<div>Hello, my friends.
</div>
<div>I am Nour Al-Saadi ..from Gaza, 20 years old. I live with my family of 12 people, including 3 children. I created this link for the second time due to major issues with the first one. I managed to raise about 7,100 euros but haven't received the money yet because of these problems.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/82818025_172652379795700_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I studied for a year at the Islamic University, majoring in programming in the IT College, and I am currently in my second year. My older brother is studying human medicine in his third year at the same university. Before the war, life was beautiful – we ate, drank, slept, and studied without any trouble. But after the war, everything changed. We were displaced six times searching for safety, moving from Gaza city to Rafah, then back to Gaza city. We thought things would improve, but they only became more complicated. We then moved to my grandfather’s house, and then to Khan Younis, where we received the news that our home was destroyed. After that, we moved to Rafah again, and now we are living in Al-Zawaida, in a tent with around 10 people.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s difficult to access even the basics. The water we drink is polluted, and you have to wait in line for two hours just to get it. Food prices are extremely high, and we can't afford most of it. Winter is approaching, and we have nowhere else to go – we are at risk of dying from the cold and rain. We have been without electricity since the war started, so we can’t even use a heater to stay warm. Life is extremely hard for us.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m asking for your help. Please donate to help me rebuild my life, my family’s life, and our destroyed home, and to support my education. Help us buy essential items that we can no longer afford. Please donate so I can leave behind the fear, hunger, and destruction once the border opens. Your support would mean the world to us. Thank you!

Donate to Nour's Education and Family Relief

<div>My name is Vida Sanchez, a community member in Monterey, CA. I am fundraising on behalf of Shadi Alaydi, a loving husband and father supporting his family in central Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Below is Shadi's story:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"We desperately need funds to cover my wife's and daughter's ongoing medical treatment and living expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My home in Nuseirat refugee camp was bombed in October, killing 21 of my close family members and critically injuring my wife, Zayn, and my daughter, Rahaf. They spent several weeks in intensive care, the first two weeks of which I was kidnapped and tortured by Israeli forces, unable to support them. My two sons, Rakan and Ameer, did not survive. I have still not found my baby Rakan's (age 3) body; they tell me he may have evaporated from the heat of the rocket.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your support will help us rebuild what little remains of our lives and ensure my wife and daughter receive the medical care they urgently need.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please donate and share to help us survive this unimaginable tragedy."</strong>

Urgent Medical Aid for Shadi's Wife and Daughter

<div>UPDATE (July 2025):
</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting Hashem, Haneen and their two children! Since the previous update, Haneen has been diagnosed with a rare disease called Achalasia, which affects the esophagus and prevents food from moving properly into the stomach. She needs surgery and special treatment that is not available in Gaza, and has become weak and frail with lack of proper nutrition. Due to recent eviction orders, Haneen’s parents Mahmoud and Abeer (59, 57), and brother Mohammed (24), have come to live with them, and they are sharing food and living expenses. Though they are happy to be reunited, this also puts additional financial strain on Hashem and his family. Essential goods have become nearly impossible to find, and their prices are skyrocketing (updated cost breakdown below). Further, the withdrawal fee from the bank has increased to as high as 50%, whereas it used to be 20%. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to basic needs, they are also hoping to raise money for a small solar power system to help with laundry, lighting, and phone charging. The system is available in Gaza, using primarily secondhand equipment and materials, and purchasing all of its components will cost around €5,200. In their current situation, with electricity almost entirely unavailable and Haneen’s health deteriorating, this small system would make a big difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With all of these changes, we are hoping to raise another €47,300, increasing the goal from €19,000 to €66,300. This will help support Hashem’s family for another six months. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>~~~ END OF UPDATE ~~~
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Mohammed AlAshi and I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my friend, Hashem Humaid.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds we raise will be used to cover the needs of Hashem’s family of 7 people for the next six months. Hashem is a 37 year old man from Gaza who used to work as a web developer. He and his wife Haneen have two children: Salah, who is 11, and Sahar, who is 9.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since October, Hashem’s family has suffered repeated displacement; they lived in a tent in Rafah, and then Deir Al Balah for months, surviving under constant danger and with extremely scarce basic necessities. They were finally able to return to Gaza City after the ceasefire, but found their home destroyed and uninhabitable and most of their belongings either destroyed or stolen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They have been able to stay in Hashem’s aunt’s house, but their conditions are still dire. There is no electricity, the house is very damaged and no longer has windows, and prices continue to fluctuate constantly. Water can only be accessed one day a week, while drinking water is even harder to get: Hashem has to travel about a kilometer for it. On top of this, internet connection is weak, which makes it hard to communicate and impossible for Hashem to look for any work that might help him provide for his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For over a year now, Hashem and his family have fought to survive. By donating, you can help provide them with some stability in the face of constant changes and danger, and support Hashem and his wife as they take care of their young children.
</div>

Saving Hashem's Family: A Cry for Tomorrow

<div><strong>!!! THIS CAMPAIGN HAS MOVED </strong><a href="https://chuffed.org/project/helphala" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>TO CHUFFED</strong></a><strong> (chuffed.org/project/helphala)</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign is raising funds for<strong> Hala, her husband Mazen and their families</strong> in the North, which include <strong>11 adults and 6 children</strong>. Hala is also helping provide for <strong>a little girl who was orphaned</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hala is a young woman who married the love of her life, Mazen, and welcomed a child into the world just over a year ago. Unfortunately, only a few months after his birth, they lost their baby, as he became sick and they were unable to get him the medical care, medicine and food he needed in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During the current aggression of Gaza, Hala and Mazen's house was destroyed and they were separated from the rest of their families and displaced to Rafah, while still grieving their child and expecting another. In May, they were displaced once again as an aggression on Rafah began, and during the displacement, Hala tragically lost her four-month-old fetus.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hala and Mazen are currently living in a tent in a crowded and dangerous area; they share one phone that they can barely charge or get connection on; they have no way to get money in order to buy food, firewood or other supplies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The situation is extremely difficult due to the relentless bombing, the scarce availability of aid and the fact that prices are incredibly high right now. Hala and Mazen urgently need funds for food, water, basic necessities and possibly more displacements. On top of the funds they need for themselves, they are helping members of their families stuck in the North: Mazen's family includes 6 adults and 4 children, while Hala's family consists of 5 adults and 3 children. They have all been struggling to access food and basic necessities, as well as dealing with multiple health complications.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hala has also been helping take care of Jourie, a little girl of one year and a half, who has lost her parents. She and Hala have bonded so much that Hala now spends time with her as often as possible and has been helping her family members take care of her, providing her with food, clothes and other necessities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On top of this, Hala volunteers almost every day with children of different ages. She helps them learn to write and practice their English, as well as plan fun activities for them, like face painting or playing music for them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help as much as you can by donating and sharing this fund. We are extremely grateful for any help you will give.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>For transparency: I am organizing this fundraiser with the help of Hala’s younger brother, Walid, who lives in Europe. He will be the beneficiary and send the money raised directly to Hala.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>IMPORTANT: As of February 2025, almost 42k has been raised over the course of year, and most of it has had to be spent. For details on the reasons why the money was spent, you can check the updates and Hala's instagram profile, but overall it went to cover multiple displacements, months of food, water and other basic necessities and multiple health emergencies. A lot of it was also lost in transfer and withdrawal fees, which have gone up to 50% at times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>COST BREAKDOWN FOR 6 MONTHS:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Food (2 adults and 1 child): 1500 USD/month

</div>
<div>Money for Mazen’s family in the North (6 adults and 3 children): 1500 USD/month

</div>
<div>Tarps for tents: 〜 400 USD
</div>
<div>Clothes: 〜 500 USD
</div>

</div>
<div>Transfer fees: 〜 1103 (approx. 3%)
</div>
<div>Withdrawal fees: 12,866 (withdrawal fees for Hala have been up to 40%)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>TOTAL: 36,762 + 1470 + 1103 + 12.866 = 52,201 USD
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>52,201 USD = 〜<strong> 49,910 EUR </strong>(in addition to the 〜42k raised and spent on necessities and medical emergencies over the last year)

</div>
<div><em>NOTE: These are indicative costs based on the current situation.

Help Hala and her family in Gaza

<div>Dear Family &amp; Friends of Jose Emiliano Zamora,

</div>

<div>In this difficult time of sadness, after the loss of our beloved son, we are thanking the many, many people reaching out to support us. We have been asked by many of you how you can help. As you know, along with the grief of loss, we also have expenses to lay Jose to his final rest. We have started this GoFundMe page for anyone that is able to help financially.

</div>

<div>Thank You All for Any &amp; All Support you have provided.

</div>

<div>Sincerely,

</div>

<div>Jose Bautista, Jr., Yuana Torres, and Mary Jane Zamora 

</div>

In Memory of Jose Emiliano Zamora

<div>URGENT UPDATE 25 SEPTEMBER 
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78430287_1758820503305261_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With deep sadness and pain, I share with you the suffering of my sister, who has once again been displaced to the south with her children. The situation is extremely difficult, and the urgent needs are:
</div>
<div>	•	Transportation costs to the south: $1,500
</div>
<div>	•	Price of a tent for shelter: $1,000
</div>
<div>	•	Monthly rent for the land where the tent will stand: $1,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Paying all these amounts only secures a simple roof over their heads — otherwise, they will face homelessness, cold, and hunger. I am the one coordinating this campaign, and my mental state is collapsing under the weight of these tragic scenes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I beg you: any financial support, or even connecting us with humanitarian organizations, can make a big difference right now. Please pray for my sister, and thank you all for your love and kindness.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has
</div>
<div>supported my sister over the past two years…
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, she is going through the most difficult days of her life.
</div>
<div>The situation in Gaza has become unbearable — famine is devastating the people, and food has completely run out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A single bag of flour now costs more than $1,000 due to the extremely high transfer fees, which sometimes take up half the amount!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are helpless in the face of this humanitarian catastrophe.
</div>
<div>My sister is not asking for much — just some flour to feed her children, just enough to keep them alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If anyone can help, even with a little, it could save lives from dying of hunger
</div>
<div>.
</div>
<div><strong>Update on 14 March .</strong>
</div>
<div>.Prices in the North of Gaza 13th March 2025 الأسعار في شمال غزة 13 مارس 2025 After Israel has blocked food from entering Gaza for 12 days. Prices are in US dollars. The price of a lighter is $10 The price of a bag of flour is $40 The price of a chicken breast is $40 The price of a kilo of gas is $35 The price of a kilo of chicken is $40 The price of a cup of fresh water is $60 The price of a liter of diesel is $30 The price of vegetables is from $15 to $20 Today's liquidity withdrawal is 30%
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hope you can help as much as possible in this blessed month. Your support contributes to feeding an entire family… Life in Gaza has become a living hell in every sense of the word.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your monthly donation for my sister is important. I hope you can donate, even a little. Thank you for your love and kindness—may God always keep you with us.</strong>

</div>
<div><strong>Update on 1 March ... RAMDAN KAREM </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Today, Ramadan has arrived, and my sister is alone after once being surrounded by our laughter. I write this while crying… All her family members have been scattered outside our homeland—her mother and sisters—while she remains alone, celebrating, grieving, and eating by herself… in her tent, after the warmth of our beautiful homes.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>For this blessed month, we pray that Allah lifts my sister out of this hardship. I hope that everyone who has helped her continues to do so because she truly needs you.</strong>

</div>
<div><strong>Update on February 6</strong>
</div>
<div> A ceasefire has occurred, الحمد لله, this is a blessing from Allah. I thank you all for everything you have given my sister in love and support. Unfortunately, my sister’s husband went with the crowds to North Gaza to find that their home and neighborhood were completely gone. He returned to the south with his heart aching for the house that he had saved money for all his life. Now, he is back in my sister’s tent, and she truly needs your help. We need your assistance to secure a rental home for her with its necessities. The house costs $800 per month, and it is empty and also in poor condition. Please, she really needs you and your generous donations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>5 January 2025 Update
</div>
<div>Today marks two years of war for my sister… One year has passed with its pain, and another has arrived with its terrifying uncertainty. As she watches year after year, everyone celebrates the arrival of a new year… while she faces fear alone, without her mother and sisters, who were fortunate enough to be evacuated to Egypt. Meanwhile, she remains trapped with her family in their tent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Winter has come, and my sister has faced one of the greatest hardships—living out in the open. The tent provides no protection from the cold, no shelter from the rain, and no barrier to keep the water out. They can’t sleep because of the freezing winter nights.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I direct my message to every donor who has supported my sister: you have my gratitude, my love, and my heartfelt appreciation. I hope you can consider donating even half the amount needed so we can cover the winter expenses for my sister and her family

<div>.<strong>update 1 november...</strong>
</div>
<div>In the heart of conflict, my sister
</div>
<div>remains a symbol of resilience and courage. She is a woman deprived of the simplest rights in life, yet she has not lost her strength, even though the war casts its harsh shadow over every detail of her existence. She lives under siege, where food is scarce, and each day grows harder than the last. Still, she continues to face this bleak reality, drawing her strength from a love of life and a steadfast faith in patience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My sister is not just someone going through a crisis; she is a model of endurance when days grow dark, and resources dwindle, when smiles are stolen, and dreams are crushed. In the face of suffering, she creates hope from nothing, silences the pain of hunger with patience, and seeks a small reprieve in an ever-harsher reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sometimes, I wonder where she draws this strength from. How does she remain steadfast as the world collapses around her? Perhaps it’s the will to live, perhaps it’s the dream of a better tomorrow, or perhaps it’s her love of hope that allows her to look beyond, to a future she wishes to be less bleak.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My sister, you are not alone, even though the circumstances are harsh, and the light seems distant.

<div>My sister is a source of strength and hope, a person capable of turning pain into joy and suffering into opportunities for growth. She has a heart full of determination and a spirit that knows no defeat. No matter how tough the circumstances are, she is always smiling, always looking forward, teaching those around her the beauty of patience and the power of believing in a brighter future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every day, my sister shows us that life is worth living and that we can find light even in the darkest of times. While others celebrate only their happy moments, she celebrates even the difficult ones, transforming them into occasions filled with joy and hope. This was evident in how she celebrated her wedding anniversary, which she turned into a testament to her love, loyalty, and optimism, no matter what.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is not only a sister but also a source of inspiration and generosity, teaching hearts how to endure, how to love, and how to find, each day, a renewed hope that revives life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm Thanking each one of you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your donations and your love and support for my sister. You helped me so we could get her out of this immediate danger, but unfortunately, the crossing is closed now, which caused her to be the only one of my family left in Gaza. 2024 is coming to an end, and the war is still going on. People are dying more than ever, and the situation is getting much worse than before. My sister has been displaced from place to place several times, and she is living under a tent and living under conditions that no one human being should be going through. The majority of the money that we managed to raise for her was spent on food, water, and other daily life necessities, as life in Gaza now is unfordable, and the prices are unimaginable. I hope that you understand the amount of suffering and how many struggles she is facing with her family day by day, and why we don't want to waste the opportunity of getting her and her family out. I want to give you a quick brief on the prices in Gaza these days: The tent they live in now costs 900$, and hygiene tools such as soap, toilet paper, and shampoos. All these products have vanished from the markets. It's uncommon to find, and if they could find some of these tools, they would be too expensive. Clean water costs nearly 15$, and vegetables are picked by piece, as they can't afford to buy a whole pack. Bread and cheese cost more than 20 dollars. My sister spends more than 1000$ and even more every month just on the daily necessities. There are no jobs and they are fighting day by day so they make it and survive this terrible genocide

<div>Tomorrow is the second Eid, and my sister is still in Gaza.. but this Eid, she is alone without her family. They were evacuated, and she was not lucky.. She lives in a tent in the open in very difficult conditions... She needs you most now.. especially since Gaza threatens her. Famine... ‏It has been spent for nine months as part of this campaign. And when they open the crossing, they will miss a lot.

<div>Hello, I'm Dina, and I'm reaching out because my heart is heavy with worry. My sister Amani, her husband, and their four kids, along with my niece Mira, are facing a dangerous situation in Rafah and they urgently need your help. They used to have a safe place in Gaza City, a new home they worked so hard for. 
</div><img alt="78430287_1715715311600036_r.jpg" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78430287_1715715311600036_r.jpg" width="100%" /><img alt="78430287_1710791096914848_r.jpg" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78430287_1710791096914848_r.jpg" width="100%" />
<div> But then, their building got hit by bombs, and now they're living in tents in Rafah. Life there is full of danger, with bombs falling and uncertainty everywhere. Just imagine the fear of running for your life, with bombs falling all around you. And then ending up in a place like that. We've all seen the danger facing the people in Gaza. My sister Amani and her family urgently need to evacuate to safety in Egypt. The situation there is frightening, and they deserve to live without fear. ‏Your donation could be the thing that saves them. You sent While we have funds for 4 adults, we still need to raise the remaining funds for 2 additional adults and 1 child. ‏ Below is a breakdown of how the funds will be allocated: We need to raise a total of: €20,000  ‏EUROS - (APPROX $27,000 USD) ‏Evacuation cost for 2 Adults: $10,000 ‏Evacuation cost for 1 Child: $2.500 ‏The estimated bank transfer fees: $2000 ‏ Total = $14,500 USD - (€13,350 EUROS APPROX) ‏ After subtracting the total expenses from the €20,000 EUROS - (APPROX $27,000 USD) ‏Total: €5,500 EUROS - (APPROX $6000 USD) funds will be allocated towards essential day-to-day expenses like food, water, and shelter for the family until the conflict subsides. Let's come together to help them find refuge and security away from the conflict. Your support can make a real difference in ensuring their safety and well-being. You In the event that this family faces challenges in evacuating, we will utilize the funds to support them until they regain stability. However, we know that others have successfully evacuated using the same agency, so there should be a good chance for them to do so as well, inshallah! Every contribution, regardless of size, can make a world of difference! Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your network. Thank you for standing with us in this critical time.

Help my sister be evacuated from  GAZA

<div>Hello everyone. It saddens me to say this , but unfortunately My father Arnulfo Calderón Amaya has passed away. Born in San Nicolàs, Oaxaca. He was the youngest of the bunch, moved out to the states when he was only 20 years old and he started making his living here as a chef. While here, he had two children. My older sister Anyuli Calderón and myself Christopher Calderón. Including Two sons in Mexico. My father had a huge passion for soccer. Many of you might have met him through Sunday legue, and well lets just say he was very well recognized on the field but that wasnt all.. he was also passionate about his cooking and even golf. But his most proudest and biggest passion.. was his family. His children, his grandchildren, his nieces and nephews. He was not only an amazing Father but also a Brother, Uncle and Grandfather.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>He also made a lot of great friends throughout his years and im really grateful a lot of people got to see and meet the kind, warm hearted person he was. Never hesitated to help others in need.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My siblings and myself would like to fulfill my fathers last wish and lay him to rest in his home soil next to his parents. We ask.. any type of contributions towards his arrangements is very greatly appreciated from the bottom of all of our hearts. Thank you all again

Help Fulfill Arnulfo Calderón Amaya's Final Wish

<div>Hello, I am Ebaa from Gaza City. The truth is that my self-esteem prevented me from creating this link for 160 days, but waking up to the occupation’s bombardment “fire belts and artillery shells” almost ended my life and the life of my family, especially the fear of my sick sister who suffers from type 1 diabetes. It prompted me to create it and write my story to you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am here to ask you for urgent assistance in evacuating my family from Gaza to a safe place, as the cost of exiting Gaza is very high for one person, $5,000, and we are a family of 7 people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We left our home in Gaza and were displaced many times under inhuman conditions, suffering from all forms of oppression, disease, pollution, lack of security, treatment, and severe bombing. I currently reside in the city of Deir al-Balah, which is being subjected to severe bombing by the Israeli occupation.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the beginning of the war, the occupation
</div>
<div>partially destroyed my house due to Israeli air strikes, in addition to my small project called “Feather and Color,” which specializes in hand-painting decorative paintings.
</div>
<div>And digital drawing of characters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79121489_1711414817334829_r." width="100%" />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The occupation also destroyed our only source of livelihood, which is my father’s store, which specializes in selling imported Turkish women’s clothing, which is located in an archaeological area in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79121489_1711415014831503_r." width="100%" />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>My sister, Shaima, suffers from type 1 diabetes, and needs special health care, healthy food, and treatment with insulin pens and strips to test her blood sugar, and all of this is not available.
</div>
<div>Shaima also has her own small project, “manufacturing handmade accessories,” and the occupation has destroyed her dreams of continuing this small project.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>You are here now reading what I wrote because you are the knight who will contribute to saving me, saving my family, and saving my sick sister from the machine of death that is destroying everyone in front of her.
</div>
<div>For me and for my family, for you when you ask before God, what did you do for the people of Gaza? Save us.
</div>
<div>Note that even after paying the amount.. we wait a month to a month and a half and maybe more..!
</div>
<div>In order for our names to be included in the travel lists and for us to be able to leave Gaza, this is through registering in the only official way for us, Palestinian passport holders, to exit the Gaza Strip.
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support and understanding.

Help me and my family escape the war in Gaza

<b>Dear compassionate souls,My name is Dr. Mansour Abo Kareem, and I write to you from the heart of a shattered community in Northern Gaza.<br /></b> <br />Six months ago, my family and I were forced to evacuate our home amidst the relentless turmoil of war. Today, we find ourselves residing in a humble plastic tent in Dair Albalah, clinging to hope amidst the rubble of our former lives.<br /><br /><b>As a father and devoted husband, the weight of my family's future rests heavily upon my shoulders. </b>We are not just survivors; we are fighters, determined to rebuild our lives despite the immense challenges that confront us daily. Yet, the reality is stark: I cannot afford to provide for my beloved family, comprised of two intelligent daughters and two promising young sons.<br /><br /><b>The devastation of war extends far beyond physical destruction. It has robbed us of our sense of security, stripped away the opportunity for our children to receive an education</b>, and shattered the dreams we once held dear. Despite our own displacement, my wife selflessly volunteers her time to assist other displaced families in Dair Albalah, a testament to the unwavering spirit of resilience that defines us.<br /><br />In a life dedicated to advocating for the Palestinian cause, I have seen both triumph and despair. Yet, nothing could prepare me for the sense of helplessness that now engulfs me as <b>I struggle to provide for my family's basic needs. </b>Among the losses suffered in this unfair war are my most cherished possessions: a collection of books amassed over a decade, each one a testament to my passion for knowledge and justice.But amidst the rubble, a flicker of hope remains.<br /><br /> <b>We are not defeated. We refuse to abandon our land, our home, our identity.</b> We are Gaza, and we are here to stay. However, we cannot do it alone. We need your extended helping hands to stand beside us, to support us as we rebuild, to empower us as we fight for our lives and our rights on our own soil.<br /><br /><b>No matter the amount, your donation will make a difference. As the saying goes, "The raindrops will fill the bucket."</b> Together, let us defy the odds, defy the darkness, and emerge stronger than ever before. <br /><br />From the depths of our hearts, we thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and your unwavering solidarity.<br /><br />With hope and gratitude,<br /> Dr. Mansour Abo Kareem<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79380179_1712564972737605_r.jpg" alt="Image" width="100%" media_type="3" /><font color="#333333"><br /><br /><br /></font><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79380179_1712564972727525_r.jpg" alt="Image" width="100%" media_type="3" />

Standing Strong: Support Abo Kareem a Displaced Fa

<div>Our names are Maher Al-Attar and Samah Alaydi. We are a <strong>young Palestinian couple</strong>, <strong>united by love and resilience, striving to build a new life together despite the devastating war</strong> that has engulfed our homeland.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Maher's Story</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I, Maher, am 28 years old. For the past nine years, my simplest dream was to finish building my small house, complete my marriage plans, and start a family. After years of hard work, I finally completed my modest apartment. Unfortunately, my city has faced several wars, with the latest conflict causing unimaginable destruction.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>During this war, I sustained a severe injury that led to the amputation of my right leg. Despite this, I survived by God's will. My home, which I had worked so hard to build, was completely destroyed, making it uninhabitable. Tragically, I<strong> also lost my father, my brother's wife, and my brother's seven children</strong>. Our home, once a symbol of hope and a new beginning, became a place of unimaginable loss and sorrow.

</div>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Samah's Story</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I, Samah, grew up as an orphan in Gaza, under the care of my hardworking mother who sacrificed everything to ensure a brighter future for me. Thanks to her efforts, I became an engineer, graduating from the Islamic University in 2019. I underwent extensive training, honing my skills in freelancing, Android development, and social media. Despite the upheaval caused by war, I remained committed to my professional development and endeavored to support my family while establishing my own business, Creative Touch.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>However, my aspirations were abruptly halted when conflict erupted in Gaza. Displaced from my home, I found myself volunteering at an UNRWA shelter, assisting fellow displaced individuals. Witnessing countless tragic stories, I did my best to provide support despite the inherent risks involved.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Amidst this devastation, <strong>Maher and I found solace in each other</strong>.

Help Rebuild Maher and Samah's Lives

<div>My name is Jude, and I’m13 years old. I have been deprived of my childhood. Everything has been lost. My school, my toys, and even our house burned down. My family has suffered so much. Before the displacement, my father provided for us all in a beautiful house, and my mother did not deprive me of anything. Now, we live in a tent vulnerable to all the elements. It’s extremely hot in the summer, very cold in the winter, and it floods in the rain. I’m too afraid to go to our house. It’s a border area 3 kilometers away from the border tourists, but it is not safe to return to and it is destroyed. I miss everything about it I appeal to you as a 13 year old girl trying to save her family. Every single day brings new fear as we must determine how we will raise donations for food, winter clothing, and proper shelter. We anticipate many days of hunger, cold, and wetness during the winter months if we cannot collect these funds. If you have donated to my family in the past, please know that your efforts are appreciated and we ask you to find it in your heart to donate to us once again. Without any income for my family, this is our only means to live.and I wish I could go back to live in it despite the destruction and everything.

Help jood and her family

<div>I am Ayman from Gaza. I am 20 years old. I study graphic design. I graduated from university and opened my own office. I was very happy that I began to take the first step in my life as an ambitious young man with endless dreams. But the war came and destroyed everything, literally everything. The story began when we were first displaced. Once to Rafah, as we were asked to do, but even Rafah was not spared from bombing and destruction. The news and the Internet may tell you pictures and scenes, but they cannot convey to you what we feel. It is terrible and suspicious. Escaping is tiring and loss is painful. We lost our lives, our relatives, our homes, and our friends. We now live as a body without a soul. We have narrowed all paths. There is no safe path and there is no solution to what we are in now. After 250 days of war, I live with my family in a tent. The cost of the tent is worth $1000. I and 12 people from my family have no place. We stand in line for hours to get water and food. This was not the day. Our lives, but this is what we are living now. If you can donate, you have saved the life of an entire family. If you cannot, help me by praying or spreading. 
</div>
<div>all the love 
</div>
<div>Ayman and his family.

Help me and my family to find the basic necessities of life

<div>Hello, I am Ann, a belgian mother, living in Germany and I got a request from Rana, the sister from Hala (who I met on Instagram with the request to amplifie her GFM some months ago). She asked if I could help her with starting a GFM.
</div>
<div>A quote that I read a month ago, has inspired me to do so.
</div>
<div><em>" It is now the time that there has to be something by someone...and I think that I am that someone.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am Rana Al-Hadidi, a doctor and the mother of three children: Hassan, 12 years old, Mai, 11 years old, and Ibrahim, 9 years old. We are residents of northern Gaza. We have witnessed many wars, and every time we were lucky to survive, but in this war, we lost our work, our source of income, our house, and everything we owned, and we were displaced. Several times until we finally reach the city of Rafah. My son Ibrahim suffers from multiple allergies and needs a specific food, which I cannot give him now. He also suffers from ADHD. We suffered daily until I, my daughter, and my sick son were able to leave for Egypt. My husband, my son Hassan, and my sick father-in-law remained in Gaza. We are in desperate need of help so that we can build our lives and provide a decent living for our children and so that we can meet again together somewhere in this world. I look to your kind hearts to help and support us so that we can overcome all this pain and be able to live in peace with our children and so that I can provide treatment for myself as well. I need daily treatment as I suffer from a chronic hereditary disease that hinders my daily activity, lupus erythematosus.

<div>2. We need 5000 dollars per year for rent.
</div>
<div>3. I need treatment, and my youngest son ibrahim 1000 dollars per month.
</div>
<div>4. We need resources (foods and clothes.,ect..) 1000 per month.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money from this fund will be transferred with paypal. Like Rana wrote, she is in Egypt and has the ability to have acces to paypal. She can transfer it then on the family`s bankaccount, so that her husband has acces to it, for paying to cross the border.

Support my Family to reunite in Gaza & build our future

<div>Hello my friends, I am Esraa . I created a fundraising campaign for a nursing student living in Gaza who did not complete her university studies because of the war. My name is Mena . I am a university student. I was about to finish my university studies and work as a nurse, but the war destroyed my dreams and my future... The war took everything, my home, my university and even my memories... I am suffering greatly and I fear that my future will be lost. Please help me build my future and leave Gaza with my family to go to Egypt to complete my studies as a nurse and achieve my dream... I wished to be in the front lines treating patients and helping people... Please be my future, support me and help me leave Gaza to a safe place to complete my studies as a nurse...
</div>

<div>Hello there, My name is Mohammad, I go by Medo and
</div>
<div>I am 19 years old. I live in Gaza City where I also grew up and spent my whole life.
</div>
<div>I lived a year of my life in Texas, United States where I lived with amazing American host families, and went to a great American high school as a senior (Harker Heights High School) which was the best academic experience of my life. I was planning on going back to the USA for college and I wanted to major in psychology and then after that continue my studies and become a psychiatrist to help as many people as I can. Today I am writing this while in a tent, in Rafah, right next to the Egyptian border trying to raise money to help me and my family evacuate and leave the Gaza Strip, have a life, and continue on with my dreams and my family’s dreams.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The picture above shows what my block looks like now after it was brutally bombed by the Israeli forces, and the other pictures show me and my family members.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Here is a quick summary of what’s been happening for the past 130 days and what is still happening.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Well, on the first night as we were trying to sleep normally—I had a feeling something bad was gonna happen to us, the Israelis threw many nearby missiles that were very scary and awoke me and my family then they threw another 3, but this time they were so close to our house—10 ft away or so, they destroyed our house on top of our heads, we literally had to move bricks and stuff from on top of our heads and then went running in the street trying to go somewhere safer. I can’t even describe how awful the scene was. I am literally crying right now as I am writing this and remembering how horrible it was. To describe it quickly it looked like Call of Duty, it looked like a video game. All I could see was smoke from the bombing. What  I heard was really sad and scary in a way, all I could hear was kids crying, moms screaming, and a siren sound going off. There was no oxygen to breath, it was all smoke and some bad smells.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Luckily we made it past that night all alive with only some light injuries. We then stayed at an UNRWA school (supposedly a safe shelter, yet in that same night they had bombed an UNRWA school) for the next week, life was really hard! Harder than you can imagine! 51 people in one room! Imagine!! If you look at us while asleep we would look like canned sardines. They had cut all supplies (water, food, electricity, internet, etc) but we had some electricity because it was generated by solar panels, anyways, a week later they threw papers from the sky saying that we have to evacuate to the southern parts of Gaza Strip because they are going to be “safe”. It was so hard finding a car to take us to the south and we needed more than 5 cars. Lucky thank god we found cars at the end and we headed to the south. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The trip to the south was the scariest trip of my life. It literally crashed me internally. They said it would be safe to go to the south but literally bombed and killed more than 150 people on their way to the south. We made it safely to the south after all and some strangers offered us an apartment they have to stay in. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the first 75 days in the south we had struggled with food and water, eating only one meal a day, and when I say we eat I am not talking about filling ourselves up and getting full, I am talking about eating very little portions only to stay alive and because you know we are a family of 8 and there is not much food, and even the bread we eat, we had to wait for 7-10 hrs in line to get some. We had to walk about 1.5 miles carrying buckets of water to get clean drinking water, bathrooms! We haven’t used them…well in the past 120 days! I literally have to walk around a mile to go to a bathroom with water that I can use to wash. Showers? I have only had about 7 showers since the whole war began. Things were really hard and we were really struggling. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then comes the next about 50 days in Rafah. In brief I can say: the worst days of my life.
</div>
<div>December 26th, at 6:00am, we packed all our stuff and got ready to move from Khan Younos to Rafah; the situation was getting very bad in Khan Younos and we had to leave. We got here by noon and started working on the tent and we unloaded our stuff from the vehicle and started our journey with a whole new life—the life of struggles, a different level of struggles. Since then we’ve been eating what I call “fake food.” Just canned food, canned salami, canned beef, canned tuna and so on. And we’ve been eating this kind of food for a couple of reasons, first it is the only food we can find, and second it is the only food we can afford; everything is super expensive, so yeah we haven’t had any milk, eggs, chicken, cheese or any real food for a while.
</div>
<div>And that is just a small part of our struggle, the whole living in a tent thing is very hard on its own..so cold at night, so wet when it rains and so hot when the sun is up, but I think rainy nights are the worst! I can’t describe how terrible it is sleeping under the rain and getting all our blankets and mattresses wet.
</div>
<div>Now for the financial situation I don’t know where to start, my dad worked for a private company, which means he hasn’t gotten any salaries since the war started, we have been living off of some money we had saved and after it was gone we have been living off of some helps from other relatives and friends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update day 253 
</div>
<div>I have been living in a tent for almost 6 months now, and if there is one thing I can tell you it is that living in a tent like this is like camping in a desert but for a little too long. Living off of less than the minimum requirements for life, and what makes it worse is having to deal with all the emotional stress that comes with being scared for your life all of the time and knowing that you can’t do nothing about it because you are helpless, so you are just waiting for your turn and trying to life the last day for you every day.
</div>
<div>I moved from Rafah 3 days before the invasion and we were lucky enough not to pay all the money we had left on us just on transportation, we still had to pay a lot on some life necessities because we were starting from the beginning again.
</div>
<div>Then I started filming my life and posting on social media to show people what life here is actually like and how I really spend my day, but I don’t show the struggles and hardships, I only show the part of my life where I try to live and have some fun.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money I am raising will be used for all the expenses to get out of Gaza and rebuild our lives again, that includes college and school fees because we won’t have money to pay for them but we need to go and continue our life. Let me explain why it is expensive. 
</div>
<div>In order to leave Gaza Strip in normal days is really hard, leaving during the war is a little bit more possible than impossible, you need to have a foreign citizenship or pay some money to have your name on the list of travelers through Rafah land port, and since we don’t have foreign passports we will need to pay money to go through Rafah land port which we don’t have.
</div>
<div>It costs around $5000-$10,000 per person to have their name on the list, I have 7 family members other than myself that I need to have our names on the list. We are trying to raise the money that will help us cover the whole cost of the trip and pay for the continuing of our life  and get us out of this war zone asap.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The people I am trying to get out of here are:
</div>
<div>My dad
</div>
<div>My mom
</div>
<div>Myself 
</div>
<div>My sister Rahaf
</div>
<div>My brother Zaid, we call him Zaiood
</div>
<div>My brother Abdelrahman, we call him Abood
</div>
<div>My brother Ahmad
</div>
<div>My brother Zain

Help Medo and his Family Rebuild their Life.

Daniel Reyes

<div>Greetings from Gaza!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> I’m Amna, a young artist living in a tent with my family, hoping each day to survive. Before the war, I had just started college studying multimedia, full of hope and dreams. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/82441647_1724992965389212_r.jpeg" width="100%" />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our home was destroyed (along with our schools and hospitals, and all of Gaza). We’ve been displaced many times. Life became hard, and all my dreams vanished like smoke.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My father, living with diabetes, struggles to provide us with the basic necessities. He inspires us by helping others, no matter how desperate our circumstances, building bathrooms and distributing homemade food to our tent neighbors. I <strong>refuse to be broken by my circumstances, even though we struggle daily to secure the basics—food, water, and shelter</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite the constant fear of death that surrounds us, I have come to believe that life is worth fighting for, and I will continue to resist through digital art.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your contribution:</strong>
</div>
<div> ~ Will provide me and my family with some of our daily necessities – food, clean water and medicine.
</div>
<div> ~ Will provide e-sims cards for communication and for me to share my art and my voice with the world.
</div>
<div> ~ Will be used for the workshops I am offering neighboring children – teaching basic reading and writing along with drawing to help them release the stress and trauma they are experiencing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to share my story with you despite the bombings, starvation, and death. I draw to escape the torment of death. Even with the scarce electricity and internet, I spend long hours charging my phone and iPad so I can draw and escape from this bitter reality. I draw to defy death. Despite the siege, my drawings travel freely to the outside world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I stand firm through my art and my hope for life. If I survive, my art will be my lifeline. If I don’t, it will bear witness to the suffering and will always remain in cyberspace, reminding the world that there was hope trying to shine through the darkness of oppression and genocide. From the heart of Gaza and from within our worn-out tent, I light a candle of hope. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My drawings are symbols of resilience and messages of hope for humanity that will never die. Your generous contributions will empower me to share my voice and art with the world, and to inspire the displaced children who attend my workshops.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and compassion.
