<div>Happy Holidays to you and your family!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Dalia Salloum and I am a Palestinian American educator living here in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have deep love for both my Utah family and my Palestinian family. I have been working with many community members here in Utah to help raise funds for direct aid to families and friends in Gaza. We initially started these efforts to evacuate people when the genocide began last October. We successfully helped evacuate a few families; some have even made it to safety right here in the Salt Lake Valley!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, the borders have been closed, and thousands have been displaced, living in the most unimaginable conditions. Many children are starving. There is a small collective of us here boosting our efforts this holiday season and encouraging our fellow Utahns, <strong>YOU</strong>, to help us reach a goal of <strong>$25,000</strong> to split between several families. <strong>With our hearts in our hands, we ask you to reach into your pockets (and phones) and donate at least the amount you would spend on a hot cocoa while you shop for gifts and items for the holidays.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We spend so much money on creature comforts here in the United States, we spend on gifts, and we spend on supplies to survive. Can we spend just a little more to feed hungry children and their families?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will help our sponsored families buy much needed items such as flour, bread, milk, diapers, clean water, blankets, winter clothes, and other necessities that have become very expensive with the lack of availability due to blocking of aide.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All of our families are in direct communication with community members here in the Salt Lake Valley and Utah Valley. Funds raised go directly to these families by various transfer methods such as PayPal, Western Union, and direct bank transfers. Your donations will reach people in Gaza directly!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every little bit helps!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Merry and bright.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here are some photos of the specific families we’ve been working with over the last year:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. <strong>Ghanim Family</strong>: Hanin Ghanim has been an invaluable resource throughout the last year. When evacuations were still a possibility, she helped us figure out the safest and most secure ways to transfer funds globally. Hanin and her family are currently displaced living in a partially demolished building in Khan Younis in the South of Gaza. They are currently in need of funds to pay for food and daily neccessities. She shared that she recently had her first apple in over a year, and it costed 5 dollars!

<div><br />
</div>
<div>2. <strong>Al-Sabakhi Family</strong>: Abdul Majid, pictured here, is 20 years old and he did NOT look like this at the start of the war. As you can see, he is currently on the brink of starvation due to the lack of resources. He and his family were trying to evacuate, and like many other, were unable to due to the closing of all the borders. Abdul was unable receive a medical evacuation as he is over 18 years old. Abdul's family is currently in direct communication with our local hero, Sireena Bseiso, who escaped from Gaza with her 11 year old son and mother. Many people here in Utah know Sireena and her family well, they are always working tirelessly to help their family and friends survive this nightmare in Gaza. Sireena says the funds delivered now (and there is DIRE need here) are required to prepare for the winter months. Tarps, tent supplies, blankets, heating sources, are all much needed for this family to survive.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>… We are actively working with local organizers to assess where the most need is. This list of families is still in progress and we hope to add more if YOUR generosity allows.

Hot Cocoa for Gaza Holiday Drive

<div>Hello, my name is Trent Powelson. I am raising funds for my friend Ahmed Al-Baghdadi and his family, who were forced to flee their home near Gaza City after the israeli army bombed their neighborhood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ahmed and his family are currently living in a tent in Rafah with the constant fear of death looming over them, be it from israeli bombs, starvation, disease, or some other hellish fate brought on by this genocide.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The family consists of 10 people: Tareq (the father), Ghada (the mother), Mohammed, Nour, their baby Tareq (who was born a month into this onslaught), Ahmed, Heba, Bisan, Farah, and Karim.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These funds will be used however the family sees fit, whether to evacuate into Egypt or for survival within Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>I am writing these words with a hurt heart and I ask for your generous help to help me and my family. It has been over 200 days of the genocide; because of; we are homeless living in a tent.

I am the middle son, 23 years old, and Alyan is 19 years old. Each one of us is jobless now and I fear that I will lose a member of my family due to the continuous barbaric bombing. We feel as if we are waiting for our turn to die.

Help Moayed Alharazin's Family Safety and Future

<div>Hi I'm Grae from Salt Lake City Utah! (@no.wheygrae on IG) I am putting this fundraiser together for the Sabrin family. Sabrin is a mother of 4 sons, 3 daughters, and grandmother to 2 grandchildren. They are tragically caught in the middle of the war in Gaza. Currently, they are taking shelter in a tent in Al Moasey. They have been displaced several times, already. I was moved to organize for them after getting to know the eldest brother Mohammed and the sister Shomoa. Mohammed is 25 (just two years older than me) and before the war he worked hard to earn a degree in English Literature degree from Al Azhar University Gaza. He graduated in 2022 and has been working as a Search Engine Optimizer to provide from his family since then. But the war changed everything.

<div><strong>What the family has to say to you:</strong>
</div>
<div>Once you lose everything. Your home, your job, you're beloved ones, you start losing hope in anything in the world , but instead of giving up we wanted to reach the world as a last battle with our struggle. We trust you to support us leave this zone ❤️

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here's their family story from the beginning of the war in Mohammed's words:</strong>
</div>
<div>After the war began in Gaza, the whole neighborhood that we live in got bombed; the sound and destruction were massive. I looked outside the window and found the sky turned red for a while and nearly everything around turned to rubble. It was a fear that no one in my family has ever felt or imagined, and it was just the beginning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then we rushed to get outside the house ASAP before it is our home's turn. We ran away from death with fear and tears, saw fire and people running and screaming everywhere. It took us too long to find another place; we walked for two days, the worst journey of our lives. We saw destruction that no human brain can imagine and got too close to dying on the way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When we finally arrived, we were exhausted and hungry, and we found ourselves in the middle of the street away from home and in a completely different area. It was a really tough feeling. It was at that moment I realized that our life changed forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have never thought that I would see my family literally in the street, with no food and no water or even hope. We lost everything. My mom closed her eyes with her hands and started to weep, and my father cried too, but he did the best he could to hide it (he is a very sensitive man). My younger siblings started crying too and hugging mom and dad, and I wanted to make it easier for them, but how?! I couldn't. I was traumatized, except for a hug.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The first days in the street were a complete nightmare. It was an insanely harsh and cold environment. My married sister and her children, Ameer and Amal, joined us too. Now we live in a tent, but we can't keep on. Please help us get outside the death zone we are in real danger. If war didn't kill us yet, soon famine and diseases certainly will.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

<div><strong>✨Every donation keeps us away from danger. We are so thankful for every person who is opening their heart to share our story and donate. We wish we were in our homes and not asking for your money. ✨</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How will the funds be used? (all USD)</strong>
</div>
<div>The goal now is to evacuate the 11 family members from Gaza. Like many, they will use the "Ya Hala" agency to evacuate them. A detailed list of expenditures is below:
</div>
<div>To evacuate via Ya Hala:
</div>
<div>$5000 for each person, 11*5000= $55,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Two months of temporary living expenses in Egypt, including food, shelter, and transportation:
</div>
<div>$2500 for the family
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Passport fees:
</div>
<div>$100 for each person, 100*11=$1100
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>GoFundMe platform fees:
</div>
<div>(Note: GoFundMe takes about 2.9% of each donation, and we are expecting fees when wiring the funds. $58,600 is the total from the three items listed above.)
</div>
<div>2.9% of $58,600 = $1699.40
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wiring fees:
</div>
<div>(Note: I personally know friends who have wired funds with the same transfer service and this is how we calculated the figure below)
</div>
<div>approximately $700
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Deduction for what was raised on "Go Get Funds" platform:
</div>
<div>Deduct $206
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Total=$60,794
</div>

Sabrin Family asks the world "Get us Out of Gaza"

This is from one of the nicest people I have met in the sport so far.  These kids seriously work just to stay in the game and this is a major set back.  Please help, even if it is a couple bucks.  I'll start it with a $100.  Blue Skies!<br />From Sarah-<br />On Sunday morning, I was hugged by many skydivers that I've never even met. My initial post has been shared by almost 50 people in 4 different countries. People have offered to let me borrow their gear, and help me find and buy new gear. Some friends skipped the party just to come help us out because they spoke Spanish and are police back at home. My housemates have put their own losses aside to help find my rig. Matt helped me out so much while packing on Sunday as I sat there on the verge of tears. My CK family has sent me so much love. I'm just floored by the outpouring of love in the skydiving community. I just wanted to say thank you for that, and I can't wait to get back in the air with everyone.
