Sohel is a devoted husband and father who has always worked hard to support his family. Recently, Sohail was the victim of a horrific hate crime, suffering over 15 stab wounds. He is now in critical condition, facing multiple surgeries for his hands, heart, and lungs. The road ahead is long and uncertain, and his family is deeply worried about his recovery and well-being. 
 
 
 Sohail does not have health insurance, and the medical bills for his emergency care, surgeries, and ongoing physical therapy are overwhelming. As the main provider for his wife and children, Sohail’s absence has left his family in a vulnerable position, both emotionally and financially. Luna and those close to Sohail are reaching out for help to ensure he receives the care he needs and to support his family during this incredibly difficult time. 
 
 
 Please help us get Sohail the help he needs. Your support will go directly toward his medical expenses and rehabilitation, giving him a chance to heal and return to his loved ones. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. Thank you for your kindness and for standing with Sohail and his family.

<div>My name is Owice Aittaleb the owner of Amazigh Trade &amp; Design llc a U. S. Company doing business as Marrakech Connection and Zellige Tile Studio. We work directly with craftsmen and women of Morocco especially in Marrakech region.
</div>
<div>Many of our customers reached out to us asking how to help during these difficult times so we launched this initiative of helping people impacted by the deadly earthquake by raising funds to help people with medical supplies, food and clothing/blankets. 
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>We are not using any middle men or organization to minimize fees we have people on the ground that will be purchasing supplies distributing them to impacted people directly.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>As more news coming out of the Marrakech region we’re learning that remote villages in the Atlas Mountains are the most impacted where some small villages lost 80-90% of their population. We’re focusing our help on a small village that’s in the epicenter of the earthquake called Ijjoukak.

<div>We thank you for your support and please let us know if you have any questions.

Final update: all this work has now been completed! We have released a full accounting and financials of how the funds were used. In it you will find receipt letters and accounting reports from all the charities that were supported! To download the report: <a href="https://gofundme.com/c/lovearmy" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://gofundme.com/c/lovearmy</a> Enjoy everyone and thank you for all your trust, support, kindness. This was truly a team's effort. Wishing everyone good times ahead! The full story of this movement: For years we've been wanting to put the privilege of having an audience into ACTION and when we saw the famine happening in Somalia, we thought we had to do something.  Our first instinct was to google how to fly from New York to Somalia. We saw that Turkish Airlines was the only airlines flying there. So we asked ourself what if we could convince Turkish Airlines to let us use one of their flights to Somalia? And fill it with food! One shipment - providing immediate relief for an immediate need. That's how it all began <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495031995.5069_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /> and within 24 hours we made this idea public All together.  <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495030522.4332_funddescription.png" alt="" width="100%" /> It became a movement called LOVE ARMY FOR SOMALIA After a couple of hours, Turkish Airlines approached us with a positive answer !! <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1489716124.6287_funddescription.png" alt="" width="100%" /> And they made available for us a full cargo flight that can fly 60 tons of food. This first victory proved us how much power doesn't mean much individually, but has the potential to move mountains when we UNITE! That's why we decided to raise money all together and started this GoFundMe page 2 months ago. Because we didn't even have the time to create an official charity, Ben Stiller has generously let us use his charity STILLER FOUNDATION in order to receive and manage the funds. This means U.S. DONORS ARE ABLE TO WRITE THIS DONATION OFF THEIR TAXES if they wish. To get that tax receipt please email mg@dr-barbara-sturm.de after your donation. In 21 hours we raised 1 million dollars. Way enough to buy the 60 tons of food. So we used our flight and bought 60 tons of special food for malnourished babies named PLUMPY'SUP.  <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495031043.2636_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /> That is the product. And that is what the 60 tons we bought look like: <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495031067.735_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /> Then we took the flight to Somalia to make sure the food was being given to the people in need! <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495031163.504_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /> Buying those 60 tons of food has cost us exactly 155,938 Euro. About 166,371 USD. Which means we still had so much more to spend. So we decided to use the remaining fund to buy food locally. To support the Somali economy!! We teamed up with an NGO in Somalia called American refugee committee, run only by Somalis. They became the best partner we could have dreamed of. Because they are from here, knew exactly what was needed, and understand this country. This is the food we buy here and distribute: - Rice - Flour - Sugar - Porridge - Milk powder - Dates - And cooking oil And here are some pictures from our food deliveries: <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495032434.2497_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495037100.8826_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495032492.2895_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /> There is a huge misunderstanding that a country in "famine" doesn't have food. The truth is Somalia has plenty of food in its store &amp; markets. The problem is the drought has killed all the animals which often were the only source of income for the people. So without income, people are not able to buy food. The world needs to support Somalis with food &amp; water until the drought is over. Until new animals are bought again and food can grow again! For water, we've learned from multiple NGOs on the ground, that the most efficient thing to do is get water trucks to be delivered.  Each water truck is about $250 and about 10,000 liters.  <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495033056.0123_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />Here is a picture of the trucks. SO FAR, WE'VE DISTRIBUTED OVER 1000! TONS OF FOOD, ALL BOUGHT LOCALLY. AND OVER 3 MILLION LITERS OF WATER! AND OF COURSE THE 60 TONS OF BABY FOOD. This mission, because of all of you, is way more successful than any of us individually could have ever dreamed. But things in Somalia are getting worst and worst, and in many places, people are on the verge of dying from either cholera or severe diarrhea. There is no time to lose. And we need more help. That is why, now that we have 3 months of experience of execution on the ground with ARC, and that we are confident that what we are doing is actually having an impact and saving lives, we've decided to push the goal of this campaign to 2,7 million dollars. Just like to our first donors, the promise to you all is full transparency. Funds are handled by the Stiller Foundation, and at the end of the mission, we will publish online all the receipts so you will know where every single dollar went. Also, because of all the people that are here with us in Somalia to document the mission, we will be consistently posting updates on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, so you can all see first hand the successes of YOUR mission. And also the struggles sometimes that we have to go through. Here is a video from a french YouTuber "Le Grand JD" that joined us in Somalia and spent 1 week with us (with English subtitles) <iframe media_type="0" media_id="5tjXBg0838A" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/5tjXBg0838A/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe> We know this is possible to reach the $2.7 million. And if it is then we must. If we all make an extra effort to give, even just a little bit, we will get there. For those of you that can not give anymore, please talk to your friends/family or think of a creative way, if you look for it you will find a way!! Congrats to all of you for saving lives. Love Army. PS: more pictures from the last 2 months: <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495036767.9067_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495036780.3205_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495036907.3115_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495036833.1853_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495036843.1087_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495036862.9111_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495036883.0887_funddescription.png" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495036893.4657_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495037011.3912_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />That day our truck broke... wasn't the easiest day :) <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495038639.5679_funddescription.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" />They wanted to help with the water delivery :) young but strong!!!! <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495038670.3311_funddescription.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495038692.1386_funddescription.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495038707.975_funddescription.png" alt="" width="100%" /> Finally, we will leave you with a picture we were hesitant to share... <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495037282.0697_funddescription.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" /> When we arrived in this village the little girl on the left vas very dehydrated... and needed urgent help. Just next to her.. stand the cutest smile we found here. Those kids live in one of the villages the most hit by the drought, they are both malnourished (can confirm that after carrying them), many people have already died in his village. But, and it's a big BUT, you can see the smile on the boy's face... one of the most precious smiles we've ever seen. May this give us all hope that this is not too late and we can still save as many people as we can. We must. This mission relief for Somalia is built like a puzzle, with thousands of people bringing their own pieces to make it work. People that refuse to be complicit of this tragedy. We don't have to let those people die. We can act today. Join us today and play your part.  Love Army. <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/18953392_1495036183.6673_funddescription.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" />

We currently have over 2,100 Veterans on the roster. Our goal now is to prioritize this list to Veterans and Civilian personnel involved with operations, planning &amp; onsite execution. We will be collecting names for future missions on a new roster (<a href="https://goo.gl/forms/37SEWGvbeMLpcrvY2"><a href="https://goo.gl/forms/37SEWGvbeMLpcrvY2" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://goo.gl/forms/37SEWGvbeMLpcrvY2</a></a>), next mission could be as early as the 2nd week of December. More to come The funds we raise on this page will go towards providing transportation and supplies for the brave patriots that come and stand with us.   We'll be standing alongside peaceful water protectors, who've endured violent attacks from the private security funded by DAPL and more brutality and arrests at the hands of militarized police and DAPL security. We have full support of the Sioux tribe elders and will be cooperating with them every step of the way. <iframe media_type="0" media_id="6Ye4fPW8qPk" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/6Ye4fPW8qPk/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe> Here are some of what the protesters at Standing Rock have faced: Mace, sound cannons. sniper guns pointed at unarmed civilians, journalists being shot with rubber bullets, journalists being arrested for covering the protests, attack dogs unleashed on groups including children, elder Natives getting tased and violently arrest, protesters marked with numbers and kept in dog kennels after arrest...  On Nov 20, Morton County Sherrif Department forces attacked water protectors with water cannons in freezing temperatures and launched concussion grenades into a peaceful crowd. Several had to be treated for hypothermia and one protestor who was hit directly with a grenade has reportedly had her arm amputated as a result. Everyday becomes more evident that the defenders of America must stand with the Water Protectors. Let's stop this savage injustice being committed right here at home. If not us, who? If not now, when? Are you a hero? Are you honorable? Not if you allow this the be the United States. Please donate and pass this page along to your friends, family, coworkers and community members.

Please see our new campaign for more information here: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/forthe49" target="_blank"><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/forthe49" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.gofundme.com/forthe49</a></a> In the aftermath of the massacre at Pulse, Equality Florida made two promises. First, we would do everything we could to help the families of those killed and the survivors dealing with the physical and emotional pain of being targeted in the worst anti-LGBTQ hate crime in U.S. history. You helped us keep the first promise by contributing, online and in person, more than $9M. And we have kept our word that every penny we collected - even the interest that accrued on the funds - is going to the victims of Pulse. No staff or overhead. We’ve donated all of our time. On September 27th, those funds will be disbursed and now our attention must focus entirely on fulfilling the second promise - to honor the dead with action. Thoughts and prayers and symbols are not enough. We are committed to ensuring the lasting memorial is the real change of uprooting anti-LGBTQ hatred at the source. To keep this promise, we need you with us again. Our mission for the last 19 years has been to uproot bigotry and fight for equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Florida. Indeed, we fight for freedom for all Floridians to live without fear of violence, harm to their family, being fired from a job or refused service because of their sexual orientation and gender identity. The massacre at Pulse has made this vision a priority for millions more people in the state of Florida. We have never been closer to a huge breakthrough in LGBTQ protections in a state that will have ripple effects nationally. It is time for us to demand huge strides, not tiny measures, in changing the culture and the laws in Florida to ensure we stop the discrimination and violence that anti-LGBTQ hatred makes inevitable. We are asking you now to join us in achieving two goals that are ambitious but achievable if we have the courage to stand together. Banning anti-LGBTQ discrimination in Florida and passing gun violence prevention policies in the third most populous state in the country. Florida has a long and hateful history when it comes to the treatment of LGBTQ people and has been the springboard for national anti-gay campaigns from Anita Bryant to the Liberty Counsel. Florida-based groups have not only done harm here, they’ve exported their prejudice to states around the nation and other countries as well. But the tide has turned in our favor as hearts have softened and minds have opened in the wake of Pulse. Shame on us if we let this moment pass without pushing with all our might for the state to treat us all as equals under the law and to end easy access to weapons of mass slaughter. We are so very grateful to have found the resources to help these people and their families get services, make up for lost wages, heal wounds and begin to put their lives back together. Will you stand with us again and fulfill the promise of real change as the lasting memorial #ForThe49? Inspired by our work in the aftermath of Pulse, an anonymous donor will match the first $100,000 raised for this campaign. That means the gift you give today will be doubled!

We are heartbroken and angry that senseless violence has once again destroyed lives in our state and in our country. Gay clubs hold a significant place in LGBTQ history. They were often the only safe gathering place and this horrific act strikes directly at our sense of safety. June commemorates our community standing up to anti-LGBTQ violence at the Stonewall Inn, the nightclub that has become the first LGBTQ site recognized as a national monument. We have received a steady stream of emails and messages from those seeking to help or to make sense of the senseless. We make no assumptions on motive. We will await the details in tears of sadness and anger. We stand in solidarity and keep our thoughts on all whose lives have been lost or altered forever in this tragedy.
