<div>Hi, my name is Celine Akinyi and I'm fundraising for Pacific Kerubo Moraa 
</div>
<div>I’m raising funds on behalf of my friend Pacific, 28, who lives in Nairobi, Kenya, and urgently needs surgery to remove a large ovarian cyst that doctors say could rupture at any time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have known Pacific since she was 13 years old. She is one of the most hardworking, kind, and resilient people I know. For many months, she has been living with intense abdominal pain that disrupted her daily life. After medical examinations, doctors discovered that the cause was a large ovarian cyst that now requires urgent surgical removal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of the high cost of surgery and related medical care, Pacific cannot cover the expenses on her own. I am collecting these funds on her behalf and will personally ensure they are sent directly to support her treatment and recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any contribution (big or small) will make a real difference in helping Pacific get the urgent care she needs. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign would also mean so much to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time.
</div>

Surgery funds

<div><strong>Do you know what it’s like to watch your family starve? I do.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Hani Almadhoun, and my family and friends live in the North of Gaza, Palestine. Most aid is being blocked at the border, and there isn’t nearly enough to fight back the famine or save my loved ones. So we decided to do something about it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/72608719_1709272870853334_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My brother, Mahmoud Almadhoun, and his friends volunteered to start a soup kitchen in Bait Lahia, to provide hot meals to friends and neighbors. They bought four large pots, purchased wood for the fire, and risked their lives to dig up potatoes. They also purchased tomato paste and cooking oil, and three hours later, 120 families had food for the day. The next day 150 starved families ate from the kitchen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Word spread rapidly, and the next day, even more neighbors arrived. Mahmoud sprang into action, venturing out to procure ingredients for a fresh meal. He returned with leafy greens, onions, and mushrooms, crafting a new dish that was as delightful as it was nourishing. The kitchen's capacity has now expanded to accommodate meals for up to 3000 people daily, and the numbers continue to grow. For many, this was their first substantial meal in days, and the departure from canned food was a welcomed change that filled hearts with gratitude.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/72608719_1709300286167748_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You may wonder why these individuals can accomplish something that few have managed to do in the heart of starvation in Gaza. That would be a fair question.
</div>
<ul>
<li>First, Bait Lahia has some farms where veggies and wild greens are now in season.
</li>
<li>We made sure they had the money to purchase these hard-to-find items.
</li>
<li>Additionally, they are located in the heart of the market, so they can easily spot any of these veggies and cooking essentials arriving at the market.
</li>
<li>They have also visited farms close to the Green Line to find veggies and have been lucky a few times. Once, they purchased overgrown zucchinis that should have been picked weeks ago.
</li>
<li>Mom and my sisters lovingly wake up early to peel and prep the food for the day's meals.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/72608719_1709300327534481_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your assistance can help us bring sustenance to an area with minimal aid, where children face the harsh reality of starvation.</strong> This personal initiative, coordinated with our family in North Gaza, ensures transparency. Your contribution, starting at five dollars, can provide a hot meal to desperate families enduring challenging conditions, intentionally isolated from the rest of the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your $5, $10, $50 will go a long way with this initiative. We also need you to pray for their safety as they do this heroic work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds from GoFundMe will be transferred to this crew in Gaza to make sure they still do this work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Hot meals 4 Starved Palestinian Kids in north Gaza

<div>In 2018, a group of volunteering students launched a charitable campaign entitled @Ele_Elna_Elak, which means in Arabic, “<em>What we own, you own...</em>” in a clear message to our belief in social solidarity and that we must all provide assistance to those in need... through... For the past six years, we have been providing food, warm clothes and blankets in the winter to thousands of families in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During this war, we and our families were subjected to displacement, bombing, and starvation, as happened to all people of the Gaza Strip, but we decided to continue helping families in need under these dire circumstances, to obtain:-
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>- Fresh food, vegetables, flour, and other necessary food supplies
</div>
<div>- Raising funds to be able to buy what the family needs, such as water, firewood, medicine, clothes, etc.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our team members are spread all over Gaza strip, the North, the South and the middle area, so we will be working in the whole areas in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How your donations will reach Ele Elna Elak:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since the money raised can't be sent directly to Ele Elna Elak via GoFundMe, I will be withdrawing the money to my bank account. From there, the money will be sent directly to the team at Ele Elna Elak via wire transfer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>في عام ٢٠١٨ اطلق مجموعة من الشباب الجامعيين المتطوعين حملة خيرية بعنوان "إللي إلنا إلك" ، وهذا يعني بالعربية " ما نملكه نحن.. تملكه أنت.." في رسالة واضحة إلى ايماننا بالتكافل الاجتماعي وأننا جميعًا يجب أن نقدم المساعدة لمن هم في حاجتها.. خلال الستة سنوات الماضية كنا نقدم الطعام للعائلات المحتاجة والملابس الدافئة والاغطية في الشتاء..
</div>
<div>وخلال هذه الحرب، تعرضنا مع عائلاتنا للتهجير والنزوح والتجويع كما حدث لكافة سكان قطاع غزة، ولكننا قررنا أن نستمر في مساعدة العائلات المحتاجة في ظل هذه الظروف القاهرة، للحصول على:-
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>１-	الطعام الطازج والخضراوات والطحين وباقي المستلزمات الغذائية الضرورية
</div>
<div>２-	جمع الأموال لتتمكن من شراء ما تحتاجه الأسرة، مثل الماء والحطب والأدوية والملابس وغيرها.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>متطوعينا موجودين في كافة مناطق قطاع غزة، في الشمال والوسطى والجنوب.. لذلك سنعمل في كتفة المناطق التي هي بحاجة للمساعدة.

Vegetables, food, and water for Palestinian families

<div><strong>Dear Friends, </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Nasser Haj Ahmed, a Palestinian citizen and a resident of the United States. My wife and I are proud taxpayers in New Jersey. We were planning to have a happy stable life, and eventually build the future of our six children, Nidal and his pregnant wife Islam, Ashgan, Ali, Mohammed, and Hanan, in Gaza. However, they are currently trapped in Rafah with no way out, facing constant bombardment and lack of basic human rights.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've launched this campaign to bring them out of Gaza for their safety. Unfortunately, this process comes with significant expenses. The funds raised will go towards covering the costs of their transportation, temporary housing, and other essential expenses related to the evacuation process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help reunite our family and ensure their safety during these challenging times. Thank you for your generosity!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Introduction</strong>
</div>
<div>My children spent six difficult days in western Gaza City under firebelts, phosphorus bombs, and sea boat shells. They had to flee the house twice in the middle of the night, and on October 13 the army called them and ordered them to evacuate to the south. They couldn't carry much luggage with them, they had to leave a lot of things. They tasted the two things to get to Rafah after they had to be displaced three times, they finally arrived at Rafah, which is classified as the last uncontrolled area in the Gaza Strip. Read more about the danger of staying in Rafah <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-six-week-drive-hit-hamas-rafah-scale-back-war-2024-02-19/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Destruction of our home</strong>
</div>
<div>My children were lucky when they left for the south because on October 21, the army entered the west of Gaza, and they bombed my house where my unmarried children reside, they took the remains of the house as a military barrack and no one could get there to take a photo. Also, On October 30, the building where my son Nidal used to live, who got married three months before the war, was bombed causing severe damage to his apartment. It is noteworthy that the rest of the property was stolen in the two homes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78144305_1709040371386773_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How my children live in the south?</strong>
</div>
<div>After fleeing their homes in Gaza and being displaced five times they lived in a small room in our relatives' home with several families before they had to search for a tent because the area is not safe anymore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Daily life has become impossible for my children because they are suffering from cold due to lack of clothes, constant fear of being bombed, distress, monopoly of goods, high prices, the hostility of residents, airborne illnesses, lack of resources such as electricity, clean drinking water, and hygiene kits. Also, they face malnutrition since they have to reduce food rations so they can all suffice, most days eat canned in the absence of fruits, vegetables, and proteins.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Notably, Hanan, my youngest daughter, suffers from asthma and air pollution has taken a major toll on her health and ability to breathe. That's why she needed to double the doses of asthma medication.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My attempts to save them</strong>
</div>
<div>I found myself in front of a cruel crossroads between my need to save my children who needed to pay coordination of the Rafah crossing, which cost $5,500 per person, and my principles as a 62-year-old self-made man who lived independently for years and raised his children to take responsibility without asking for financial assistance. More details about evacuation process out of Gaza, including its costs <a href="https://amp.theguardian.com/global-development/2024/jan/08/palestinians-flee-gaza-rafah-egypt-border-bribes-to-brokers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who were my children before the war?</strong>
</div>
<div>My children were always professionally successful, financially independent, and able to take responsibility, but the war forced them to spend a lot of their savings under the obscene boiling and monopoly of goods and seven months of suspension, that they had nothing left to help them get out of Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each of them had great success in his field of work. They tried to build a decent life without anyone's help. They had so many dreams, plans, and projects that they could not carry out as the war began but they lost their jobs and livelihoods.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78144305_1709129299734425_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My wife and I are in exile</strong>
</div>
<div>We live alone now, try to take care of each other, and work to support ourselves and pay our taxes. I go to work 12 hours for five days, she goes to work for 8 hours on Saturdays, and then we spend the rest of the time waiting for our children's calls especially when the Internet is cut off, and watching the news while anxious eats our bodies and minds daily of the possibility of losing our children and not seeing them again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One day, we just had one meal when we knew that our children had divided food between them so that they would suffice, and once we had a whole week of playgrounds because our children ate nothing else but that we were suffering from insomnia and we could not stop feeling guilty and helpless.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Last word</strong>
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how small, will have a significant impact on my children's lives, your generosity can be the lifeline that ensures their safe passage to a more secure environment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, let us make a profound difference in the lives of those who matter most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being the ray of light in my family life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>With gratitude,</strong>
</div>

Help Immigrant Parents Save Their Children in Gaza

<div><strong>Sama and her 4 children, sick mother, and husband are trapped in Rafah, and need your help to evacuate to safety and access humanitarian needs.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Sama Hussain, 37 years old, a mother and a writer from Gaza. I have 4 children, the eldest of whom is Yazan who is 15 years old. Nour is 11 years old. Ahmed is 7, and my youngest is Joud - who is only 5. We are currently displaced in Rafah, living in dire humanitarian conditions inside a makeshift tent with my husband and elderly sick mother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79078607_1711227781100366_r." width="100%" />
<div><em> Yazan (15), Nour (11), Ahmed (7), and Joud (5) before the war.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As an award-winning novelist, I never expected to have to craft words under such harrowing circumstances to save my own life and the life of my family. But this is now my story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79078607_1711228092197514_r." width="100%" />
<div><em> Sama with Ahemd (7) and Joud (5) before the war</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I write today with a heart heavy with pain and worries. As I write these words, I remember pictures of our demolished home that was destroyed because of the ongoing devastating war in Gaza. I see my children in front of me and feel heartbroken for how pale and emaciated they have become due to ongoing fear and malnutrition. I feel devastated for my husband, who lost his livelihood and everything he has worked so hard to provide us. I feel scared for my elderly sick mother, who needs peace and care. And I long for my own lifelong dream of reaching the pinnacle of writing and cultural creativity for my community.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><em> Joud (5) in our home before the war</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before this devastation we used to live in Tal Al Hawa neighborhood in Gaza City. We all lived together and enjoyed a beautiful and quiet life until October 7th. Since the beginning of the war, our house has been bombed, our neighborhood flattened, our community scattered, and we have now been displaced 5 times seeking safety. We have lost many relatives from our extended family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

<div><em> The nylon tent in Rafah that Sama and the family are using as shelter</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And now, we all live in Rafah in dire humanitarian conditions on the southernmost part of the Gaza Strip. We constructed our own nylon tent – with nowhere else to go. The tent does not protect us from cold or heat, as we continue to face tremendous challenges to access basic necessities. My poor mother is sick and needs treatment and proper nutrition. She suffers from advanced Osteoarthritis and high blood pressure. My middle son, Ahmed, needs constant medical attention. All my children need professional child psychological support and care. None of these options are available for us anymore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79078607_1711228286453669_r." width="100%" />
<div><em> Ahmed (7) in the makeshift tent</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I lost my own passion for dreaming. I dreamed of establishing a cultural club and a public library for children in the Gaza Strip before the war. Now everything is destroyed, so are our dreams - gone and scattered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My children lost their childhood, their education, and their laughter. The only thing I can now fight for is their safety, their lives, and their futures.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I asked dear friends to create this fundraising campaign because I need your help in providing financial support to facilitate our evacuation to safety in Egypt, as well as to cover the treatment costs for my mother and son. The money collected here will be used to cover travel costs in addition to the costs for accommodation, basic necessities, and health care. <strong>These costs for the 7 of us will be around £16,000 GBP (roughly $20,000 USD)</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sadly, we have lost all our savings because of the war, and now need to humbly ask for the support and kindness of strangers to help raise this amount. We have run our of options.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we can reach safety in Egypt, we will start collecting what remains of our lives. I can attend to the health of my mother and children. I will be able to provide my children with the necessary education they have been desperately missing. I can also return to writing and start pursuing my dream again, to provide a future for my family. I want all children to read more, create more, educate more, and be the hope for a better life for the next generation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who will contribute to our support.

Support Sama and her family to evacuate from Gaza

<div><br />


</div>





<div>Hello , I'm Reham, a mother from Gaza, Palestine. I have a 2-year-old son named Zaid, before a devastating war tore through our lives, my husband and I had built a small business and a warm home filled with love and memories in Gaza.





</div>





<div><span> </span><span>On October 7th, everything changed, Our home and business were destroyed in the conflict, We had to flee to the southern part of Gaza, amidst relentless bombings escaping a trail of destruction and chaos, leaving everything behind, with only the clothes on our backs ,We lost everything we don’t have any source of income.</span>
</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div>We shelter in a small house cramped with 80 others, living in constant fear,without electricity, My son suffering from an intestinal infection due to the dire conditions, and there was no insufficient medical care in our displacement , My family is suffering from a lack of food and also a lack of healthy drinking water, which caused us severe stomach pain, and my whole family became infected with hepatitis A. Due to the conditions imposed by the occupation and siege and the lack of resources, it has been difficult for us to provide my son with basic and simple needs, such as milk and diapers. If food is found, it is cooked on firewood and it is completely unhealthy and tastes bad because of the firewood. 




</div>




<div>This is how we making food on firewood, and no clean water no filters. <br />




</div>




<div><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78326803_1716501353871080_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="78326803_1716501353871080_r.jpg" /><br />




</div>




<div><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78326803_1716501363757195_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="78326803_1716501363757195_r.jpg" /><span><br /></span>




</div>




<div><span>and we've been cut off from the world without internet amidst the constant sound of war, For over three months, we lived through unimaginable conditions.</span>




</div>





<div><br />



</div>





<div><br />





</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78326803_1708115090199383_r." width="100%" />

<div><br />





</div>





<div>My son, who is just learning to speak, repeats words like "bombing sound, ambulance " and "I'm afraid" instead of enjoying a normal childhood. He was crying due to the continues shelling and big explosions , We've lost family members and friends, and every day brings the fear of more loss.





</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div>Our greatest concern is for Zaid's future, where he will live, study and grow up. With everything destroyed, his prospects are bleak. We aim to provide him with a life of safety, nourishment, education, and, most importantly, peace. These are the minimum rights of a child.





</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div>I also worry about my mother, who has been a pillar of strength for our family, After my father's passing, she raised us under challenging conditions, and I hope to offer her a semblance of security and comfort. As we look towards rebuilding, we face the reality of having no home or income,The reconstruction will be long and costly.
</div>
<div><br />





</div>





<div>We are reaching out for your support through donations. Any contribution, big or small, will help us rebuild our lives, ensuring Zaid can have the childhood he deserves, and bring a smile back to my mother's face as she watches her grandson grow. Your support is not just financial it's a gesture of solidarity and humanity".





</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div>Thank you for considering our plea for help.

For the next week, we'll be sharing the stories of Rohingya refugees on Humans of New York.  Nearly 700,000 refugees have arrived in Bangladesh over the past several months, having been violently expelled from their homes by Buddhist extremists in Myanmar.  They have experienced and witnessed many atrocities.  Most of these refugees have settled in two sprawling camps just over the border: Kutupalong and Balukhali.  While aid agencies such as the UNHCR are doing their best to cope with the humanitarian crisis, most refugees are provided with only the basics they need to survive.  <br /><br /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/28133496_15200939200_r.jpeg" alt="28133496_15200939200_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />Monsoon season is quickly approaching in Bangladesh, so we’re raising money to help build durable shelter for these refugees.  Almost every refugee is currently living in a plastic tent.  When the monsoons arrive, these tents will provide almost no protection from the elements.  And because the camps have been deforested, there are no roots to hold the soil in place-- so even the ground will be washed away.<br /> <br />The houses we are helping to build are special.  They are made of bamboo.  They have two bedrooms, which will allow a small degree of privacy and dignity for large families.  They have a kitchen area.  These things sound simple, but under the current conditions, they represent a huge leap in comfort and security.  Each house costs around $630 to build.  The houses can hold a family of six people, and will be assigned to the most vulnerable of families as identified by the UNHCR.     <br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/28133496_1520185115.2537_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><br /> <br />The houses have been designed and built by Love Army: a wonderful idea/organization created by my friend Jerome Jarre.  Together with a band of YouTube creators and social media influencers, Love Army raised over $2 million to help Rohingya refugees.  After the fundraiser, Jerome stopped posting on social media and has quietly spent the last several months on the ground in Bangladesh.  I'm very proud and impressed by his work.  Love Army has partnered with the American Refugee Committee and local NGOs such as OBAT Helpers to make sure that every dollar is spent in the most effective way.  The houses are being built by refugees themselves, so even the labor costs are funneled back into the community.  All of Love Army’s overhead costs are covered through privately sourced funds, which means 100% of your donations will go directly to the construction of houses! <br /><br />It’s all very simple.  So let’s build houses for Rohingya Refugees!<br /><br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/28133496_1520176856.4085_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><br />(Pictured: Jerome, his team, and hundreds of paid Rohingya volunteers who are helping with construction.)<br /><br />Love Army is now a 501(c)(3) charity and will be managing funds directly as of 2/6/19.

Houses For Rohingya Refugees

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Final update:</strong></span> all this work has now been completed! We have released a <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>full accounting</strong></span> and <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>financials</strong></span> of how the funds were used. In it you will find receipt letters and <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>accounting reports from all the charities</strong></span> 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><br />Enjoy everyone and thank you for all your trust, support, kindness. This was truly a team's effort. Wishing everyone good times ahead!<br /><br /><br />Hi, this is Sebas, Juanita, Juan,  Omar,  DJ Snake,  Grand JD, Jhon Rachid, Yvick,  Seb &amp; Jerome. Rohingyas are often called the most persecuted minority in the world, unable to claim citizenship in a country that refuses to recognize them. The atrocities inflicted on the Rohingyas at the hands of the Myanmar government are staggering. Over the past week,  Amnesty International and the international news media have reported stories of beatings, villages set on fire, rape, and murder.<br /><br />The ethnic cleansing of Myanmar’s Rohingya population over the last two months has been the most severe. Stranded, stateless, and unwanted. 600,000 people have been forced out of Rakhine state by the Myanmar army and Buddhist extremists. This means 1.3 million Rohingya exist in limbo without a place to call “my country.” Myanmar’s army makes one thing clear to every Rohingya they aren’t raping, murdering, burning, or shooting: “Get out and don’t come back.” So they flee from their villages until they reach Bangladesh.<br /><br />The government of Bangladesh is overwhelmed by the refugee crisis. The refugees arrive having eaten little if anything in days, and with just the clothes on their backs. Children are especially vulnerable to human trafficking, servitude, and abuse, as many have become separated from their families. Once they arrive in the tent cities (without any sanitation), the daily struggle continues to access clean water and food.<br /><br />

So we had to adjust our plan and decided to support projects in the camps instead, that were hiring as many Rohingyas as possible. This way the refugees could still get some cash as "daily paiement" for their work.<br /><br />All the details on the charities and projects we chose, as well as all the financial details given by those charities,<br />are available on the final reporting of the mission.<br /><br />Thank you everyone!

LOVE ARMY FOR ROHINGYA

<p dir="ltr">Anyone who has ever met my brother Jacob knows just how special of a man he is, but because of his strong, quiet personality, you might not know his full story. I would like to share a small portion of it in hope that you can find it in your heart to help him during these trying times.  
</p>

<p dir="ltr">In 2010 at the age of 24, Jacob was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He was living, volunteering, and teaching in Africa at the time and returned to the U.S.A. to recieve treatments at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York City. After multiple surgeries over the course of a few months, including an RPLND which removed all of his lymph nodes throughout his entire abdomen, he was declared cancer free. He was left with astronomical medical bills, but he never once asked anyone for help. 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">Jacob then went on to celebrate his remission by bicycling across the entire width of the U.S.A. Afterwards, he spent a few months learning how to build eco-friendy earthen homes and took this newly found skill back to Africa where he helped many rural families and communities to build affordable shelters. 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">After returning home from Africa, Jacob fostered his passion to keep helping people by deciding to enroll back in school to become a nurse. He remembered how much of an important role the nurses played in his recovery and he wanted to have that impact on other people's lives as well.  
</p>

<p dir="ltr">Along with being a full time nursing student at Rutgers University, he still found time to give back to other cancer patients and the staff at Memorial Sloan Kettering by volunteering to be a guest speaker and conselor to both new incoming hires and patients. 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">Unfortunately, with only two semester left into finishing his goal, Jacob felt two lumps in his throat and his battle with cancer began again. 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">After 7 years of remission, Jacob was diagnosed with testicular cancer once again. This time his cancer has aggressively returned and has spread throughout his body in multiple locations. This has left him in a 'high-risk' category and his treatment will be very difficult. 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">Jacob will be undergoing 4 rounds of chemotherapy that includes 5 days of 5.5 hours of chemotherapy followed by 16 days off per cycle. If the chemotherapy responds well, he will then have to have multiple major surgeries to cut out the remaining cancer after a few months later. During this entire time he will not be able to work and his student financial aid loans have also been stripped away from him. This has left him with previous medical bills and zero financial support at this time. 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">Jacob is such a prideful person that he would never ask for money, but as his brother, I am reaching out to the world to ask for any small donation that you could offer to help him during these times. I ask that if you cannot give yourself that you at least share his powerful story.  
</p>

<p dir="ltr">My brother is an incredible man and there is so much more to his story that can't be written in such a small space. I ask that you support him during these times and know that any donation will be going towards a man who has spent his entire life giving to those who have needed it and is pledging to do so again as a nurse once healed. 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">Thank you and I wish you all nothing but love, peace, and good fortune. 
</p>

Jacob's Cancer Treatments

(Update, 12 Oct , 7pm ET: the next $750 will be matched by an anonymous donor!)<br /><br />Thomas and Matt are two Americans that went to college together and later collaborated in relief efforts after the 2010 earthquake. Between us we have years of experience living and working in Haiti. Thomas lives in WA, Matt lives in MA. <br /><br />We are working on raising money toward relief efforts in Sud and Grand Anse, which were massively affected by the recent Hurricane Matthew.<br /><br />These funds will be used to help send 3 Registered nurses, 3 paramedics, 4 EMTs, and 4 logistical personnel to southwestern Haiti to head off a cholera outbreak that has followed the hurricane, as well as purchase facility repairs for a medical clinic in Beaulieu, just west of Port Salut, that survived the storm but suffered damage.<br /><br />We are working in cooperation with Empact Northwest, Haitian Humanitarian Network, and Portlight Strategies.<br /><br />Thank you for any help you can offer toward response and recovery for this massive and devastating event, and toward the prevention of medical and other calamities that follow in the wake of great physical destruction (hunger, exposure, cholera and other diarrheal illnesses.)<br /><br />It pains us deeply to see our friends in peril, help us send help!

Hurricane Matthew- Sud & Grand Anse

On 7 September 2013, a militant group targeted <b>The Village </b>restaurant in Mogadishu, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-24000782">setting off two blasts</a> that killed 15 people and left at least 20 more wounded. The attack occurred almost exactly one year after <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-19667084">another bombing</a> of the restaurant which took 14 lives. <br><br>This fundraising campaign has been established to aid The Village's chef and owner <b>Ahmed Jama</b> in rebuilding the restaurant, which <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2013/07/19/world/africa/chef-bombs-mogadishu-peace">he opened in 2008</a> during one of the most violent stretches of the war against the transitional government. Jama had returned to his war-torn homeland from London, where he ran a successful restaurant, to do it. He has said that he wanted to open a restaurant that would "change the lives of the people who don't have somewhere to work and have been locked indoors and don't have anywhere to go and socialize "” to show them, 'Yes, you can laugh when you finish university or office work... You have somewhere to go.'" <br><br><iframe media_type="2" media_id="74108563" class="youtube-replace" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/74108563" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen style="margin-bottom:20px"></iframe><br><br>Despite the odds, Jama now runs <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheVillageRestaurants">5 branches</a> of The Village, the first modern restaurants in Mogadishu. He employs over 100 people and has no intention of closing any of his businesses. When reached for comment by a reporter after the most recent bombing, Jama <a href="https://twitter.com/MADSymposium/status/376418625466273792">put it simply</a>: "I won't let this stop me. I will start clean up tomorrow." <br><br>Please give what you can in order to ensure The Village remains open and alive.
