A new way to support the Abu-dagga family My name is Layla, and I have been supporting the Abu-dagga family for almost three years. I have watched this family endure unimaginable loss and hardship, and I am setting up this new GoFundMe campaign because they are missing out on vital support. Their previous campaign was set up through Chuffed and connected to PayPal. Unfortunately, this has made it difficult for many people to donate, as not everyone is able to donate through PayPal. Despite sharing their story every day and reaching thousands of people on social media, many supporters have been unable to donate because of the payment options available. I cannot allow this family to continue losing opportunities for help because of a platform issue. This is why we have created this new campaign — to make it easier for people to support them and to ensure that every person who wants to help has the chance to do so. Since the beginning of the genocide, Mohammed Abu-dagga and his family have experienced unimaginable tragedy. Their homes in Khan Yunis, Abasan Al-Kabira were targeted on the first day, and Mohammed lost 17 family members. He was forced to pull his children and his parents from under the rubble. Since then, the losses have continued, and his family has now lost around 70 loved ones, including another devastating loss just days ago. Today, Mohammed and his family are trying to survive without a home. They are staying in a room and rely on support for their most basic needs — food, clean water, rent, and everyday necessities. They have no stable income and no way to rebuild their lives without help. His six-year-old daughter Celine is suffering from rickets due to malnutrition, and like so many children in Gaza, she is facing the consequences of a lack of food and essential care. We are asking everyone who sees this campaign to please support this family if you can. A donation, no matter the amount, can help provide them with the basics they need to survive. If you have tried to support them before but could not donate through Chuffed, please redirect your support here. If you cannot donate, please share this campaign and help us reach someone who can. This family has been carrying unimaginable pain for years. They deserve to be seen, supported, and not forgotten. With deep gratitude Layla

For Raghad’s 19th Year: Help Her Build a Future for Herself and Her Bab. My name is Layla Ashoor, and I’ve known Raghad Abdullah Madi, and her family closely for almost three years. I’m a family friend, and I’ve been helping support their campaign during this time. My dear friend Raghad is turning 19. She should be entering this moment surrounded by stability, plans, and hope for the future. Instead, she is navigating a reality no young woman should have to face. Raghad is from Gaza. For nearly two years, her family has been surviving under unimaginable conditions, relying on the kindness of others to get through each day. Thanks to the generosity of supporters, their campaign has now raised over €35,000. These funds have been used over a long period to support the survival of a family of seven, urgent medical treatment, and basic needs under extremely difficult conditions where food, medicine, and essentials are scarce and expensive due to ongoing siege conditions. The past months have been especially devastating. Raghad’s 15-year-old brother was shot while trying to reach humanitarian aid. He suffered a severe spinal injury and a ruptured abdomen, and since then, he has been in and out of hospital, undergoing multiple surgeries and fighting life-threatening infections. For eight long months, this family has been living between fear, hope, and survival. Through all of this, Raghad has been a pillar for her family. She continues her studies, studying Commerce in English at Al-Azhar University, holding on to her education as a lifeline for a better future. She is currently living in a tent under extremely difficult conditions and still tries to continue her education whenever possible. In the midst of all this, Raghad’s life has also changed in other ways. A few months ago, she got married—stepping into a new chapter of responsibility and adulthood while still carrying so much for her family. Now, she is also preparing to become a mother. This should be a time of support, safety, and hope. Instead, she is facing uncertainty about how to prepare for her baby while still surviving day to day. That’s why this moment matters. This campaign is not just about immediate support—it’s about helping Raghad build a basic level of stability as she enters this new chapter of her life, so she is not left carrying these responsibilities alone while continuing her studies and preparing for motherhood. Your support can help: • Provide essential needs for her pregnancy and upcoming newborn • Help her continue her studies while living in a tent under extremely difficult conditions • Provide a laptop so she can study properly • Help her maintain basic stability during this period of her life Even the smallest contribution, or simply sharing her story, can make a difference. Let’s come together to support Raghad as she enters this new chapter of her life—so she knows she is not alone, and that people care about her and her child’s future. Thank you for being here. Layla

Description Students in Gaza are continuing their education under extremely difficult circumstances. Many are determined to study, attend online classes, and access learning materials—but they lack one essential tool: a laptop. Without access to a device, students are unable to keep up with coursework, download materials, or participate fully in their education. This campaign aims to provide reliable laptops to students who need them most, starting with an initial goal of £5,000. Device costs vary depending on what is being let in. A mid-range estimate is around $1,000, but prices go up because crossings are often closed and what comes in is limited. This means our first milestone will support approximately 4–5 students, depending on pricing. This is not a one-time effort. It’s the beginning of an ongoing commitment to support students in Gaza with access to education and opportunity.
