<div>Hi my name is Adelelene and I am creating this fundraiser for my friend Samar in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Samar’s message
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Samar and I live in Al-Nuseirat camp, in the middle of the Gaza Strip. I am a mother of two children, and my family is facing unimaginable hardship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have been displaced more than seven times due to repeated conflicts. Each time, we have lost everything—our home, our belongings, our sense of safety. Most recently, our house was completely destroyed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My husband, who used to work as a mason, is now unemployed. He was shot in the stomach, and his spine was severely injured at the fifth vertebra. He cannot walk and requires constant care and medical attention.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We currently live in a rented house, surviving only through the kindness of donations from others. My children are constantly sick from hunger, thirst, environmental pollution, and lack of proper nutrition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are desperate. We need urgent support to survive. We need:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Food and clean drinking water for my children and family
</div>
<div>Rent assistance so we are not left homeless again
</div>
<div>Medical care and medicines for my husband, who cannot walk
</div>
<div>I appeal to the compassion of the world—please do not ignore us. Every contribution, no matter how small, can help my family survive. We are living through extreme suffering and uncertainty, and your support could save our lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of my heart, I ask you to stand with us, support us, and give us hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and generosity
</div>

Support Samar and her kids in Gaza

</div>


<div>I am Bilal Bakr Ashour, living in the Gaza Strip, Palestine.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Since the escalation of the genocide in the region, my life has been full of many challenges and hardships. Despite these difficult circumstances, I am determined to remain strong and support my family during these tough times. <strong>This campaign is aimed at raising funds to support myself and my family in light of the ongoing war that has deeply affected our lives.</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>I grew up in Gaza, where life was always filled with challenges. After years of political and economic tensions, the situation has become even more difficult with the escalation of violence in the area. I am striving to improve my personal situation and secure my family’s safety, but under the current circumstances, it has become increasingly hard to provide for our basic needs.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Challenges I Am Facing


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>• Losing my job due to security conditions.


</div>


<div>• Destruction of homes and infrastructure in our area.


</div>


<div>• Shortage of basic necessities such as food, water, and medicine.


</div>


<div>• Increased daily burdens on my family.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Purpose of the Campaign


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>I am here today to ask for your support through this GoFundMe campaign, to secure our basic needs and alleviate the suffering we are going through. The funds raised will help me to:


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>• Provide safe shelter.


</div>


<div>• Purchase food, water, and medicine for my family.


</div>


<div>• Fund educational and healthcare needs amidst the difficult situation.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Any contribution, no matter how small, will greatly help in improving our circumstances.</strong> Your donations will give us hope to face this difficult situation and alleviate the daily hardships we are experiencing. I would like to thank you in advance for all the support you offer to me and my family.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>My name is Creeana R. I am based in the United States and will manage this campaign for Bilal, sending all funds donated to him via bill pay apps or PayPal. I have personally verified Bilal via video call and ID. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Hope and Aid for Bilal's Family in Gaza

<div>Hallo, wir sind Mia und Sven.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​Um die Angststörung meiner Tochter zu besiegen, haben wir uns vorgenommen, alle Achterbahnen Deutschlands zu fahren. Den Mut und die Erfolgserlebnisse wollen wir nutzen, um ihre Alltagsängste besser in den Griff zu bekommen. Wir werden dies in unseren Videos noch näher erklären. Ihr könnt uns über <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mission_achterbahn?igsh=bnFncHdod25rZ2Nr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mission.achterbah?_r=1&amp;_t=ZG-95CzckEbSe8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TikTok</a> und <a href="https://youtube.com/@mission_achterbahn?si=wCbMBm1olsjUTCb0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shorts</a> auf unserer Reise begleiten.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​Nie hätten wir gedacht, so viel Zuspruch, Anteilnahme, Aufmerksamkeit und Unterstützung zu bekommen. Es wurde von mehreren die Frage geäußert, ob man uns auch finanziell unterstützen kann, daher haben wir dieses Funding ins Leben gerufen. Wenn ihr uns bei den Fahrtkosten, Eintrittsgeldern oder Unterkünften unterstützen möchtet, habt ihr hier die Möglichkeit dazu. Wenn ihr etwas spendet, dann bitte nur so, dass es euch nicht weh tut. Wir sind dankbar für euer Engagement, aber wir haben uns für diesen Weg entschieden und wir werden ihn auch tragen! Trotzdem freuen wir uns natürlich ungemein über eure Unterstützung – und dazu gehört in erster Linie euer unglaublicher Zuspruch!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​Auf unserer <a href="https://mission-achterbahn.de" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Homepage</a> werden wir berichten, wenn wir einen Teil unserer Reise durch eure Spenden finanzieren, und uns dort auch bei euch bedanken.
</div>
<div>Außerdem werden wir dort auch unsere nächsten Ziele bekannt geben. Wer uns dann mal treffen möchte, wird Gelegenheit dazu bekommen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​Ganz liebe Grüße
</div>
<div>Eure Mission Achterbahn
</div>

Unser Ziel ist die Angststörung meiner Tochter zu besiegen. 

<div>The woman I am fundraising for, is a 24 year old victim of illegal human trafficking. She has been separated from her child and her family. She has been brought to Europe to work as a prostitute against her will.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She doesn't have a place to live, no money, no papers, nobody to help her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We managed to contact her family, however they are too poor to come to Europe and pick her up and due to trauma caused by the forced prostitution the young woman cannot return to Vietnam by herself.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our goal is to get flight tickets for her and for someone from her family to come and pick her up and bring her back home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please help us!

</div>

<div><br />

Help a young woman return home

<div>Thank you for considering a donation, your help is urgently needed. Gaza has been in an enormous crisis, and your donations are largely spent as soon as they reach Abedallah.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Christa Robinson and I am a graduate student at Michigan State University who works on issues of social justice. Since early summer 2024, I have been creating fundraisers for Palestinian families at their request. My Gaza family has grown to 12 fundraisers, and some of those beneficiaries have met and have been helping each other. They share their lives with me, working through a language barrier, culture barrier, and a seven hour time difference to try and relay their stories to me. Over the last few months I have been there for births and deaths, birthdays, celebrations, sorrows, grief, and fears. They think of me as dear friends or family, and some of them even call me Mama Christa or Mama Christia. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My dear friends in Gaza have lived most of their lives under a brutal occupation and the last 15 months of their lives have been under a genocidal war. While there is a ceasefire now in Gaza, there is not an end to stochastic violence and ruthless blockades so Palestinians who were already subjected to widespread poverty must continually plead for donations in lieu of international support and humanitarian aid, lives of achievement notwithstanding. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My friends must now start over while grieving tremendous loss of life among their neighbors, friends, and family and amid unimaginable destruction. The entire civilian infrastructure and means of sustaining life was maliciously targeted. Over 90% of the homes have been destroyed, the health system has collapsed, churches and mosques have been obliterated, water and sewage treatment has collapsed, there is no electricity, and there is widespread disease and famine but little humanitarian aid or international aid. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My friends who are from the north are no longer speaking of their homes being reduced to rubble but that they have been reduced to dust. They have all witnessed death violence and destruction on a daily basis and have fled for their lives under fire. They have lived in tents that were quickly damaged by the winter weather and the hot summer sun, as well as by theft and vandalism. They have had many injuries due to the war, and sustained lung damage and infections from the conditions there. There are no psychological or counseling services made available to them, there is a blockade on transportation home, and it is largely up to each family to retrieve their dead and without tools to dig them out from under the rubble.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Individual fundraisers like these are an attempt to make up for the lack of infrastructure and application of international law. It can be very difficult and frustrating, however, as there seems to be an empathy gap for Palestinians, compared to other causes and their pleas are often ignored or held in great suspicion. The money that you see raised is spent as it comes in as prices have been astronomical and the will of potential donors to contribute has been tepid. Please help us change that by donating to this campaign and sharing it among your friends. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will be used to meet the basic needs of the beneficiary, including food, medicine, clothes, shelter, and household items, as well as transportation and for some, education costs. After months of war, they are starting a new life where they used to live, but now it looks as unrecognizable as it is unlivable. The funds will be transferred to the recipient using a wire transfer service (typically PayPal) or wired via international wire transfers to their bank.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With hope and gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Christa Robinson
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>p.s. Please read Abedallah's war story and plea below: 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m Abedallah from Gaza. I had a beautiful life before the war. I was working and studying at my university and graduated just months before the war began. Then war came upon us on October 7th, 2023, and so soon after my graduation day, I lost my university, my home, and my job to the war's destruction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been displaced twice and have suffered through many losses. The first time I was displaced from Gaza to Rafah living in a tent until it flooded after seven months. Then without shelter, I was forced to flee again to Deir al-Balah, where I have faced bombardment and lost dear friends to the attacks on school shelters and refugee camps. We Palestinians are barely surviving facing shortages of food and water. We lack basic necessities for survival, and now we are being displaced again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to thank you for reading my story, and I hope you support me so that I can stay alive in light of these difficult conditions that we, the displaced, are going through.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My friends, your help will make a difference in my life.

Help Abedallah Survive War in Gaza and Reach His Future

<div><strong><em>Update [Februar/2026]: 20.000 € erreicht – danke! Wir erhöhen das Spendenziel auf 40.000 €</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Liebe Unterstützer*innen,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>dank eurer großen Solidarität haben wir unser ursprüngliches Spendenziel von 20.000 € erreicht.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Dafür danken wir euch von Herzen!  &lt;3</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Diese Unterstützung hilft uns ganz konkret dabei, laufende Kosten unserer Beratungsstelle zu decken und unsere Arbeit für Gewaltbetroffene nach Flucht oder Migration fortzuführen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Leider hat sich unsere finanzielle Situation seitdem nicht entspannt.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nachdem uns im vergangenen Jahr die <em>Fördermittel für unser Projekt zu häuslicher Gewalt weggebrochen</em> sind, haben wir die Finanzierung einer halben Stelle aus eigenen Mitteln aufgefangen, um die Beratung nicht abbrechen zu müssen. Diese Entscheidung hat ein großes Finanzloch hinterlassen. Gleichzeitig ist die Finanzierung des Projekts, das jährlich etwa 200 Betroffene begleitet, ohnehin jedes Jahr aufs Neue unsicher.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hinzu kommen die <em>steigenden Kosten für die Notfallhilfe</em>. Das sind Gelder, mit denen wir den Beratungsnehmenden ermöglichen kurzfristig unterzukommen, Lebensmittel und Hygieneartikel für sich und ihre Kinder zu kaufen oder aber lebensnotwendige Anwaltskosten zu bezahlen. Wie im letzten Jahr auch nimmt der Beratungsbedarf weiter zu.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Deshalb haben wir uns entschieden, das Spendenziel auf 40.000 € zu erhöhen.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Die <em>zusätzlichen 20.000 €</em> ermöglichen es uns, unsere Arbeit auch 2026 aufrechtzuerhalten und auszubauen und eine Grundlage für 2027 zu schaffen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Mit eurer Unterstützung können wir:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>• </strong>Beratungsstunden<strong> absichern</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>• </strong>Dolmetsch- und Sprachmittlungskosten <strong>finanzieren</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>• </strong>unsere Mitarbeiter*innen <strong>entlasten,</strong> damit wir keine Beratungssuchenden mehr abweisen müssen
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>---
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Wer wir sind</strong>
</div>
<div>Wir, das Team von agisra e.V., setzen uns als Migrant*innenselbstorganisation seit 1993 für die Rechte von Menschen nach Flucht und Migration in Köln ein, die von geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt betroffen sind.
</div>
<div>Als autonome feministische Beratungsstelle beraten wir unabhängig von Herkunft, Aufenthaltsstatus, Religion, Behinderung, sexueller Orientierung oder Sprachkenntnissen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wir sind eine Fachberatungsstelle zu u. a.:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Menschenhandel
</div>
<div>• weiblicher Genitalverstümmelung (FGM/C)
</div>
<div>• Zwangsverheiratung
</div>
<div>• häuslicher und geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt sowie zu aufenthaltsrechtlichen Fragen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unsere Ratsuchenden haben häufig schwere Gewalt im Herkunftsland, auf der Flucht und/oder in Deutschland erlebt. Viele sind alleinerziehende Mütter, die alles daransetzen, ihre Kinder vor Gewalt zu schützen. Ein häufiges Anliegen ist z. B. die Sorge betroffener Mütter, dass ihre Kinder von weiblicher Genitalverstümmelung bedroht sind.
</div>
<div>In unserer Notfallsprechstunde wenden sich zudem immer mehr von Menschenhandel betroffene Personen an uns. Die Zahlen steigen seit Jahren kontinuierlich.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Durch unser vielfältiges Team können wir Beratung in rund 15 Sprachen anbieten; bei Bedarf arbeiten wir mit Dolmetscher*innen zusammen. So unterstützen wir jährlich etwa 800–1000 Menschen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Warum wir weiter auf Spenden angewiesen sind</strong>
</div>
<div>Als Migrant*innenselbstorganisation lebt agisra e.V. von der engagierten Arbeit unserer Mitarbeiter*innen. Neben der direkten Beratung übernehmen wir zahlreiche administrative Aufgaben – oft an der Grenze unserer Belastbarkeit. Außerdem werden wir unterstützt von langjährigen ehrenamtlichen Mitarbeiter*innen und Praktikant*innen.
</div>
<div>Dennoch mussten wir in den vergangenen Jahren mehrfach Aufnahmestopps verhängen und haben Beratungsanfragen abgelehnt.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>!!!Das möchten wir nicht mehr. Menschen, die unsere Unterstützung brauchen, sollen sie auch erhalten!!!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Angesichts unsicherer Finanzierungsstrukturen und steigender Nachfrage ist das ohne zusätzliche Spenden nicht möglich.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Wie ihr helfen könnt</strong>
</div>
<div>• <a href="https://gofund.me/1bb8fbcce" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spendet</a>, um unsere Beratungsarbeit nachhaltig zu sichern
</div>

</div>
<div>• Werdet <a href="https://agisra.org/aktiv-werden-spenden/foerderverein/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fördermitglied</a>, um uns langfristig zu unterstützen
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wir halten euch über unsere Situation auf dem Laufenden und danken euch herzlich für eure Solidarität.

Unterstützung für agisra e.V.: Spendet für unsere Arbeit

<div>Like many Congolese, my family has been deeply affected by the countless wars that have ravaged Congo. My grandparents and parents have lost children and siblings to these wars. They had to flee many times, leaving their homes and livelihood. In 2008, my grandparents, my aunties and uncles, had enough of losing their children and loved ones to these senseless wars. In the middle of the night, they grabbed all of us and fled to a refugee camp in Zambia, facing starvation and homelessness. We lost loved ones in the camp and endured immense hardship. These experiences drive me to launch this campaign, offering hope to my Congolese brothers and sisters in East Congo's displacement camps. I aim to raise funds, alongside Focus Congo, to provide clean water, food, and shelter to my Congolese brothers and sisters in the East and to raise awareness about the ongoing crisis. We are tired of war, losing loved ones, and stolen childhoods. Enough is enough. Please be a voice for Congo by participating in this challenge, donating, and using your creativity to make a difference.
