<div>Hello,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Maria and I am from Eugene, Oregon. The intention behind this campaign is to help my friends, the Ahmed family, provide necessities for their young children. Funds from this campaign will be used towards milk, diapers, and other pertinent expenses if
</div>
<div>needed (ex. shelter).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Originally from Khan Yunis, Gaza, they have experienced unimaginable hardships throughout the war. Their home was burned down after Occupation forces utilized it as a military barracks. The Ahmed's have been displaced multiple times, which has been traumatic to say the least. Your donation would make a huge difference in helping to alleviate some of their stress. Funds will be transferred to them via Western Union and documentation of this will be provided.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you,
</div>
<div>Maria
</div>
<div><br />

Help relieve the Ahmed family's hardships

<div>My name is Brandon Williams, and I am an American from North Carolina who works in youth nonprofits. I am managing this campaign on behalf of Allam Atallah, a young multimedia professional from Deir al-Balah, Palestine. For over two years now, I have had the honor of considering Allam to be family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Prior to the ongoing campaign of violence across Gaza, Allam was a university student studying to become a professor of technological education. He shared the same interests and hobbies as many young Palestinians: he enjoyed seeing friends, playing football, and going to the beach. Now, Allam's home has been destroyed and he and his family have been displaced. Allam's former life has been destroyed by the occupation, but we can come together to help him rebuild a new life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Allam is the sole provider for his family, and is tasked with looking after both siblings and cousins. Allam is defined by his altruism, compassion, and willingness to look after others. Whether he is putting a smile on the faces of his younger cousins, securing water for the family, or aiding in community events for the displaced orphaned children, Allam's character and conviction shines through.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here are Allam's words:
</div>
<div>"The prices are fantastically high and the food is very low and there are no job opportunities. My brothers and sisters are hungry and tired. We have a lot of water shortage and I haven't eaten meat in a long time. When it rains, we get wet and cold due to bad shelter. Please help me feed my siblings and keep them warm. Please do not leave me alone. I send you all my steadfast smile."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All donations will be collected by me and personally distributed to Allam via PayPal. Donations will go toward securing much needed resources and food items as the prices in Gaza skyrocket due to the blockade of goods. The price of flour is exorbitant, and flour itself is scarce. Some bags have been replaced with sand. As Allam mentioned, he has not eaten meat in months. The need for proper nutrition is at an all-time high. I am happy to provide screenshot receipts of all payouts to Allam. Please share Allam's content and donate what you can. Allam is the most loving soul I have come to know. He makes life better for all those who know him. Let us return the favor.
</div>

Help Allam Survive in Gaza: Food and Shelter Needed

<div>My name is Brandon Williams and I am located in North Carolina in the United States. This campaign is for the cousin of my dear friend and brother Allam. His name is Hossam, and he has been struggling to protect his children in this genocide. Below is his campaign in his own words:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"My name is Hossam. I am 33 years old. I have three daughters. The first is 10 years old, the second is 7 years old, and the youngest is 3 years old. In addition, my father and mother live with me, and they are elderly and need special care. My two younger sisters have been around for a long time, and I have not been working in light of this war, and we are living. On the aid provided to us by international institutions, which is not sufficient to meet the basic needs of human life, it is not sufficient to meet Our basic needs for life, in addition to the closure of the crossings, all of this, except that the prices are very high, even imaginary. We cannot buy bread in the current situation, and the winter has entered for us as well. In short, we are living war, genocide, hunger, and poverty. We have become in a miserable state beyond imagination. This is our story and our life."

<div>Hello World,
I hope this message finds you well, enjoying life and cherishing the moments with your loved ones. My name is abdo and I am reaching out to you from Gaza with a heart full of hope and faith that you might be able to help us change our lives.
Gaza is not just in crisis; it's collapsing. The situation here is becoming unbearable, and I've lost everything that once gave me a sense of stability and safety. I've been displaced seven times, each time losing more than I could have imagined. Our home, once a sanctuary, was bombed by Israeli soldiers. Our car, our only means of transportation, was destroyed as well.
But the worst blow came when my university was reduced to rubble. There is no other university that offers anything equivalent to what I was studying. All my efforts, all those late nights studying, and all my dreams for the future were crushed in an instant. I feel like my future has been stolen from me.
My family and I are desperate to escape the war-torn streets of Gaza. We are seven members in total: me, my parents, two brothers, and two sisters. We just want a chance to start over, to find safety and pursue our education in Egypt. But we can't do it alone. We've created a GoFundMe account to raise funds for our evacuation, and we're reaching out to you, to anyone who can find it in their hearts to help us.
Every donation, every share, every bit of support can bring us one step closer to safety, to a new life. We are not just numbers on a news report; we are a family in desperate need of compassion and assistance. Please consider helping us. You can find the link to our GoFundMe in the bio on my page.
Thank you for your kindness and for listening to our story. We are eternally grateful for any support you can offer.
With hope and gratitude,
Abdelrahman.❤️ <span>I will attach some pictures of our life before and after the war</span><span> </span>

Help me and my family from Gaza

<div>After reading Patrick Fealey's article, "The Invisible Man," I couldn't keep it to myself. I had a pit in my stomach the entire time. I was familiar with where Patrick was from and where his personal story took place. He was a fellow Rhode Islander. Patrick's powerful story of homelessness, while being afflicted with debilitating manic depression, Bipolar 1, lacking any resources yet harnessing an amazing writing talent was inspiring and motivating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Immediately, I sent the article to my family: mom, dad, sister... We all huddled over the next few days on how we might help Patrick. My father hit the ground the very next day searching the local neighborhood for Patrick. He asked around locally and visited the local police stations and shelters. His search went on for over a week before my father was able to connect with Patrick. As we have gotten to know him over these past several days we understand his story is one of perseverance and determination. Patrick was born in New York City and grew up in southern RI. The Esquire article mentions that he is writing novels in the car, but there's more to the story of his literary efforts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 1997, Patrick became disabled by manic depression and unable to work in the fast-paced, high stress world of journalism. This would have crippled most people, but not Patrick, he saw it as an opportunity to pick up where he left off after graduating from the University of RI in 1990. He turned down a newspaper job at that time, in order to finish a novel he began in his junior year in college (Bystander) while attending Humboldt State University in CA.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Between 1991 and 1997, he wrote literary fiction and worked as a reporter intermittently (The Narragansett Times and The Boston Globe), voted Best Art Critic twice and Best Investigative Reporter by multiple press associations nationwide. In 1996, he received The Spirit of Rhode Island Award for capturing the zeitgeist of the Ocean State.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since the violent onset of manic depression in 1997, he has roamed the country, 20 residences in 18 cities coast to coast, and banged out 15 literary works. He has not made an effort to sell books, but novel excerpts and short stories of his have been published internationally, from New York to Bombay. Patrick's work is catalogued at Yale University and in 2017, literary scouts for the Frankfurt Book Fair, the largest annual gathering of publishing professionals, ranked the serialized edition of the novella Bird's Island as one of the ten best of the year in the world after reading and reviewing 6,000 magazines. He is all in when it comes to literature and it's been said he has advanced the art-form, works widely published in the avant-garde. It takes time for revolutionary art to break through, but the truth outs. In the meanwhile, he works. He told me that when he became homeless, he was determined to write his way out and doubled down by rewriting Bystander, an imaginative exploration of violence in America, and the coming of age novel, A California Blue, excerpts of which were published by an alternative weekly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those unfamiliar, Bipolar 1 is considered a noble affliction by many, a torturous gift which imparts vision. It's an asset to artists and in fact there are many articles published on how bipolar individuals tend to dominate all fields, including medicine and business. The mind on the move passes through many perceptions, blessed sufferers seeing existence from more coordinates than most know exist. Patrick's case is very severe. It's called "rapid cycling" in which the highs and lows occur closer together and are more extreme. It's agonizing for him and unsustainable. If it were not for modern medicine, Patrick believes he would not be here. Somehow he has deep gratitude which I find so profound. He said to me "I lament the fates of those who came before and did not have the benefits I've had. Van Gogh. Sylvia Plath. A brilliant surgeon I knew as a kid. It's important we remember there is such a thing as mercy for oneself. Their suicides were not 'outs' but noble cures."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our family has been helping Patrick however we can. <strong>Patrick needs your help and support until he can reestablish himself and get the support he needs.</strong> Please consider giving and donating what you can to help <strong>Patrick Fealey. </strong>The funds will be used initially for Patrick’s necessary car repairs, for Patrick’s desperately needed dental work, and with enough generosity for Patrick’s future 1st months rent &amp; security deposit. The goal is to provide enough for an apartment and living expenses for a year, by which time he may be on his feet thanks to the publication of his novels. But in the meantime, each $96 will keep him warm &amp; safe for 1 more night stay at a local Inn in Rhode Island.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update 11/27/24 "Thanksgiving Eve":
</div>
<div>Patrick and Lilly have been able to sleep in a bed for the last few days at a small local Inn here in South County, RI. During this time he has been working to secure his first appointment at a local dentist to get some urgent treatment which will help with the pain and discomfort he has been experiencing. Patrick is working with a local mechanic to get his car repaired so that it is drivable, as he uses it for Uber and DoorDash work. We are helping Patrick search for longer term affordable housing, which has proven to be more difficult than expected. There are no shelters in the area for long term stays and rental rates are extremely expensive. Government subsidized housing has an extremely long wait once his application is approved. Your generous donations will help pay for all of these critical things. After many days of arduous research we now know even the smallest and most humble apartment is going to be expensive. As a result, we have increased the goal amount of this GoFundMe to hopefully secure a long term rental for Patrick until a government subsidized housing becomes available(12-18 month wait best case). Although we know it will be a tough road ahead, Patrick has new found hope and is overwhelmed by all your support. We appreciate your help to keep Patrick and Lilly in a safe place.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Ibrahim, I am 16 years old, and I suffer from Down syndrome, which has profoundly affected my life from the moment I was born. However, what has supported me is the unwavering care and dedication of my family and relatives, who do everything they can to ensure my well-being and happiness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fortunately, my family lived in the city of Al-Zahra. For those who are unfamiliar, Al-Zahra is a beautiful city, considered one of the most stunning in the Gaza Strip, built with modern standards. This encouraged my parents to build a large, beautiful home with a lush green garden full of thriving trees, including date palms, citrus fruits, guavas, and more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79306427_1726411792565623_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But since the onset of this devastating and irrational war, our lives have drastically changed. We lost our once-wonderful life filled with love and security, and the sense of safety vanished as fear, terror, and death became our constant companions amid relentless bombardments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family and I have lived in a state of perpetual fear and uncertainty. The war has destroyed our lives, deprived us of our means of livelihood, and turned our home into a desolate place. Our three-story house was directly targeted and completely demolished, leaving it uninhabitable. Our lives have been transformed from a comfortable and peaceful existence to one of fear, hardship, and struggle, as we fight to meet even the most basic needs: water, food, and shelter, even if rudimentary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79306427_1726411832920603_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Facing relentless attacks from land, sea, and air, we had no choice but to leave our beautiful city. Although this decision was incredibly difficult, as it meant leaving behind the place we had always called home and bidding farewell to beloved people, it was driven by our family’s strong desire to protect us from a life filled with fear, death, and destruction. Especially after Israeli forces destroyed my city, leveling nearly 30 residential towers in one night, from 9 PM to 9 AM the next day, which housed hundreds of apartments and thousands of innocent families. It was a hellish night that I can never forget; the sounds of missiles still echo in my sleep, causing me to wake up terrified and seek refuge in my parents' embrace. The terrifying, thunderous noise seems to haunt me incessantly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are not only suffering from material deprivation but also from the psychological and emotional scars of living in a war zone that has obliterated everything. There is no home, no education, no healthcare, no electricity, no water, and no cooking gas. The most devastating thing is the absence of hope for the future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I miss my previous life deeply—my home, my friends, my toys, and my beautiful clothes. I miss my school, my teachers, and friends whose whereabouts I am now unaware of.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79306427_1726411861454348_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know you are a wonderful person who would not wish such suffering and despair on anyone. I am sure you look at your spouse, siblings, or children and fear for their safety, just as we do. We support you with our love and prayers, hoping that God keeps you safe. Yet, we look forward to your support to help us live. Do you believe that your contribution, no matter how small, could lead us to a safer and brighter life? By supporting this campaign, you are not just helping one family; you are advocating for peace, dignity, and the right to live without fear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are immensely grateful for your time in reading our story. Your generosity, kindness, and compassion have a profound impact on us. With your help, we can move beyond the darkness of war and toward a future filled with hope and light.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By participating, sharing our story, and donating to our campaign—and encouraging your friends to do the same—you are not only helping us survive but also giving us the chance to thrive in a safe environment, attend school, and build a future free from the horrors of war.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even a small donation could help us rebuild our destroyed home and revive our dreams. And don’t forget that you would also be helping my beloved brother, Abdul Rahman, continue his university studies and achieve his dream of studying medicine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Will you help me achieve this beautiful dream?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Don’t forget—I am awaiting your support and contribution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>May God bless you.

Help Ibrahim’s Family From Gaza Rebuild Their Lives

<div><br />
</div>
<div>My daughter Nicolette (pictured) passed away at 25 from Sickle Cell Thalassemia in 2019. Today, Sept. 23rd marks the fifth year since she was called home. For four years in a row, I've had a fundraiser in her name to support seniors from Amityville High School, where she graduated in 2012. So many generously donated between 2020 and 2023, with over $20,000 raised. Those donations helped 15 graduates with their college tuition/expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I didn't do a fundraiser this past May, and until now, I couldn't tell you why.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I now know that God had other plans for the fundraiser this year. I met a wonderful soul, Melissa B., from Malawi, Africa. She is a strong, self-assured, beautiful, intelligent, and resilient young woman who I have had the pleasure of getting to know over the past few months. She was introduced to me through a very good friend I have known for over 30 years. He's been a missionary in Malawi for over 10 years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating! My prayer is to raise enough for her to complete her education and cover her living expenses. Melissa's expected Master's degree graduation is in Spring 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is her story:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Hopeful Journey in America
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a 26-year-old woman studying for her Master's degree in the U.S. I am the oldest of three children raised by a single parent in Malawi, Africa. As a young dreamer growing up in a small village, my goal has always been to seek higher education and obtain a master's degree. In 2020, I completed my studies in Malawi and obtained a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After graduation, I worked diligently to fulfill my financial duties for my mom, brother, and sister, as well as support my siblings through their own undergraduate studies. I am thankful that God continuously met our needs, even with only a part-time job. In February 2023, I secured full-time work at a bank in Malawi. My mom had also started a small business, so I was able to save money and began applying for Master's programs in the U.S., getting closer to my lifelong goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was also excited to have secured a school loan from a company that helped international students get loans to study abroad. I left my family, my home, and Malawi for America with excitement and hope! I had saved enough for my flight and living expenses. Knowing that I would have the loan to pay for school, my new journey had begun. The initial months in the U.S. have been incredibly challenging, and the course load was heavy, but I managed to get an A in each of the two classes I had this summer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, the high cost of living in the expensive city began to take its toll. Rent, food, books, and transportation were far more costly than I had anticipated. Basic needs quickly consumed the little income I brought with me from my home country, and by the end of the semester, I realized I had very little left - but at least I had my school loans for the fall semester... or so I thought.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The company that had initially approved the first loan for my summer school chose to deny me any further loans. I was unaware of the "fine print" that said I would need to be approved each semester. I was suddenly without funds to support the remainder of my education. I applied for other loans, but it was too close to the beginning of this fall semester. Despite the challenges, I didn't give up. I reached out to my professors and advisors. They were all very kind and supportive, but without the finances to pay for school, there was nothing they could do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The pressure has been overwhelming, and there are moments when I think of going back home. But whenever that thought crosses my mind, I remember my village, my family, and all those little girls and others who look up to me as a role model. They need to see me succeed. They need to know that dreams, no matter how far-fetched, can come true with determination and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My hope now rests on the goodwill of well-wishers who might help me through the final stages of my journey and continue my efforts of becoming a master's graduate ready to give back to my community in Malawi.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My student visa remains active through the end of this semester. My prayer is that I will be able to begin classes again in Spring 2025!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you all, and God bless each of you!
</div>

From Malawi to the US, help Melissa get her Master's degree

<div><strong>Hello, I am starting a campaign for my family who are experiencing an ethnic cleansing genocide and depend on us for aid relief. Their living conditions are uninhabitable, living among rubble, with immense fears of rockets, bombardments, and airstrikes, while they are meant to have a normal life like anyone else. They were forced to evacuate from their homes due to Israel’s cruel system of domination and apartheid against Palestine. The constant threat of bombs and violence made it impossible for them to stay, needing to seek refuge elsewhere.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>They are now seeking shelter in a tiny tent under horrible war conditions filled with hunger, bitter cold, and health-threatening diseases, including endless insect bites. They have no access to anything but uncontaminated water, which can be life-threatening for weak immune systems. Also, the university where I was studying was bombed and turned into rubble, so I can no longer complete my education and must wait until it is rebuilt.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I am reaching out to my fellow humans who are willing to extend a hand for the underprivileged living a life they do not deserve; for a survival chance to escape the harrowing circumstances of war and conflict to rebuild Gaza with a future filled with promise, safety, and hope. This is not just a plea for help; it's a call for collective compassion and solidarity. Living in constant fear and uncertainty, not knowing if you will live tomorrow, is a burden no human can bear. Imagine losing everything you have ever possessed: your home, your family, your city, your source of income, your people. This is the reality for my family</strong>
</div>

Help me survive this genocide.

<div>Hello everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Maria and I live in Eugene, Oregon, USA. I have created this campaign for a friend of mine, 19-year-old Osama Tahseen, in collaboration with Mohammed Tahseen. Originally from Gaza City, the Tahseen family has endured displacement to other areas of the Gaza Strip throughout the past year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Osama graduated from high school with honors, not long before the genocide. He planned to fulfill the vision he had for his life by attending Al-Azhar University to study electrical engineering just like his brother, Mohammed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Al-Azhar University was bombed by Occupation forces in November 2023, completely destroying the entire facility and Osama's ambitions. In addition to this, many of his friends have been martyred. These traumatic experiences have caused unimaginable grief, hopelessness, and depression. Osama does not have the privilege of taking time to process these events as he is in a constant state of hypervigilance due to living in an ongoing war zone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The importance of continuing education and personal growth are some of Osama's core values; he thrives from learning. Money raised from this campaign will be used as a college fund for Osama: tuition, textbooks, student housing, and any other pertinent expenses. If needed, money from this campaign may be used by Osama for necessities in the meantime (food, water, clothing, medical care, vet, etc.) Funds raised will be withdrawn by me and transferred to Osama via Western Union. I can provide documentation of each transfer. Message me via the 'Contact' option next to my name if you have any questions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Circumstances like this serve as a reminder of the interdependence between individual and collective wellbeing and provide an opportunity to show the world that we will always take care of each other.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let's revive Osama's ambitions and propel his will to keep going.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love,
</div>
<div>Maria

<div>I adopted Magoo from a rescue in NYC in March of 2018, not long after the passing of my son’s father in December of 2017. He was rescued from being abused, tied up outside in a junkyard in NJ. Magoo was 15 months old. He didn’t know any commands like sit or stay or no. Magoo never lived in a house, so he wasn’t house-trained. Underweight at 94 pounds, not only did this boy need to eat better; He needed love. Love that I never thought would be so easy to give to him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And I never expected the love Magoo would give in return. It was immeasurable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Magoo had always been in good health, no concerning issues. Never missed a vet check-up. Unfortunately, this changed on September 11th after 2 days of not wanting to eat. I brought Magoo to his vet where they revealed that his heart rate was very elevated, and his breathing began to labor. An x-ray was done, which then revealed that Magoo’s heart was so enlarged that it took up about 75% of his chest cavity. Dilated cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure was suspected, and I needed to immediately take him to the emergency vet/hospital. His hospital stay started that evening, immediately placing him on IV medications to help him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Magoo was stabilized on September 12th, and we were planning to bring him home that evening, albeit on tons of medications that he would most likely need for the rest of his life. Some later tests that revealed slightly elevated liver and kidney levels, Magoo’s doctors wanted him to stay at the hospital one more night for precaution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the morning of Friday September 13th, Magoo was stable, so again we were hoping to bring him home. In the afternoon of that same day, his condition deteriorated unexpectedly, and very quickly, as his blood pressure kept bottoming out and he could not be stabilized again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We left our sweet boy when hospital visiting hours were over at 10pm, not knowing if he would make it overnight. Magoo’s doctor called me at 1:23 am on Saturday, September 14th, to let us know our best friend was gone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Not ever truly really realizing the impact that Magoo had on our lives, this loss is incredibly painful. Magoo gave us so much happiness and light after a period of very dark times. This sweet dog, who never needed any training when we brought him home (having no obedience or housebreaking training when adopted), became a de facto therapy dog all on his own. He loved hugs and would let you hang on him and cry for as long as you needed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Magoo loved his friends, and he had so many of them. He loved his friends at Blue Point Brewing, in our neighborhood, and at the local farm down the street that had Tuesday open mic nights. He loved his ducks, live music, pizza, walking trails in the woods, being at the beach, MLB and MiLB baseball games, and road trips. He was the life of the party, and everyone loved him. Everyone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It pains me to even need to write this, but as you can imagine the cost to try and save his life was expensive. And that cost had to be paid up-front for Magoo to receive the care he needed. Loved ones helped me to cover that cost so he could receive treatment, but I am humbly asking for help so I can possibly repay those loved ones who were so generous.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If Magoo ever put a smile on your face, I’m sure he would be incredibly grateful if you could help his best friend recover from losing him. And his best friend will be eternally grateful for your love and kindness.
</div>

Support for Magoo's best friend, in his loving memory

<div>Since the beginning of this genocide, I tried to convince my friend Hatem to leave Gaza and save his family, but love for his country and his people made him look for all possible solutions to stay in Gaza. Documenting the most horrific situations, being targeted multiple times and being displaced from place to place caused him great suffering. Hatem always had a smile on his face and tried to show me that he was fine, but I could see the difference in his mental health and I noticed it's getting worse day by day. The situation in Gaza worsened and he finally admitted that there was no other way to save his family than to leave Gaza. Now after 6 months of being in constant mortal danger, Hatem has finally allowed me to create this gofundme so that he could evacuate his family to egypt. I hope that you all can support him, every amount no matter how small is important.

<div>Hello world My name is Hatem Hani Al-Rawag, a Palestinian displaced from Gaza City to the south of Gaza due to the Israeli genocide on the Gaza Strip. I left with my family, my wife, and my three children (Hani - Sila - Jihad). We had a small, beautiful family home, but due to the intense bombing and ground invasion of the area where I live, the house became uninhabitable after being damaged by the airstrikes. I worked as a photographer and captured the war on Gaza and covered the suffering of civilians there. I witnessed myself very difficult, unbelievable stories and went through very heartbreaking situations where I had to se suffering of children and women killed only because they were Palestinians. I know that my family and I are in danger. Before the war we had big dreams. My hobbies were; swimming in the beautiful Gaza Sea and going out with my young family to the places they loved. My eldest child (Hani) he has light skin and long hair. He is 8 years old. He has dreams beyond his years. He reached the third grade of primary school, but the war destroyed his school, his educational career, and his future. Every day he learns of the news of the martyrdom of one of his friends, classmates, or his father’s friends, and this greatly affected his psychological state. While my daughter (Sila), who is 5 years old, used to go to kindergarten and enjoyed studying there and playing, but since the outbreak of the war, her kindergarten was bombed and
</div>
<div>she did not exercise her right to education. However, she experiences what is happening in her surroundings, just people running from one place to another..
</div>
<div>My youngest child (Jihad), 4 years old, has not yet realized that what is happening around him is war, but he is very afraid of the sounds of bombing and gunfire, because the shelter center in which my family is located was subjected to gunfire from the Israeli army and severe bombing close to it.
</div>
<div>That is why we have to leave the Gaza Strip to preserve our lives and try to restore the dreams and educational future that were destroyed.
</div>
<div>We need your support and assistance so that I can evacuate my family and preserve their lives and future
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for everything you do for me or my people.
