to help me for my brother Ziad."

</div>

<div>"My brother suffers from chronic psoriasis and his circumstances are very, very dire in Egypt. He is stuck on the Egyptian side and sleeps in the street because he does not have the money to rent a house."

Urgent Help for Ziad Al-Najjar's Dire Situation

<div>I'm raising funds for Fatimah &amp; Roba to escape Gaza. Here is her story:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I‏ am Fatima, I live in Gaza. I used to live a beautiful and happy life. Everything was available and available at reasonable prices. This year was my last academic year in school, and then I was going to join the university, but the war destroyed everything and everything turned upside down. I had an ambition to study nursing at the university, but Even universities and schools were not spared from these massacres and bombings. I graduated from the university two years ago and was working in the field of teaching, and I obtained the Azizi courses in some centers. I was also living a beautiful life, but the war came and everything ended and faded away. We write our story to you and we hope that you will help us start our ‏lives from scratch new
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will tell you my story because I want to travel and complete the last year of school, that is, in school, enroll in university, and achieve my dream of studying, and this is my right, like any person living in this world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‏I reach out to you with humility and a deep sense of gratitude, and I hope you will empathize with your beacon of lens in our darkest hours. Please consider donating to my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‏Thank you for taking the time to listen to our appeal, and for any support you can provide. with respect,
</div>
<div>Fatimah &amp; Roba.

Help Fatimah & Roba Rebuild Their Lives

<div>Hi, my name is Nuno Silva, I'm a Portuguese living in The Netherlands and I'm starting this fundraiser on behalf of my 18 year old friend Moatasem Nattat and his family of 10 people. They are struggling to provide enough food, water and medicine for everyone in the family, including his little brother, who's been having a hard time with skin rash and the scorching heat.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello, I'm Moatasem, we used to live in eastern Deir al-Balah before October 7. We worked in the construction sector, which was our family business, and life was pretty good. Our family consists of my parents and 8 children, four boys and four girls with ages between 5 and 30.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/82794245_172661544059182_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After October 7 our world turned upside down. We had to leave our house and flee to a safer area. We lost our house and all the construction equipment and tools. Our life has been very difficult. Everything is lost and now we cannot work. We have been struggling to get proper food, water, shelter and also medication to help my little brother Muhammad, who has been suffering a lot from the intense heat and skin rashes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/82794245_1726615533356164_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need all the financial help we can get to survive this terrible situation, please, any amount is welcome. We need the money to buy healthy food, which is still very expensive, water and medical assistance. Winter is coming and we need warm clothing and a warm shelter. Some of us are still studying and even though most of the schools and all universities have been destroyed, we would like to continue our education and eventually study Computer Engineering, for that we also need additional funding.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please, show us your humanity and help us. Big or small, your contribution goes a long way!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The donations will be transferred weekly to one of Moatasem's brother's bank account.
</div>
<div><br />

Help Moatasem and his Family in Gaza Survive this Brutal War

<div>Hi there friends and kind people of the world, my name is Gigi, I live in Sacramento California. Mother of 3, hairstylist. I am just a regular person and I am trying to help the people in Gaza as much as I can. This will be my 4th gofundme that I have helped start. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hala came to me on Instagram asking me to help her. She doesn’t know anyone anywhere that can help her. This is the 5th time I am attempting to launch her gofundme. I had to use my husbands email to help. Gofundme goes through a vigourous process to vet people to make sure it is not a scam, I am glad they do that. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help as much as you can, share, donate, amplify. Just sharing is a donation. Gofundme takes any amount from $5 and up, and from that amount, they take .45, Hala will get $4.55 from that. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hala: I hope this message finds you well and warm
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Hala,  I am Palestinian from Gaza strip the depth of the war.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am married and a mother to three children, Selena, Adam, and Yazan. Selena is four years old and Adam is two years old and Yazan is 6 months old. He was born in the first month of the war. My children lacked the most basic necessities of life, such as healthy food, clean water, milk, and Pampers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since the beginning of this war 220 days ago, my family has been living in fear, struggle, humiliation, and hunger. They live under constant bombardment and air strikes all the time, and people are being killed everywhere. Our home have been damaged and uninhabitable
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I can’t explain to you how awful is the tank’s bombs and the clashes, Gaza is a very small place, nowhere to run.
</div>
<div> I am reaching out for asylum in Europe for my family. For the family to get out of Gaza we need to pay 15,000$ to reach Egypt and another 15,000$ to reach Europe and sign for the asylum, you can ask me about the money and how they will be spent exactly and I will be more tgan happy to answer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am reaching out to you with humility and a deep sense of gratitude, hopeful that your compassion will serve as a beacon of light in our darkest hours. Please consider making a donation to my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Thank you for taking the time to hear our plea, and for any support you can provide. With sincere appreciation

<div>Before the war, we were comfortable and we did not ask anyone for help. The war went on for a long time, and nothing remained our solution, and I have three children who do not know the word, “they don’t need it.” Their needs are like milk. I can’t cut it off from him and give him anything instead, and it has become expensive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My house is damaged. There are no necessities for life. I swear to you that I do not lie in any word. The water barrels in my house were damaged by bullets. Myself and all my wishes are to return to my life and return to my home. We are tired.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are tired of life. The country has a lot of food, but it is very expensive. It is very rare to see anyone buying it. People’s situation is very difficult.

Help Haneen Ahmed’s family evacuate: A new life

<div>November 2024:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have a very important update that I am putting to the top of this description. I'll give a lot more details in an update post. <strong>Suwaibou needs back surgery. </strong>In 2023, he took a perilous journey across Northern Africa to try to get to Italy, as many from The Gambia do because of widespread poverty, limited job opportunities, and low income levels. The journey, which lasted 7 months and with incredibly harrowing experiences, resulted in a fall that Suwaibou took from a mountainside in Algeria, and he injured his back. For the past several months, the back pain was manageable and Suwaibou thought it would get better. But now he has been to a couple of doctors who all agree that surgery is needed. The surgery will cost around $2,500, so I have added this amount to the fundraising goal. <strong><em>Time is of the essence with this, because Suwaibou is in constant pain with this injury. We really need your help quickly and efficiently.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Please help with this latest need of Suwaibou through sharing, donating, and encouraging Suwaibou.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will put more information in an update, so be looking for it.
</div>
<div>~Karin
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Karin and I am a 56 year old mother in Boulder, Colorado. I had the opportunity to connect with a young man living in The Gambia, which is an impoverished small country in West Africa. While rich in beauty and warm people, The Gambia is one of the most materially needy places on the planet. According to the World Bank the urban settlement of Brikama (the location of the person these funds are going to) is "home to 307,501 poor people or 48% of the poor, the highest number of poor people in the country." (<a href="https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/africacan/poverty-trends-gambia-tale-two-crises" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Source</a>)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am fundraising for Suwaibou Ceesay, 20 years old, who became the caretaker and breadwinner for his three younger siblings in 2018 when he was only 14 years old. In 2017 his mother passed away from complications due to untreated high blood pressure. In 2018, his father succumbed to age and stress as well. This left Suwaibou to take care of his sisters (10 and 7 at the time, now 16 and 13) and a little brother (who was 5 when his father died and now is 11).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80428613_1717028438180128_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is Suwaibou.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Suwaibou has struggled to keep his family fed and safely housed. The children need to go to school and Suwaibou wants to finish his education, too. They need money for back and current rent, funds for regular food, and also for education. Rent costs around $90 a month -- a year of rent is $1,080. The school fees for one child add up (there is technically no tuition in The Gambia, and education is free, but there are school uniforms, books, and supplies that have to be purchased and many cannot afford these things [<a href="https://www.gambiarising.org/education-in-the-gambia.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Source</a> ]). It's about $300 per year for each child to go to school. Food is not expensive by U.S. standards, but it adds up and keeping children fed is not easy when there are not ways to make a good income due to lack of education and jobs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know that there are scammers in The Gambia, but I have already given money to Suwaibou through a grocery app (groceries were delivered and he showed the delivery to me). I supplied mosquito nets and beds, and he showed me what was purchased as well. We have had video calls and he is who he says he is. Suwaibou has a great track record of being honest about the things he has needed and which I have helped with. I have also purchased some clothing for his sisters, and he was kind enough to send photos of them wearing the clothes he got for them with money I sent. Suwaibou is resourceful and is doing as best he can to care for his sisters and brother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, I am at the end of my ability to keep assisting alone. I can't give more than I have already as I also have to pay my own bills and I'm supporting family members and a medical student in Egypt as well. I said that I would set up a GoFundMe for Suwaibou so he can fundraise and what he raises I am able to send to him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will ask Suwaibou to provide updates about what he is able to do with the funds he raises here, and I will share them. The main concern is to help Suwaibou and the children with their education because escaping the trap of poverty in The Gambia can come through better education. Most employment comes through agriculture, but tourism is a growing area of employment in The Gambia [<a href="https://visitworld.today/blog/1045/work-and-employment-in-the-gambia-work-visa-for-foreigners" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Source</a>]. Education is a hope to better things.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help Suwaibou escape the cycle of poverty and secure a better future for himself and his siblings.
</div>

Support Suwaibou's Fight Against Poverty (UPDATE!)

<div>Hello there friends, my name is Said and I am organizing this campaign on behalf of my cousin, Fatema Alhayek. I would like to assure all donors that 100% of the funds raised will go directly to Fatema’s family. Fatema will receive funds by direct bank transfer. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“I am Fatema Alhayek from the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza. I am a mother of four beautiful kids, with a 5th on the way. Mohamed (7), Amal (3), Said (2), and Yousef who was born on October 6, 2023. He is nearly 9 months old. 
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>From left to right: Amal (3), Mahmoud, Said (2), Fatima, Yousef (~9months) and Mohamed (7)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I used to work as an educational supervisor at Meera Kindergarten. My husband, Mahmoud, worked as a Pharmacist - serving our people and providing them care. We used to enjoy life! Our children enjoyed school, and our daughter Amal loved her dolls. Like all families in Gaza, our peaceful lives have been destroyed. We have been uprooted. We have been displaced 8+ times. Everything has changed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the fifth day of the war shrapnel fell on us like rain. I was feeding Yousef, who was only days old, while Mahmoud and I held our children closely – trying to provide them with some sense of safety – an incendiary shell hit our apartment, destroying our safe haven in the blink of an eye. The fire that swept through left only charred memories and shattered hopes behind.

<div>Alhayek family home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Driven by desperation and fear, we fled - searching for safety and shelter. We have moved from one place to another - first to my father’s in <strong>Eastern Gaza</strong>, and when he was seriously injured we fled to have him treated in the <strong>Indonesian Hospital</strong>. The Israeli occupation besieged us and bombed the entrance to the hospital and the operating room. Random shells of death were upon us, and we miraculously survived. Through coordination of the Red Cross to evacuate the injured and their companions in the middle of the night, my family arrived at the <strong>European Hospital east of Rafah</strong>. We then sought refuge at <strong>Nuseirat camp</strong> in central Gaza, and then to Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, where my two-year-old son, Said, suffered a thigh and foot fracture. After that, we went to the <strong>city of Rafah</strong> and were displaced once more to the city of <strong>Deir al-Balah</strong>. We have suffered various wounds - a three-year-old girl, our daughter Amal, suffered a fracture in her shoulder and hand. Though the physical pains continue to add to the psychological trauma, Mahoud and I have been numb to all emotion except the daily fear to keep our children safe.

<div>I am Jason Silver, and I am raising funds for the family of Wissam Al-Najjar, who came to me for help. Help Wissam Al-Najjar's family from hunger and donate to them for a decent life. One dollar helps the child Saadi to stay safe.
</div>
<div>"I am very happy in your friendship. I am Wissam Al-Najjar from 'azza."
</div>
<div>"I now live on the street due to the forced displacement from my town under the bombing. We left everything behind."
</div>
<div>"The occupation have destroyed everything for us. There is no house left to shelter us or a tent to protect us from the heat of the sun or the danger of stray dogs. I want help for a better life for my family."
</div>
<div>"I want to do this work, my friend, please, for the sake of my little one, my son, Saadi"
</div>
<div>"They destroyed my home and my home is located within the buffer zone, so I cannot return to my land even after the war. For the sake of that innocent child who has no fault, create an account for me, please"

Support Wissam Al-Najjar's Family in Crisis

<div>Hello friends, my name is Tahani. I am 30 years old. I live in Gaza in Deir al-Balah camp. I graduated from university with a major in child education. I reach out to you today with a heavy heart and a request for help. This fundraising initiative aims to provide essential aid and evacuation assistance to myself and my family. I and my family are currently trapped in Gaza, a place torn apart by conflict and suffering. We face unimaginable hardships and danger on a daily basis, and I fear for my life and the lives of my family as violence and instability continue to escalate around me
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The situation in Gaza has become increasingly dire, with continuing conflict, economic instability and limited access to basic necessities. Tragedy has struck for myself and my extended family. We left the impact of the nearby explosions and were displaced twice from one place to another, and we moved each time in search of a safe place. But there was no safe place in Gaza. They claim that there are some safe places, but they lie, and the continuous bombing still threatens our lives, which leads to hunger. and collective trauma and disease. The situation has become unbearable, and I can no longer stay in Gaza without risking my safety and the safety of my family
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Note from the organizer*  My name is Kristen. I am an actress and educator living in New York City. I am raising money for Tahani and her family. Almost everyone in Gaza has lost  their homes, all of their possessions and livelihoods.  A small pack of water can cost $50 or more.  Evacuation fee's cost anywhere from $5,000-$10,000 per person.  Tents can cost $3,000, and basic medicine and food costs are astronomical.  Everyone has some sort of illness or injury, and everyone is starving.  Please do what you can to help this family.

Help Tahani's Family Find Safety

Karin Bates

<div>Hello -
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Karin and I am a mom and nonprofit educator located in Colorado. For more than a year, I have been helping Awad with his GoFundMe account. At first, he was the organizer of the fundraiser and it showed I was the beneficiary, which was the opposite of the reality. Thanks to the helpful GoFundMe team, I am now showing up as the organizer with Awad as the beneficiary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your help, we were able to help Awad get through the study portion of medical school, the first 5 years. The program is a total of 7 years, however, and there are 2 more years of practicum: it's the internship portion of study and requires $12,000 in tuition and fees for those 2 years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As of April 2025, I have put the first $6,000 on my credit cards and borrowed money from a friend, but we need to raise the next $6,000 as soon as possible, ideally by May 2025. I am looking at cashing in some retirement (if I can even do so) but it won't cover all of the $6,000 because of early withdrawal penalties and taxes (I will be taking a loss).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition, Awad requires around $500 per month for the next two years to help with rent, food, supplies for his internship, and other expenses. Myself and a couple of my friends help pay for about half of this per month, but I could use help with this as my debt payments are increasing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Why don't his parents or other individuals pay for this? Why can't he get a job?</em> One answer for both: neither option is possible. You can read Awad's story and the updates I have posted to understand more about his situation. He is not able to be legally employed in Egypt and there are few jobs on the side, not to mention he is working 12-hour shifts in hospitals and clinics right now as he does his internship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In January 2025, after Awad's graduation from the study portion of medical school, I was able to visit him in Egypt and know more about his situation (see updates). This is a legitimate fundraiser, I have receipts for all that has been sent to him so far, and I can verify anything you need to share the importance of helping Awad finish. He's a great person, and really could use help to have a future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Will you please join me in helping this young man find a foundation under his feet, when everything else has been taken from him?</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here is Awad's story:</strong>
</div>
<div>I am Awad, 24-year-old P----tinian young man from the G--- Strip [Eastern Mediterranean area; certain terms are flagged ~<em>K.B.</em>] residing in Egypt since 2018. I consider myself an ambitious person who dreams and dreams. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters. After experiencing five w-rs that required military escalations, this difficult expansion contributed to refining my character. Despite the financial difficulties I have faced during my 17 years in G---, I have persevered and continued to achieve my educational goals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I completed my secondary education, which qualified me to join the Zagazig University Faculty of Human Medicine, the faculty I dreamed of since my childhood, where everyone called me a family doctor. I traveled to Egypt and enrolled in a university specializing in Human Medicine, and I am now in the fifth year of my academic program [written in 2024 ~<em>K.B.</em>]. The past several years were extraordinarily difficult among the members of the university, and in these days of constantly seeing and experiencing the situation in G---, in light of... w-r and g---cide. So much of what we had has been destroyed -- our home and the neighborhood in which we grew up is gone and now there is no food nor water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have not been in contact with it for a long time, and the economic situation did not allow me to pay for the rest of my university expenses, as the average academic year is $6,000, and I have 3 years remaining (almost 1 year of school and 2 years of internship) and the living expenses that have been saved, as I now have no breadwinner and no financial support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During the fierce w-r, my family moved between six different areas of danger. Now, they simply find themselves in southern G---, staying in shelters under non-functional conditions, especially with the harsh weather. [Update: They returned to the north in February, but conditions there now are even worse.] It is unfortunate that the direct attack by aircraft is counted as a number of times specified by a number of controls, and others are injured, and some of them go out to receive treatment in many countries, and we have lost everything we can of material, psychological and physical resources.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/77939865_1706486815173476_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/77939865_1706486833497150_r." width="100%" />
<div>We lost our home and the warm embrace of our family. We lost memories and everything, <strong>but we have not lost hope.</strong> We will restore everything and we will continue the journey because we believe in our rights and our thoughts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/77939865_1706486870236292_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hope with your help it will come true.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This will raise money to help stop my debts and give me stability in Egypt as the w-r stripped me of everything. I appreciate you all. I hope to thank you for your efforts. Thank you all.
</div>
