Urgent Humanitarian Appeal: Help Save My Family from Gaza Dear Friends and Kind Supporters, My name is Mohammed, and I currently live in the United Kingdom. I am reaching out today with hope in my heart and an urgent plea for help on behalf of my family, who remain trapped in Gaza under extremely difficult humanitarian conditions. After losing their home due to the war, my mother, sister, and brother are now living in an unsafe tent, struggling every day to meet their most basic needs and find a sense of security. I have launched this fundraiser with a goal of £60,000 to help them reach safety, secure urgent medical treatment for my mother, and give them a chance to rebuild their lives and future. My Mother: From Helping Others to Needing Help Herself My mother dedicated many years of her life to supporting children and families affected by war, trauma, and psychological distress. Throughout the current conflict, she continued providing emotional and psychological support to children who had lost their homes, loved ones, and sense of safety. While helping others cope with fear, displacement, and loss, her own health was quietly deteriorating. Continuous exposure to dust, smoke, and polluted air caused by bombardment and destruction has severely affected her respiratory system and caused significant damage to her lungs. She urgently needs specialized medical evaluation, treatment, and ongoing care that are currently unavailable in Gaza. Today, the woman who spent her life helping others is the one in need of help. Lina: A Future Doctor at Risk of Losing Her Dream My sister Lina is 18 years old and achieved an outstanding 98.3% score in her high school examinations. Her dream has always been to study medicine and dedicate her life to helping others. Instead of beginning her medical education, she now finds herself living in a tent after losing her home to the war, with her academic future hanging in the balance. With your support, she can continue her education and pursue the dream she has worked so hard to achieve. Ayman: A Childhood Replaced by Responsibility My brother Ayman is only 16 years old. At an age when he should be focused on school, friendships, and building his future, he now spends his days searching for water, food, and essential supplies to help our family survive under extremely dangerous and challenging conditions. Displaced After Losing Our Home My family has not only lost their sense of security—they have lost their home. Today, they live in an unsafe tent, exposed to harsh weather, difficult health conditions, insecurity, and constant uncertainty. What was once a stable family life has become a daily struggle for survival. How the £60,000 Will Be Used 1. Evacuation, Coordination, and Travel Costs – £30,000 Evacuation and border-crossing coordination fees. Travel and transportation expenses to Egypt. Required documentation and administrative procedures. 2. Urgent Medical Treatment for My Mother – £12,000 Specialized respiratory and pulmonary care. Medical examinations, imaging, and diagnostic assessments. Medication, treatment, and follow-up care. 3. Lina’s University Education – £10,000 University tuition and registration fees. Educational materials and academic expenses. Support to continue her medical studies. 4. Temporary Housing and Basic Living Expenses – £8,000 Safe temporary accommodation. Essential household items and furnishings. Basic living expenses during the first months of resettlement. Transparency I am committed to complete transparency. Supporting documents, including my mother's medical reports and Lina's certified high school certificate confirming her 98.3% achievement, will be provided to verify our family's circumstances. How You Can Help Every donation, no matter how small, brings my family one step closer to safety, medical care, and stability. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign with friends, family, and your community can make a tremendous difference. Your support can help my mother receive the treatment she urgently needs, allow Lina to continue her journey toward becoming a doctor, and give my family a genuine opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion, generosity, and support. Mohammed and Family
