I was talking to Abdullah about life before the war and this is what he said “For its inhabitants, Gaza was the best place in the world, even though it was occupied. There were job opportunities, there were homes, and everything was truly fine. Nothing was complicated. But when this war came, it turned our lives upside down for the worse.” Last night there were terrible rains that destroyed many peoples tents and soaked all their belongings. Abdullah said he feels completely helpless right now because he has no money to fix the tent, but his family won’t survive the whole winter under these conditions. He sits alone in his tent right now because he sent this child and wife to stay with her family. Please help this beautiful family. ANYTHING HELPS!! ❤️

Abdullah and I had a conversation recently that I wanted to share that sheds light on his situation before the war. Here’s what he told me… “I have a medical laboratory degree and before the war I worked in a private laboratory, but it was destroyed in the war and I didn't find an opportunity in my field during the war because I was responsible for another family besides my wife and child. Because I had to volunteer for at least six months before starting work, and I needed money, I was forced to do any job to earn it. So I worked in the market, selling goods, doing small-scale trading, anything that would bring in money, even if it was a little. I was responsible for my sister and her three children because her husband was a prisoner of the occupation and was released a short time ago.”

Mohammed needed kidney surgery and now he is in extreme debt. The money you donate will now also be going towards paying off this debt ❤️ thank you and stay safe

Hello, my name is Halle and I meet Mohammed on Instagram. He reached out to me asking to make him a GoFundMe and when I heard his story and knew I needed to help. Mohammed is married with children and they all live in a tent in Gaza. He has a 7, 6, 3, and 1 year old. He told me one day he was going out to get food for his family and the place was bombed and he sustained a head injured (see the photos above). Lucky he survived but now he can’t leave his tent because he gets too dizzy when he stands, especially in the hot sun. Gaza used to be a beautiful place to live, but now it is filled with constant death and destruction. Mohammed used to live a normal life with a house, car, and a small shawarma restaurant but now everything he worked so hard for has been destroyed. Even the ones he loves most have been taken from him. During this war, his sister and her baby died from preeclampsia and his father had to have his leg amputated because their house was bombed and the house collapsed on him. Mohammed has to carry the burden of grief with him everyday while also trying to stay strong in front of his kids. Mohammed is hoping to get donations to help fix his tent before winter comes. He told me he stayed up all night because he’s scared his children will get eaten by the stray dogs. He also wants to provide everyone with food, warm clothing, and one day even be able to send his kids to school. Here is a paragraph he wanted me to share with you ❤️ “Hello, I am a father of children living in Gaza, Palestine, amid the ongoing war. I am the sole provider for my two children, and our lives have been extremely difficult. Sadly, I was injured in my head during the war, and I desperately need financial assistance to receive medical treatment and recover from my injury. I have also lost my home and have nowhere safe to live. Every day is a struggle to survive, provide food for my children, and get the medical care I need. I am reaching out to you with a humble heart, asking for your kindness and support. Any help, no matter how small, would make a huge difference in my life and my children's lives. Your support could help me get the treatment I need and provide my children with food and basic necessities. Please do not forget us. We are living through unimaginable hardships, and your kindness could give us hope for a better future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion and generosity. May God bless you and reward”

Hello! My name is Halle and I’m fundraising on behalf of a young man who lives in Gaza. Bassam is only 18 years old and has already lived through so much. The most recent war in Palestine began Oct. 7th 2023 and nothing has been the same since. There are constant sounds of planes and drones overhead. Death is a way of life. Bassam Essam Al-Helou is the only child of his mother and father. Sadly, his father passed 6 months ago. Bassam told me he went to wake him up and he never got up again. So it’s only Bassam and his mother now, living in a very small tent. His mother has been diagnosed with chronic high blood pressure because of the constant stress of living in Gaza and she also has an enlarged thyroid gland. She needs treatment urgently but there is no way to make money in Gaza. I also wanted to let everyone know she doesn’t want her picture shown for safety and religious reasons. The other photos shown in this fundraiser our screenshots from a video Bassam sent me if his tent. Bassam wants to live life like any normal young adult. He has even registered for college to study nursing but has no money to pay the fees. Donations will go towards everyday things like food but also to paying these fees so that he can eventually provide a better life for his mother and himself. Please consider donating or sharing the link so this family can have a better future.

Hello! My name is Halle and I started this fundraiser on behalf of my friend Saeed who I met online through his cousins, who I also fundraise for. Saeed Maher Al-Hilo is a 21 year old who lives in Gaza. He workers in a small supermarket three days a week but the salary is very low and not enough to pay for his family’s needs. Saeed lives with his mom, dad, and two of his three siblings. They live in a dilapidated apartment where the rent is very high. It takes all of his salary to pay the rent and then there is no money left over for food and other necessities. His two brothers are married but only one lives at home because there isn’t enough room for the other, along with his wife and four kids. The brother who lives in the home is a newlywed and his wife is currently pregnant. Saeed also has a sister who is currently a university student studying resuscitation and anesthesia. There are a lot of hope and dreams in this family but it is hard to get anything done in life without money. Here is a message Saeed wanted me to share with you… “My name is Saeed Maher Al-Hilo from Gaza, Palestine. I work every day, but my salary is very low and it's not enough to support my family. My family's situation is very difficult. My dream is to enter university and continue my education, and to open a small project so I can support myself and my family and build a decent future.“ With your donation, Saeed will buy food, pay rent, and prepare for the fast coming winter. Please help with his families survival ❤️

Sohaid’s parents have been diagnosed with high blood pressure because of the extremely stressful conditions in Gaza. There is no money for medication and Sohaid feels useless. Please donate!!

Hi! My name is Halle and I started this fundraiser on behave of my friend Mohammed Abdel Fattah Al-Helou. I met Mohammed online through his cousin Mahmoud, who I also fundraise for. Mohammed is 33 years old and lives in Gaza with his wife and four children. The two oldest are Zeina and Majd, they are 11 and 10 years old. The younger ones are Jawad and Hanan who are 8 and 5 years old. Mohammed worries about his children, like any good father, but they are living through very difficult circumstances that they have no control over. In Gaza there are constant bombings and therefore dangerous living conditions all around them. From rats and bugs, to broken down buildings threatening to fall at any moment. There are also no jobs available and so there is no money that can be made. Mohammed hopes that by starting this fundraiser he can afford basic necessities like a warm, dry place to live and food to feed his family. Right now he lives in a tent that is barely holding up and he is scared it won’t keep them from freezing to death this winter. He also hopes to send his children to school but needs money to pay the school fees. All children deserve to go to school, to learn and make friends. Here is what his wife wanted to share about her life… “Hello dear Hali, I am Mohamed El Helou's wife. My name is Samar Alaa Abdel Razek El Helou. My father died before the war, during Ramadan. My four brothers were martyred in the war; the occupation planes bombed the house while they were inside. I was left with my mother, two sisters, and my brother, who was married and was martyred before his wife gave birth. After she gave birth, his wife died, leaving my nephew alone.” Please consider donating and sharing this link so that this wonderful family has a chance at a better life.
