Support IGC Project to Print a Book of Srebrenica

<div>Last Sunday a beloved member of the Annex community, Aland Portillo, unfortunately passed away. For over a decade alongside his wife María , the pair have ran Ave Maria Latin Cafe on Bloor. On Monday, a day after losing her husband, María was forced to reopen her restaurant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With Alands recent and tragic passing, María is doing everything she can, from dealing with funeral costs to staff wages, rent, and daily café expenses continue to accumulate. It breaks my heart to see that immediately after losing her husband, María has been forced to reopen her restaurant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is to help temporarily relieve the financial burden and stress on María, so she can have time and space to focus on herself instead of Ave Maria Latin Cafe. Thank you for honouring Aland and helping support his wife María José during this incredibly difficult moment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Love,
</div>
<div>Jacob
</div>

</div>
<div>El domingo pasado, un querido miembro de la comunidad en el Annex, Aland Portillo, tristemente falleció. Durante más de una década, junto a su esposa María, dirigieron Ave Maria Latin Cafe en Bloor. El lunes, apenas un día después de perder a su esposo, María se vio obligada a reabrir el restaurante.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tras la reciente y trágica pérdida de Aland, María está haciendo todo lo posible para salir adelante. Los gastos funerarios, los sueldos del personal, la renta y los gastos diarios del café siguen acumulándose. Parte el corazón ver que, inmediatamente después de perder a su esposo, María ha tenido que volver a trabajar y reabrir el café.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Esta recaudación de fondos busca aliviar temporalmente la carga financiera y el estrés de María, para que pueda tener el tiempo y el espacio mental necesarios para enfocarse en ella misma. Gracias por honrar a Aland y por apoyar a su esposa, María José, en este momento tan difícil.

Help Blagaj Youth Protect Rivers Through Fishing

Adham is 36 years old and lost his home at the very beginning of the war. After seeking shelter in a tent, even that was taken from him when it was destroyed. In early 2024, Adham welcomed his newborn son, Nadim, into a life marked by displacement and hardship. Living in temporary conditions has already affected Nadim’s health, causing skin rashes and ongoing discomfort. This fundraiser is about giving Adham the support he needs to care for his child with dignity—helping provide basic necessities, safer living conditions, and a chance for Nadim to grow up healthier and more secure.

<div>My name is Waad and I have a beautiful family. I hope we will be fine and live without bombing. I hope to live without bombing and genocide or hearing explosions. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I lost my mother years ago and I grew up without a mother, but I had big dreams and a great future. I had university ambitions, but they were demolished and bombed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During the war, my dad and step mum went out to try and gather supplies but did not return. I've been waiting for them and going to look for them in hospitals but have not heard anything back.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am now solely looking after my siblings which includes a 2 month old too. I know nothing about being a mother or how to look after babies, I am only 19.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Help us get out of Gaza and live safely
</div>
<div>I had many dreams, and ambitions to study and many people would wish me successes. Now my life consists of darkness and siblings that I care for, and there is no shelter for them and no life for them. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are in Gaza, bombing, extermination, hunger, thirst, poverty, and famine. We are in great danger, and there is no water and food, and when I do not find money for them and medicine, I feel... With sadness and despair. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was going to study at Tawjihi and graduate and become a lawyer or a doctor, but my dreams were shattered. I had a school principal and teachers who loved me very much and made me feel tender, but I lost them to the occupation and they were bombed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Before the war, we lived a happy life far from impurities. It was a life of bombing and occupation, but it did not continue. I need your help so much I need you so much I hope you can help us.
</div>

Help Waad look after her siblings

<div>Hello, I’m Priyanka Rego, and I live in Toronto, Canada with my husband and two young kids. Like many people, we have been horrified by the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza. I came to learn of Abed Younes and his family (beneficiaries of this fundraiser) through my brother, Nasser, who is based in Palestine (not Gaza) and who has worked with Abed. Abed's family’s life has been shattered by the war - their home has been destroyed, the kids are out of school and the family are currently displaced to Rafah. They are desperate, as the dual threats of disease and military assault loom over their heads.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Abed’s family’s story is one of resilience and determination, but they desperately need your help to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Tell me more about who this fundraiser is for</strong>
</div>
<div>Abed is an English teacher and freelance translator.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is married to Hana, a math teacher. Together, they have 4 boys, Kareem, Mohammed, Yamen and 1-year-old Adam. Like thousands of other Gazans, they live in a tent in Rafah with limited access to basic necessities, all while living with constant threats to their wellbeing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But there is a ray of hope amidst the darkness. Abed’s family has a plan to escape the dangers of Gaza and rebuild their lives in Egypt. However, they need your support to make this dream a reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How will the funds be used?</strong>
</div>
<div>We are running this fundraiser to cover the expenses of travel from Rafah to Egypt. The family must pass through Rafah Border Crossing, where they face exorbitant fees totaling $20,000 USD. This includes $5,000 USD per adult and $2,500 USD per child under 16 years old. With six family members, this amounts to $10,000 USD for Abed and his wife Hana, and another $10,000 USD for their four children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But the challenges don't end there. Once in Egypt, the family will need at least $30,000 USD to cover accommodation and living expenses for three years. Gaza cannot be rebuilt overnight, and Abed's family needs a stable environment to start anew. They plan to establish a small startup, leveraging their expertise as educators to create an educational center. This venture will not only provide for their family but also contribute to the community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Abed shared with me, “We also need to register our 2 sons, Kareem and Mohammed, in schools, and our son Yamen in KG1, so they can continue their education, which is the most important thing for us”.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I’m fundraising for Abed and family.. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since GoFundMe only operates in a few European and North American countries, I will be collecting the funds on Abed family’s behalf and sending any money received.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will also help Abed restore his livelihood. Before the crisis, he was a successful freelancer on Fiverr.com, but the shortage of power and internet in Gaza has severely impacted his ability to work. Despite his talent and dedication, he has been unable to secure jobs or projects, causing him to lose his top-rated seller rank on the platform.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser represents the Abed's family's last glimmer of hope. With your generosity, we can help them escape the hellish conditions they currently endure and give them a chance to rebuild their lives in safety and dignity. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in their journey to a brighter future.

<div>Hi friends, family, community, and kind strangers:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you've found this GoFundMe, you probably know me. My name is Emily. I am a nurse from Belleville, ON raising 3 brilliant, busy kids alongside my spouse and a very full life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out with the kind of ask I never thought I’d make.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This spring, I had what I now understand was my first rare neuroimmune disease attack. It landed me in the hospital for acute treatment, followed by weeks rehabbing at home for basic things: how to walk, how to manage nerve pain, how to make ramen noodles again (according to Pharaoh, a baseline for functioning).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It left me with vision loss, mobility changes, and lingering exhaustion. We didn’t have a confirmed diagnosis yet ... but it was serious, and it stopped me in my tracks. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know anything about me, slowing me down, let alone stopping me, is close to an impossible task.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the time, I contemplated sharing a fundraiser. Deep down, I knew this was going to be a very long road to healing. But, I was embarrassed to ask. I was proud. I was naively hopeful that I could just push through without <em>really </em>needing help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now just 8 weeks after discharge, I’m in the middle of a second attack. I expected at least 3 or 6 months before anything happened again. (For context, some people can go years between attacks).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s gone after my right eye this time and my brain and spine have been hit again with 7 new (or worsening) lesions. I’ve only been able to work one shift since discharge, and while I’ve been interviewing for more sustainable work, I’m still in limbo—waiting for long-term disease-modifying treatments to start.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This time, I know I can’t outwork it or wait it out. I need support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I’m Fundraising Now</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m raising $5,000 to help us hold ground during this stretch. It will support the essentials while I rest, recover, and prepare for a slower, adaptive return to work. Dwayne is home full-time with the kids and carrying the rest of the weight, but the financial gap is very real.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Your support will help cover:</em>
</div>
<div>✨ Rent, groceries, and utilities
</div>
<div>✨ Transportation, vision aids, and mobility support
</div>
<div>✨ Space to recover and complete treatment without derailing everything we’ve built
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The reality is, I’m not able to work at full capacity yet—and as a self-employed nurse, I don’t have sick leave or disability pay to fall back on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Context: What This Illness Is</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What I’m living with is a rare neuroimmune condition that affects:
</div>
<div>✨ my brain
</div>
<div>✨ spinal cord
</div>
<div>✨ optic nerves
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It causes episodes known as attacks—periods of active disease that can lead to sudden changes in vision, sensation, and movement. As well as many basic functions like swallowing and using the bathroom.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It might be relapsing <strong>MS</strong>, <strong>MOGAD</strong>, or <strong>NMOSD</strong>. Each has different long-term implications, but they share one thing: the need for rest, treatment, and space to heal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The good news? </strong>The acute treatment is the same across the board—and I’m in the right place, receiving the right care. <em>Shout out to the Neurology team at Kingston Health Sciences Centre in Kingston, ON. </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Note From the Nurse</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/90991519_1752102645366511_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know me, you know I’ve always been the one holding space—for patients, students, and care teams. I built Nomad Care Consulting to create care in chaos for others. But now, I’m learning what it means to receive that kind of care myself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser isn’t just about covering bills (let’s be real, most of it is), it’s about creating enough stability to heal outside of survival mode.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help Today</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you can give $5, $50, or simply share this link, you’re helping me:
</div>
<div>✔️ Rest without fear
</div>
<div>✔️ Heal without rushing back into survival mode
</div>
<div>✔️ Return to this work and life with the same fire I had before
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support—financial, emotional, or otherwise—helps hold me up in a season I can’t carry alone. I truly felt every prayer, happy thought, and good vibe sent my way. That’s the thing about community, they know how to show up and carry you home when you need it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yours in all of it,
</div>
<div>Emily + The Edwards Crew

Help Emily Rest, Recover & Return Better Than Ever

<div>hello
</div>
<div>My name is Lama. I live in Gaza. My family and I were subjected to Israeli bombing in the October 7 War. Our house was completely destroyed. We narrowly escaped death. We survived the bombing and destruction. My three little sisters, Alma, Canada, and Kenaz, had their hearts filled with fear and terror
</div>
<div>Our story, is all too common in Gaza. Over the past nine months, we have faced constant bombings and have been displaced at least four times. We have lost our source of income, and more painfully, we have lost friends and loved ones. Fear and worry for the future permeate every second of our lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite the frequency of such hardships in Gaza, it never becomes any less heartbreaking watching the place where you have poured your heart and soul into creating a safe and loving environment for your family be destroyed Even in these dark times, strive to find hope. We believe that a better future is possible, even when the world around us seems to be falling apart. The pain and suffering we endure cannot be described in words, and it is a burden that I hope my little sisters will never have to bear. Every day, I witness innocence slowly disappear from our faces and it breaks my heart. We deserve a childhood free of fear and trauma, a life where we can dream and grow without fear. That's why I try to find them a place where they can experience the peace and stability that every child deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>We are urgently requesting assistance to evacuate from Gaza. We need a safe and healthy environment, away from violence and constant fear. Your support can help us have a chance at a peaceful future.
</li>
</ul>

<div><strong>DISCLAIMER:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some of you may have noticed that this is not ShiShi’s first personal fundraiser - at the beginning of this year, ShiShi put out a call for financial support (after much coaxing from loved ones, as ShiShi is most reluctant to fundraise for personal needs), and community came through beautifully! From that fundraiser, ShiShi was able to access thousands of dollars worth of medical supplies and other necessities, both for ShiShi and the little one.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While I don’t believe most of you would think otherwise, it bears repeating that being chronically ill, being multiply disabled in this country, and being a working class single parent, is a horrifically expensive existence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Not only have ShiShi’s conditions worsened, with new conditions actively surfacing, but ShiShi’s child is also disabled, and has received recent additional diagnoses which require extensive weekly therapies and medical equipment, including reinforced furniture items, specialized shoes, leg braces, compression garments, and more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Furthermore, due to the inherent and overt anti-Blackness of our medical system and many of its providers, ShiShi has been denied referrals, necessary medications, and insurance coverage for countless essential services and supplies, meaning that much of these medical costs has fallen to ShiShi to pay for out of pocket.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ShiShi is deeply grateful for all past support up until this point, and although it shouldn’t be necessary, ShiShi is willing to provide a comprehensive breakdown of how all past funds were used, in order to illuminate why more funds are needed now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mutual aid is ongoing, and disability and illness, for many, are permanent, meaning the need for support is continual.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>IMMEDIATE ASK: ShiShi is in urgent need of financial support for:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Additional medical care. She has maxed out her insurance on specialists, and pays for most specialists, procedures, and equipment herself. Having some money has also helped her to avoid longer wait times when average diagnoses for many chronic illnesses can be 3-15 years. Two of her upcoming specialist appointments cost over 3,000$ just for a consultation.
</li>
<li>Insurance has denied her daughter for her therapies, and she’s fighting for new insurance, but in the meantime all of this has fallen on ShiShi to either provide at home for her child or pay hundreds, out of pocket, per week. Her daughters physical therapy alone is 300$ per visit, and she is supposed to be in physical therapy twice a week after an injury last summer. This doesn’t include the costs of her daughter’s weekly speech therapy or occupational therapy.
</li>
<li>ShiShi recently has found out that she has a brain tumor, and that has been making it incredibly hard to work. A few years ago, due to her chronic illness, she stopped working in person and started working from home. Now, with the onset of seizures, even working from home can also be very challenging, which has deeply impacted her income.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------
</div>
<div>A letter from ShiShi’s friend:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear caring community members,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Hi &lt;3 I’m writing this call for support on behalf of my dear friend ShiShi Rose, whom many of you know and love</strong> for: endless, extraordinary contributions to the world of birthwork and doula care; for providing extensive, ongoing education on the intersections of COVID, anti-Blackness and colonial violence; for tireless advocacy for all peoples resisting the crushing forces of empire; for crowdsourcing *millions* of dollars for Black pregnant and parenting individuals, and for being the mountain-moving parent to a brilliant, high-support needs four year old.
</div>

<div><strong>Behind ShiShi’s public image, behind that immeasurable and continuous legacy, is a friend, a neighbor, a solo parent, a real human being dealing with an excruciating and rapidly escalating level of pain, and illness. It is my hope that we can call on community, friends and strangers alike, to show up for ShiShi in this moment when the present is wholly terrifying, and the future more tenuous than ever before.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Given ShiShi’s astounding public record of community care work, and due to the way Black women and mothers are held to superhuman standards, I believe many people may have a skewed idea of ShiShi’s actual well-being and stability. Mothers, particularly Black mothers, are expected to build the world anew each day for their children without complaint, after all. And truly, when you look at any of ShiShi’s social media platforms or just share a text conversation, it can appear that education and support flow from ShiShi as effortlessly and naturally as rainfall. However, as many of us know, the most tireless community advocates are often the most overextended, vulnerable, multiply disabled, and burnt out individuals among us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>For the past five years ShiShi has navigated escalating levels of chronic illness that have coalesced into a full-blown emergent health crisis.</strong> The ongoing pandemic has not only left ShiShi debilitated and dangerously weakened by COVID-induced/exacerbated disease, but the rampant COVID denialism and capitalist individualism pushed upon our society has left ShiShi without any form of consistent, long-term support whatsoever, aside from the efforts of a precious few close friends. ShiShi has lost countless friends, family, and work opportunities to illness, other people’s COVID denialism, for standing firmly as an anti-Zionist, and for daring to ask loved ones to actually deliver on their promises of showing up to help. If we come together in this virtual space, we can at least ensure ShiShi’s most pressing needs are met for the time being. <strong>Please do not mishear me when I say that this, right now, is an *emergency*.</strong>
</div>

</div>
<div>P.S.
</div>
<div>I didn’t write all of this because of “deservingness” or because only the most productive members of society deserve support - I’m writing it because *everyone* deserves support, and ShiShi adheres to that ethos and provides that support for others, more readily and consistently than anyone I’ve ever met. I cannot continue to watch as ShiShi pours from an empty glass for everyone else, creates something out of nothing every single moment, while being left to die alone. ShiShi (and each one of us) needs a village of on-site community support that simply doesn’t exist in this climate, and in the absence of that, material support is the next best thing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ShiShi has been hesitant to send out a renewed call for help because so many are in need in this world, so I’m sending out the call. ShiShi lives by “we keep us safe”, and ShiShi *is* us, is the community, not a hero or a god who doesn’t need all the same things we do. Thank you all for showing up in the ways that you can - it means everything.

Support ShiShi's Urgent Medical Needs

<div>Hello, I am Tarek. I am 21 years old and I live in Gaza. I am in my final year of university to obtain a bachelor degree in English Language and Translation, and I have spent 3 years of my life in this field at the University hoping to finish my dream and graduate, but <strong>unfortunately I have been living this genocide in Gaza since the 7th of last October 2023,</strong> which deprived me of all the rights that any human being must have and made me lose all the years that I had spent to build my life and my educational career <strong>and throw me and my family in the bottom of grief and misery!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79119987_1712962662284875_r.jpeg" width="100%" />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lately, I lost my right to live in peace, my right in education, and I lost many relatives and friends who have been killed during this war, and most importantly, I lost my city and my home, which became unfit for living or habitation, as everything here became destroyed and uninhabitable. In addition, that we lost our work place and we no more have any way to earn money from. ( My mom work as a make up artist )
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is no place to live or learn, and there is no aspect of life here, and I have been facing the threat of death and starvation for more than five months. <strong>Also, our future, even our past has destroyed due to this massive aggression of this war and we are now displaced and living in a tent under harsh conditions that we barely handle the reality here. So we are trying to save what is left of our life and our future</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Therefore, I created this urgent campaign in <strong>a final attempt to escape certain death</strong> and get a normal life for me and my small family ( Mom, dad, two brothers and one sister ), and to complete my dream university studies, so this is how your donations could help me and my family. I know very well that your small contribution to this campaign will revive the life of an entire family from death and give it a new opportunity to have a much better life away from all this death, suffering and genocide that is happening here in Gaza. And know well that your donations and your contributions are going to save us and let us leave the war and go to somewhere safer out of here.
</div>
<div><strong>(A picture speaks louder than words.)</strong>
</div>
<div>So this is an urgent need to donate and share and help us to evacuate.

Help Me and My Family to Evacuate Gaza

<div><strong>Dear friends, supporters and sympathizers,</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Wael Abudraz, a 47 year old Palestinian, a father of a 15-year-old child and a refugee claimant in Canada.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My wife and only son are trapped in Gaza fleeing from one place to another for their safety.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78042473_1706903252510987_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am raising funds for the emergency evacuation of my wife and son in Gaza. I hope your help and generosity will allow me raise $30,000 to be used for evacuation and resettlement in Canada. The costs will include transportation, temporary accommodation, flight and other basic expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I appeal to you as a father who is afraid for his family. As a human who wants to give life and hope to his most precious possession, a son.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family was subjected to four evacuations after our house in East Khan Yunis was destroyed depriving us not only shelter but also cherished memories. The loss is immeasurable, and the daily struggle for survival has become increasingly difficult.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div class="youtube-replace"><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My son and all children deserve to live in peace and safety, free from traumas and violence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fortunately, my brother in law, in Canada, filled out an application to bring my wife and son to Canada based on the Immigration Minister Marc Miller's announcement of granting Temporary Visas for Extended Family Members in Gaza. The new Policy requires approved extended family members to be responsible for all their travel expenses and settlement needs in Canada.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am desperately seeking financial assistance to evacuate my wife and son from Gaza. Our immediate goal is to support their flee to a safe place through Rafah Border to Egypt, and then into Canada where we can rebuild our shattered lives. The funds will be used for essential needs such as temporary housing, food, medical care, air tickets and accommodation throughout the journey.
</div>
<div><strong> </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Raised money will allow me to cover:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Passport fees.
</li>
<li>Application and visa fees to Canada .
</li>
<li>Transportation and immediate support.
</li>
<li>Evacuation Fee/Egyptian Coordination.
</li>
<li>Accommodation, food and mobility in Egypt.
</li>
<li>2 Tickets from Cairo to Toronto.
</li>
<li>Settlement expenses for the first month.
</li>
<li>The transaction fee for (GoFundMe) is 2.9% per donation.

</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please contribute to securing a safe future for my wife and son in Canada.

Save My Only Son

<div>Dear friends,
</div>
<div>I'm Tammy and I started this fundraiser for my friends in Gaza: Enas, her husband, Fady Adnan Khader Al-Zabdah, and their young daughter Ilana.
</div>
<div>----------------------------
</div>
<div><strong>**UPDATE May 2025:</strong>
</div>
<div>The two months of food and aid blockade and recent bombings in the Khan Yunis area where Fady, Enas and Ilana have been sheltering have once again displaced them, this time to the streets without shelter, leaving belongings behind just hours before a targeted airstrike blew up their neighborhood. On Sunday, May 18th, Fady alerted us that “the occupation army is beginning a great new start in the Gaza Strip and is beginning its existential presence”.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The ground invasion has begun again. Tanks have been advancing east of Khan Younis and firing fire and shells, specifically the Fakhari area. @fady_al_zabda sent video at sunrise in Khan Yunis where sounds of gunshots and missiles were flying overhead. Earlier that day, photos of airstrikes a kilometer away. Just the day before, llana was starving but they were still gathering sea water. They did not know that just hours later, they’d be hiding. That hours later, bullets would be flying over llana and her mother @enasdagga ‘s heads. Enas’ phone has burned and is broken, so now the family shared Fady’s phone to stay connected with us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recent days have been excruciatingly dangerous, having them sleeping on the street for fear of being bombed and of course the incessant hunger. Baby Ilana has fallen ill and has diarrhea today. The price of flour has been climbing daily. According to a Time’s article, “Since Israeli forces resumed offensive operations on March 18, the price of flour has climbed by 5,000 percent, residents say, and cooking oil by 1,200 percent”, and, “Famine, which has loomed over the enclave for much of the 19-month war, is now imminent, according to international aid groups. The groups, led by the U.N., base their assessment on a complex formula known as the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The most recent report, released May 12, found the whole of Gaza qualified as an “Emergency,” or at critical risk of famine. Some 470,000 residents (22 percent) had reached “Catastrophe,” defined as “starvation, death, destitution and extremely critical acute malnutrition levels.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help us focus our donations on helping them secure medicine for Baby Ilana, food and drinking water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>**Scroll down to our UPDATES section for more updates and photos</strong>
</div>
<div>------------------
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*UPDATE March 2025:<strong> </strong>We are raising funds for Fady, Enas (recovering from an emergency C-section), and their young daughter Ilana. Sadly, their son, Adam, passed away a couple of weeks after being born prematurely. The funds will help them to hopefully evacuate when the border opens, and also to help support costs to pay for shelter, supplies, and food for them and their extended family as well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>UPDATE Feb. 2025: We are now back to raising funds for Fady, Enas (in hospital), young Ilana, and her newborn baby brother to evacuate in March 2025. This will cost at least $7,500 CAD. </strong>All of the funds raised to date had been sent to them over the past year to pay for shelter, supplies, and food for them and their extended family. We are starting at the beginning again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>UPDATE Nov. 2024: </strong>Due to the desperate and ongoing situation, this fund is now being directed to their family's basic needs for survival on the ground, such as for shelter, food and medicine. Since this fundraiser was created and written, they have been displaced over ten times, have survived many attacks and have tragically had close friends and family martyred.<strong> </strong>We are now fundraising for not only Fady, his wife Enas (who is pregnant), and their baby Ilana, but also Fady’s nine brothers, two sisters, his brother’s children, and his mother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kefah is Fady’s brother. He was partially paralyzed by an Israeli airstrike several years ago and is in a wheelchair. His name كفاح translates to “struggle”. As such, the constant displacement and danger is even more of a challenge. He requires medicine and his wheelchair requires a new battery. Fady’s older sister lives with an intellectual disability, but she still smiles despite their circumstances.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Baby Ilana is now walking on her own. She went to the doctor for a check-up a couple of weeks ago, and also got her second polio vaccine. She is thankfully relatively healthy, as are Enas and Fady. Unfortunately, another winter is coming and their family needs food, warm blankets, clothing, medicine, diapers, and shelter. Everything they had was destroyed by an airstrike on their refugee camp in early October.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>--------------
</div>
<div><strong>Original fundraising description below, with their family's story:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Enas is a sociologist, and her husband Fady is a hairdresser. He ran a salon in Khan Yunis which was bombed, along with their home, belongings, and any savings they had. After having been displaced, they sheltered in a makeshift tent in Rafah and caring for their young baby with very little to no access to healthcare, sanitation, water, or food.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>"I myself would like to move out, with my husband and my child. There is no place left for us to live in. They have completely destroyed the area and it is not suitable for living."</em>
</div>
<div>- Enas

<div><em>Outside their tent in Rafah, where they were previously displaced.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But then, Rafah was attacked, and they were forced to flee back to Khan Yunis. Today, they live in a bombed out building in the heat, living on meager supplies, and surrounded by the sounds and constant threat of warfare.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ilana was born just one month before the siege started. She deserves life, and like any child, deserves a childhood beyond this violence.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Words from Fady:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"I am a father of a 7-month-old daughter, Ilana. Our lives were simple, and like everyone else we were dreaming of our future and we were all grateful for the little things that made us happy. But our dreams and ambitions were shattered in this difficult war.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I hope that I, my wife and my child will live like any family in this world in peace, security and stability.</strong> I want to give them everything they want, but the harshness of life here has deprived us of everything. How it hurts my heart to see them suffering from hunger and death, and I can't do anything.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I do not wish to leave my country. I love my country and I love living here,</strong> but after they destroyed my home that we worked so hard to build for years, and my only source of livelihood was destroyed, to save my daughter and wife.... All this forced me to evacuate. That is why I appeal to you, your friends and people of conscience who sympathize with humanity, to help us provide the necessary amount to find safety for our small family. May God protect you all."
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>----------------------------
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Update Summer 2024 - The following was the original intended use for the funds:</strong> <em>Funds raised will be used to help Enas, their mother, Fady, and Ilana enter Egypt (at a cost of USD $7k per person, and $3k for Ilana as a baby), plus the necessary travelling fees, and a minimal sum to help them restart their life in Egypt. A small portion of the funds will also be used to cover any GoFundMe platform fees, and as they do not have access to an operational bank in Gaza, any Western Union fees. Funds will be deposited into my TD Bank account here in Canada, and then sent to them as we raise enough. In the meantime, Enas will be coordinating with the Egyptian Ya Hala Travel Company for their evacuation plans.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In this difficult time, thank you for extending your generosity a little bit further to help this small family. Any small amount you can give will make a real difference in supporting necessities for life and keep their hope alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sincerely,
</div>

Enas, Fady, and Baby Ilana's Future & Emergency Fund

<div>A few weeks ago my friend Azza sent me the link to this <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBSJL3oS_zs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Run4Sudan</a>  event organized by @WomenFitSauga and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/strongwmnto/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">STRONGWMNTO</a> . Their goal was to raise $1,000 for <a href="https://www.islamicreliefcanada.org/emergencies/sudan-appeal?utm_campaign=21484710668&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=ppc&amp;utm_content=706209653247&amp;utm_term=sudan%2520donate&amp;adgroupid=167742606209&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAouG5BhDBARIsAOc08RTAQZqGnw0E_3YcUZKNauOr0-SzAdCJR88d6gKfoLHdabNeqO87K7MaAkxMEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Islamic Relief's Emergency Appeal for Sudan</a>. I registered late, so that goal has already been met. Incredible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then I got a message on Instagram. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/__rahaaaf/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rahaf</a> is a Sudanese university student in her final year of medical school. She's been displaced to Egypt and is raising funds to be able to continue her education there. She wrote to me with <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-sudanese-final-year-medical-students-overcome-war" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a link to her fundraiser</a> . She shared her certificates and registration and the fees she needs to be able to continue her journey to becoming the generation of doctors that can tend to the country's deep needs. She's now $4550 USD or $6450 CAD away from her goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know the race is under 24 hours at this point, but I remember that this community helped me raise over $10,000 in SIX DAYS for my first 10K in May. These times feel so crushingly impossible to navigate alone, but I've already seen how you all demonstrated that collective action helps catalyze despair into powerful action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With that: I wanted to post about this much, much sooner. I will admit that, like I know so many of us are, I'm beginning to buckle under the weight of the world. I have almost never been more grateful that I found running. It is perhaps the only thing that helps me calm my nervous system, which is shot. A few runs go I discovered that sometime over the last few runs, I surpassed over 300 runs since I started running in March of 2020. This fundraiser is a celebration of that, too. There is a direct link to how fast I run and how angry I am. Needless to say, in this last stretch especially, the runs are fast, and they're rage- and Dipset Anthem and DMX- fueled. My girls at Hill Run Club have been a central part of my longevity in this thing that I hate so much, but that I love and feel lucky to be able to do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating to this fundraiser. My goal, my dream, would be to get Rahaf's fundraiser to completion. Imagine that. My next level goal or dream is to be able to surpass that, and be able to give to the original designated charity, Islamic Relief, for their emergency appeal in Sudan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For my last fundraiser, I remember some heavyweight major donations, but I also remember the dozens and dozens and dozens of $3 and $8 and $10 and $20 and $15s and they changed everything. I also remember how FAR and wide you all shared this. That's what made it happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>THIS IS A WOMEN'S ONLY RACE and it's full up on registration, but day of registration is still available, tomorrow, Sunday at 10am, ahead of the race which is 11am - 1pm at  the East side of 2001 Lake Shore Blvd W. Please visit @WomenFitSauga and @STRONGWMNTO

<div>I, Musa Al-Yahya, am 31, single, and yet to be married. I am a graphic designer from Gaza, where this field has been my source of livelihood and a means to build my future. However, the onset of the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, turned my life upside down, as I lost my job and my family's home suffered partial damage.
</div>

<div>My family consists of five members, including my parents, and I am currently seeking ways to salvage what remains of my life and future. My plan involves purchasing necessary work tools, such as a laptop and a tablet, and building a solar power source that I can rely on to continue in my field, whether by staying in Gaza or seeking opportunities elsewhere.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is in addition to my need for nasal surgery, which will restore my self-confidence and provide me with comfort after a long journey of exhaustion. Despite these challenges, I am committed to helping my family, especially after my father stopped working during the war, as he was the family's breadwinner. I will also strive to repair the damage caused by the bombing next to our home, to restore hope and life to the family once again.

<div>أنا، موسى اليحيى، أبلغ من العمر 31 عامًا، أعزب ولم أتزوج بعد. أنا مصمم جرافيك من قطاع غزة، حيث كان هذا المجال مصدر رزقي وسبباً في بناء مستقبلي. لكن بداية الحرب على قطاع غزة في السابع من أكتوبر عام 2023 قلبت حياتي رأسًا على عقب، حيث فقدت عملي وتعرض منزل العائلة لأضرار جزئية.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>عائلتي تتألف من خمسة أفراد، بمن فيهم والداي، وأنا حاليًا أبحث عن سبل لإنقاذ ما تبقى من حياتي ومستقبلي. خطتي تتضمن شراء الأدوات الضرورية للعمل، مثل اللابتوب والتابلت، بالإضافة إلى بناء مصدر طاقة شمسية يمكنني الاعتماد عليه للاستمرار في مجالي، سواء بالبقاء في قطاع غزة أو البحث عن فرص في مكان آخر.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>هذا بالإضافة إلى احتياجي لإجراء عملية في الأنف، التي ستعيد لي الثقة بالنفس وستمنحني الراحة بعد مشوار تعب طويل . ورغم هذه التحديات، فإنني ملتزم بمساعدة عائلتي، خاصة بعد توقف والدي عن العمل جراء الحرب، حيث كان مصدر رزق الأسرة. كما سأسعى لإصلاح الأضرار الناتجة عن القصف بجانب منزلنا، لنعيد الأمل والحياة إلى الأسرة مرة أخرى.

Help me Save My Family and Future from Gaza Genocide

<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>
<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>In October last year, our worst nightmares came true, only after six months of opening our charming cafe. My house and my cafe were transformed into rubble.

<div>10.7.24 - One year in, our monthly goals as the border remains to be closed include the following:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Food (~$1,000 per month)
</div>
<div>Water (~350 per month)
</div>
<div>Phone (~700 per month)
</div>
<div>Transportation (~350 per month)
</div>
<div>Hygiene Items (such as toothpaste, pads, toilet paper, toothpaste) (~300 per month)
</div>
<div>Clothing, medication, emergency needs, as needed
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This totals in around $2,750 a month in daily survival costs if no emergency needs pop up, such as a broken stove, need to go a long distance for medical care, etc.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The family also assists extended family, local friends, displaced people and orphans in emergency cases when possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds raised so far have been spent for the most part for their survival as the border continues to be closed and aid trickles in at a snail's pace. The evacuation funds that were raised prior to the border closure have been spent almost in their entirety. Do not let the total raised fool you.

<div>Hundreds of people share single toilets and showers. Diseases run rampant and her home is damaged from attacks, which is unsafe.

Help Our Family Evacuate Gaza!

<div>It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Dejan Janjic, son of Dragan Janjic and Tatjana Josipovic, who left us unexpectedly at the age of 35. Dejan's departure has left an irreplaceable void in the hearts of his family and friends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dejan was the devoted younger brother to Zorana and a loving uncle to his two nephews, Roman and Nikolas. His kindness and warmth were felt by all who knew him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The most heart-wrenching part of Dejan's untimely passing is that he leaves behind his beloved Lara, the love of his life, and their twins, who are expected to arrive this upcoming September. Dejan was eagerly anticipating becoming a father and embracing this new chapter in his life with Lara. Dejan loved life and adventure, finding joy in exploring nature's wonders. His adventurous spirit was an inspiration to all those around him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We've made this gofundme to help support the future care of Lara and Dejan's children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation is greatly appreciated by Dejo's family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>C'est avec une profonde tristesse que nous vous annonçons le décès soudain de Dejan Janjic, fils de Dragan Janjic et Tatjana Josipovic, qui nous a quittés de manière inattendue à l'âge de 35 ans. Le départ de Dejan a créé un vide irréparable dans le cœur de sa famille et de ses amis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dejan était le frère cadet dévoué de Zorana et un oncle aimant pour ses deux neveux, Roman et Nikolas. Sa gentillesse et sa chaleur étaient ressenties par tous ceux qui le connaissaient.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>La partie la plus déchirante du départ prématuré de Dejan est qu'il laisse derrière lui sa bien-aimée Lara, l'amour de sa vie, et leurs jumeaux, qui sont attendus pour le mois de septembre à venir. Dejan attendait avec impatience de devenir père et d'embrasser ce nouveau chapitre de sa vie avec Lara. Dejan aimait la vie et l'aventure, trouvant de la joie dans l'exploration des merveilles de la nature. Son esprit aventureux était une source d'inspiration pour tous ceux qui l'entouraient.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nous avons établi cette page de donation pour supporter le futur soutien et les soins des enfants à naître de Dejan et Lara.

<div>Hi, my name is Vanessa. I am an American currently living in Australia. I met Mohammed who is from Gaza at the beginning of the war. Let me introduce to you to Mohammed and his little family. This is Mohammed and baby Hashem. Mohammed’s wife gave birth to Hashem last month in Gaza and if you’ve been paying attention you know the situation in Gaza is dire. I cannot even begin to imagine the bittersweet feeling of welcoming in your newborn with so much joy while also being under bombardment and not knowing what the future holds. We have a chance to help them and ensure that this family seeks safety. Please if you can we would greatly appreciate any donation you can make. Our goal is to evacuate Mohammed and his family to Egypt. It is an incredibly desperate time between life and death. Any help is appreciated! Thank you so much!

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Stolac is a scenic town nestled in Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, it has a large population of underprivileged people, and our local environment is being threatened due to the lack of recycling facilities available. <br /><br />We have developed an innovative initiative to address the needs of our local community, but we need your help to scale up our efforts. 

Our idea is simple. People from underprivileged backgrounds collect their cans, plastic and glass bottles and they are paid a rate of €0.10 ($0.11) per bottle. This is paid to them in the form of credit to use in grocery stores where they can buy anything they need except cigarettes and alcohol. <br /><br /></span><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80562803_1717629992836807_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="80562803_1717629992836807_r.jpg" /><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);"><br /><br />For example: If someone gives us 1000 bottles, we provide them with $110 worth of store credit. This amount is enough to feed a family of 8 for 3 or 4 days.<br /><br /> In less than one month we’ve managed to collect 30,000 bottles and provided over €3000 ($3264) towards credit for people from underprivileged backgrounds. <br /><br /> So far, we have been using our savings to support this initiative, but we are aiming to increase the number of bottles and cans we collect and the amount of credit we can give out to people who are in need. <br /><br /> There is no recycling in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but there is a widespread syndrome of overreliance on humanitarian aid. <br /><br />This initiative will address issues Stolac is facing such as begging, minimizing environmental damage, and raising awareness, while also advocating for politicians to act. <br /><br /> Demir Mahmutćehajić, a lifelong human rights activist is leading this initiative. He’s lived in Stolac for the last 13 years and has focused his activism on helping destitute and oppressed communities. He has also led conservation efforts and has taken care of stray animals in the region. <br /><br /> This is a long-term activity and through this, we seek to fill this gap and make a positive impact on our local community and environment. <br /><br /> Transparency 

Receipts are collected and can be shared if requested by donors.<br /><br /><br /></span>

<div>Hi, i am a Palestinian from Gaza currently lived in Canada. I am looking for an urgent assistance to evacuate my family from the Gaza Strip to Egypt. For the past three months, my family home in middle region of Gaza has become a shelter for displaced family members and friends from the northern regions, but their safety is at an alarming risk every day. The funds raised through this campaign will be solely dedicated to facilitating their safe passage out of Rafah via the Rafah Border. Your contribution will make a life-changing difference in ensuring their safety and well-being during these harrowing times.

<div>The ongoing war happening in Gaza has forced many families, including mine, to face unimaginable challenges. My family have opened their doors to provide refuge, even amidst their own struggle for survival. However, the situation has reached a critical point, where staying in middle region of Gaza is no longer sustainable for them. Amidst the chaos, I am desperately trying to secure a safe passage for my family to Egypt, where they can find temporary shelter and safety away from the danger zone.

<div>I am Tala Mustafa, a resilient third-year dentistry student from Gaza city with a heart full of compassion and dreams. Since my childhood, I aspired to follow in my brother's footsteps and become a dentist, driven by a passion to heal and serve our community. Despite the trials of life, I worked hard on my dream, only to have it shattered by the horrors of war.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Six months ago, our world was torn apart by conflict in Gaza, forcing us to abandon our home, studies &amp; life. Now, we are displaced. My once-promising future hangs in the balance as me &amp; my family struggle to survive amidst the chaos. With no access to basic necessities like electricity and water, every day is a battle for survival, marked by hardship and uncertainty.
</div>
<div>But amidst the rubble of despair, I cling to hope, dreaming of a brighter tomorrow where I can once again pursue my dream &amp; make a difference in the lives of others. My greatest wish is simple yet profound: a safe haven for my family &amp; myself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, I am reaching out to you for help to secure the cost of our evacuation to safety. With your support, I can help my family &amp; myself reclaim our dreams. Together, let's rally behind this cause, ensuring that our journey from hardship to hope inspires compassion and generosity in us all. Join us making dreams come true. Help our family reach Safety.

</div>
<div>Hello everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the heart of Palestine - Gaza, resided a beacon of creativity and hope, Mohammed Sami Qaraiqa. A young artist at the mere age of 24, Mohammed's life was a canvas of dreams, painted with aspirations for a brighter future for himself and those he held dear. His work, a testament to his talent, graced social media platforms and local art exhibitions in Gaza, capturing the essence of resilience and beauty amidst adversity. Mohammed yearned for the world to witness his art, to see beyond the confines of conflict, and to recognize the universal language of creativity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But on October 17, 2023, tragedy struck. While Mohammed was spearheading an initiative to bring joy to the displaced children of Al-Ahli Al-Muqdami Hospital, documenting the smiles he could bring to their faces on his Instagram, a place where he connected with a global audience, his life was abruptly and cruelly taken by an Israeli airstrike. This heinous act not only robbed Mohammed of his future but also cast a shadow of despair over his family. The very next day, our home, a sanctuary of memories and dreams, was obliterated, erasing the physical traces of Mohammed and our father, who we had lost four years prior.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amidst the ruins of our once warm home, we find ourselves displaced, seeking refuge first in Khan Younis and now in Rafah, battling the relentless cold and the harsh reality of our situation in a tent that scarcely shields us from the elements.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In these darkest of times, we cling to the hope that humanity's collective compassion can light our way through this tunnel. Every donation, no matter its size, is a step towards rebuilding our shattered lives, a gesture of solidarity that tells us we are not alone in our grief and our struggle for a semblance of normalcy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We ask you to share Mohammed's story, to help his dreams and the dreams of his family find root in a reality far kinder than the one that has been thrust upon us. Your support offers more than just material aid; it extends a lifeline of hope, a promise that even in the most devastating of circumstances, renewal is possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will forever carry gratitude in our hearts for your generosity and kindness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you.
</div>

</div>
<div>Dear all,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mohammed's family has shown me an unparalleled level of kindness as we work together on a venture to conserve and promote Mohammed's art. Their son, brother, and friend, Mohammed was an extremely talented artist whose work captured the complicated, beautiful experience of living in Gaza. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain and trauma they have experienced in losing him. However, even during extremely tough times they have shown me extraordinary patience and compassion. Despite the unhappy conditions we have met under, they have become dear friends to me. Everyday I find myself waiting for their messages when (and if) they can find a few minutes of connection so I can check that they are safe. However, Gaza is no longer liveable and the conditions only continue to go from worse to worse. Any donation will go towards helping them to get to safety and in rebuilding their lives. I pray for the day where they are no longer in danger - I hope you can help me achieve this.
</div>

Rebuilding Hope: Support Mohammed's Family

<div><b>Hey everyone,
I'm Mirvat Alshrafi</b> a Palestinian-Canadian living in Aurora with my 4 children and my husband. I'm reaching out with a heavy heart.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;My family in Gaza is going through an absolute nightmare.
On October 20th, their home got hit, and miraculously, they survived, but not without injuries. They're still under constant threat, struggling for basic necessities like shelter, food, and water. My whole family (18 members) is residing in Gaza including my mom, 4 sisters, 1 brother, their spouses, 5 nephews and 3 nieces (from 1 to 12 years old).<img class="" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/76805459_1705104671695812_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"></div><div><img class="" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/76805459_1705104704358451_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3"><br></div><div><img class="" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/76805459_1705104725212957_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"></div><div><img class="" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/76805459_1705104916617047_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3"><br></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>My lifeline through all this is the dream of bringing them to Canada.

What is Canada's Emergency Program?
Following months of requests from Canadians with extended family members in the battle zone, Immigration Canada Minister Marc Miller launched a new temporary visa plan for people in Gaza with Canadian relatives. Miller described Gaza's state as "unlivable." He plans to launch a temporary visa program on January 9, 2024. He emphasized the difficulties of leaving the besieged Palestinian area. Mr. Miller said that Canada has received no assurances from Israel, Hamas, or Egypt that extended family members on the Canadian list will be able to depart. Furthermore, no financial support will be provided to evacuees or their families in Canada.
The following expenses are not paid by the Canadian government for travel and applications&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>	Notary and translation expenses (around $600 total)</div><div>&nbsp;	Application costs for 18 people (a total of $1,800)</div><div>&nbsp;	Living and travel expenses in Egypt for 1 month while documentation is processed (about $4,000).&nbsp;</div><div>	Biometrics costs (required for adults): $85 per adult, for a total of $850.&nbsp;</div><div>	Flight tickets for 18 passengers from Cairo to Toronto (estimated at $1,800 per person, for a total of $32,400)&nbsp;</div><div>	Settlement costs (for the first three months until they can work)</div><div>	Rent 4 apartments (about $2,000 per apartment each month, $24,000 total).&nbsp;</div><div>	Furniture and sleeping beds  (around $6,000)&nbsp;</div><div>	Personal essentials, winter clothing, etc. &nbsp;<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">(around $3,000)&nbsp;</span></div><div>	Daily living expenses (calculated as $1,800/month x three households x 3 months, total $16,200)</div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">&nbsp;If something happens and my family is unable to leave Gaza for any reason, I would use this money to construct them a shelter and help them rebuild their lives because they have lost everything.
Every little bit counts in getting my family out of harm's way. I'm all in for them, and your support can turn this plea for help into a real game-changer. I'm telling my mom, "Hang in there. I'm here, and we can help as long as you're alive.” With your help, those words can turn into a reality.

HELP ME TO BRING MY FAMILY TO SAFETY!

<div>Dear Supporter,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Sarah Barzak, a Malay-Palestinian living in Canada. I am reaching out to you for support in getting my cousin and his family out of Gaza to Egypt.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Baba was born and raised in Gaza. My Teta (grandmother) was exiled to Gaza in 1948 from Yafa. My grandfather is ancestrally from Gaza. This is where the majority of Baba's family lives. In October, my family members evacuated from the north to the south. They have been internally displaced several times and are seeking refuge in Egypt.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am raising $40 000 CAD ($29 200 USD) to support their evacuation and resettlement fees. My family members have lost their livelihoods and are in need of financial support to safely evacuate and resettle. The average cost of evacuation to Egypt is $6850-9600 CAD ($5000-7000 USD) per person. This amount doesn’t include resettlement expenses such as rent, food, clothing, medicine — money they will need to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your generous support and solidarity. I will be responsible for handling the funds and will do so with diligence and care. I thank you for trusting me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With Gratitude,

Gaza Family Evacuation Fund

<div>I reach out to you with a heart heavy with sadness, shock, despair, and anxiety, yet filled with hope. I have initiated this fundraising campaign to provide urgent assistance to my family for evacuating them from Gaza and saving them from the horrors of life in Gaza amid the devastating war, destruction, and tragic conflict worsening every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is our last resort to survive for me and my family from the death and genocide  And to save my family of 12 from hunger, famine, epidemics, and the danger that surrounds us everywhere.we are facing and the terrifying realities of life in Gaza. I ask for your help to seek refuge in a safe place before it's too late, as our chances of survival have become non-existent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am Hanin, a young Palestinian from Gaza, a graduate of the Faculty of Media. I turned 25 last December. My youth and days of joy were spent in the genocidal war in Gaza. I used to work remotely as a digital marketer and a voice-over artist. I loved my work, and I had a great passion for the world of voice and audio recording. I had big dreams and aspirations, a career path I wanted to pursue. I had a warm, beautiful home, a family I loved, and a quiet neighborhood to live in. But the war made me lose all of this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear Sir/Madam
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>a Palestinian from Gaza, currently displaced in a tent in Rafah. I am reaching out urgently as my family faces the devastating impact of the ongoing war in Gaza. Our house burned to ruin, our jobs were lost, and we urgently need your help to ensure the safety of my family and our children.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>My life before the war.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And so, after the war, my home and my beautiful life were destroyed, and I began to live in a tent made of nylon in this hot weather, and my younger sisters cried every day because of this difficult life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These are my brothers and my family. For 7 months, they have not been eating well. We eat animal food. There is no education

<div>My family consists of 12 members, and we have lost everything. Our homes have been destroyed, and we live under a fierce war of bombing, destruction, and starvation. There is nothing of the necessities of life. After the destruction of our home, the Zionist occupation forced us to forcefully leave our city and move to Rafah after the brutal bombing of Gaza, and we now live in A tent that is not suitable for life and does not contain any of the necessities of life. We live in the shadow of starvation, bombing, and fear, and the weather is very hot. We want to leave Gaza as quickly as possible to any other place before we die of bombing or hunger, and we want to establish a new life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We were very happy before the disaster that befell us. Now we live here in a place that is not suitable for life

Help Hanee's family feed the children and build their house

<div><b>Umar has been acquitted of all charges! Our family has gone through so much over the last 3 years - please donate to help pay off our debt so we can rebuild and move forward. </b><br />

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

<div><b>Stay blessed. </b>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We need your help. Umar Zameer is standing trial for first degree murder in relation to the death of a police officer on July 2, 2021. See below for a summary of the case as well as links to various media articles. Defending a case like this one is hugely time-consuming and incredibly expensive. 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Umar's lawyers have spent innumerable hours of work continuously for nearly three years now, day in day out. They have been very understanding about our inability to pay the legal fees in a timely manner, but we want to honour our commitments. However, without help from you, we will be unable to pay. 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>All of your donations will go directly towards the defence efforts. Umar is at risk of facing the rest of his life in jail leaving his wife Aaida and their 5-year-old son, 2-year-old daughter and 4-month-old daughter. They are new to the country with very little support. We are asking you to please consider donating to help Umar fight these charges.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><em>"On July 1, 2021, Umar, his wife Aaida and their 2-year-old son were enjoying a night out sightseeing around Nathan Phillips Square. When it got late, they returned to their car in the underground parking lot in order to drive home. As they were getting into their car, a man and a woman in casual clothing approached them aggressively and demanded that they stop. At that very moment, a large grey van stopped in front of Umar’s car, blocking the exit route from the front. Umar tried to escape by reversing the car and then driving forward. In so doing, he accidentally struck the man on his way out, who later succumbed to his injuries.</em>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><em>Umar and Aaida later found out that the man and woman who confronted them in the parking lot were plainclothes police officers, who were investigating an unrelated incident.</em>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><em>The police and the Crown Attorney did not accept Umar and Aaida’s innocent explanation for what happened and had charged Umar with first-degree murder. This is one of the most serious charges in Canadian law. Umar has a strong legal team behind him and is vigorously defending against the charges, but he needs your help to support this effort. </em>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><em>Without proper legal assistance, Umar would be at risk of facing the rest of his life in jail leaving his wife Aaida, their 5-year-old son, 2-year-old daughter and 4-month old baby girl. They are new to the country with very little support. The family would be grateful for any support you may provide."</em>

</div>
<div>On the seventh day of October, suddenly in the early morning, we heard a sound, and then we realized that the war had started, From the first minute all my family members evacuated to my aunt's house in central Jabalia, which was considered safer than our house on the eastern border of Jabalia. After the first week, we learned that our house was got damaged by bombs , making it difficult to return and live in it. Also, the Israeli army requested people in the north to evacuate to the south of Gaza Valley.
</div>
<div>We lost our home ,our agricultural land that has been completely swept way and lost our business, the shoe store.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>There were over 400 people in the house we were in. Most of them evacuated to southern Gaza, and a few remained in the north of Gaza Valley, including us. Initially, my father refused to evacuate south due to my illness and his old age, finding it difficult to live in shelters. Therefore, we decided to stay in northern Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After forty days of intense bombing and fear, shells started falling on the house we were staying in the city center May God protect us . That's when we decided to flee south. It was very difficult for me as a girl with muscular dystrophy to move like everyone else, so my father decided to provide me with a wheelchair.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After much struggle, we managed to get the wheelchair from kind-hearted people and fled to the south of the valley, to the Deir al-Balah area. After enduring great suffering at the checkpoint from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., we arrived at Deir al-Balah and stayed in shelters in schools, which were overcrowded.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After much suffering and mediation by relatives, we built a small tent that could accommodate at least four people, but my family, consisting of twenty members, found it difficult because I, as a girl with muscular dystrophy, didn't have suitable conditions in the tent - no walls to lean on and no suitable bathroom. I suffered a lot and got sick by hepatitis A in this tent as all my family members suffered from influenza ,intestinal disease and hepatitis A due to lack of good food and clean water .

</div>
<div>The war affected me greatly, as well as my health condition and my father's, who suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure, and many strokes. I am now in the final stage of secondary school, eagerly waiting to complete it and pursue my dreams like any other girl in the world. But the war came, destroying all my dreams and aspirations, including our warm home that we waited five years to complete, and my father had arranged everything for me, including a suitable bathroom.

</div>
<div>بشرى أبو الخير من مدينة جباليا في قطاع غزة. أبلغ من العمر 18 عاما وأدرس في المدرسة الثانوية وأعاني من مرض ضمور العضلات لمدة تسع سنوات.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>لدي عائلة جميلة وسعيدة تملأني باللطف وتعتني بي، وكان لدينا منزل جديد لوالدي و4اخوة لي حيث استقرنا قبل ثلاث سنوات بعد انتظار خمس سنوات من البناء وهذه بعض الصور لمنزلنا ...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>عائلتي، تتكون من 20 عضوا، والدي (يوسف)، أمي (فتحية)، 4 إخوة حاتم وزوجته الاء وطفليه (براء 4 سنوات ومروة 3 سنوات)، محمد وزوجته منار و3 أطفاله (عمر 8 سنوات، خالد 7 سنوات وحسن سنتين)، الأخ الثالث بشار والأخ الرابع عبد الله الذي يقيم الآن في الإمارات العربية المتحدة وزوجتها دانا، بالإضافة إلى زوجة أخي المتوفى وأطفالها الثلاثة (ياسمين، يوسف 4 سنوات وزهير 9 سنوات) أيضا أنا لديك أختان عائشة وبسمة معظمهم من عائلتنا من الأطفال.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>فقدت عائلتي اثنين من إخوتي بنفس مرضي (ضمور دوشان العضلي) في العام الماضي 2023 وفي عام 2016.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>في اليوم السابع من أكتوبر، فجأة في الصباح الباكر، سمعنا صوتا، ثم أدركنا أن الحرب قد بدأت، منذ اللحظة الأولى تم إجلاء جميع أفراد عائلتي إلى منزل عمتي في وسط جباليا، الذي كان يعتبر أكثر أمانا من منزلنا على الحدود الشرقية لجباليا. بعد الأسبوع الأول، علمنا أن منزلنا قد تضرر بسبب القنابل، مما جعل من الصعب العودة والعيش فيه. أيضا، طلب الجيش الإسرائيلي من الناس في الشمال الإخلاء إلى جنوب وادي غزة.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>لقد فقدنا منزلنا، أرضنا الزراعية التي اجتاحت تماما وفقدنا أعمالنا، متجر الأحذية.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>كان هناك أكثر من 400 شخص في المنزل الذي كنا فيه. تم إجلاء معظمهم إلى جنوب غزة، وبقي عدد قليل منهم في شمال وادي غزة، بمن فيهم نحن. في البداية، رفض والدي إخلاء الجنوب بسبب مرضي وكبر سنه، ووجدنا صعوبة في العيش في الملاجئ. لذلك، قررنا البقاء في شمال غزة.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>بعد أربعين يوما من القصف الشديد والخوف، بدأت القذائف تسقط على المنزل الذي كنا نقيم فيه في وسط المدينة لكن بفضل الله حفظنا الله. هذا عندها قررنا الفرار جنوبا. كان من الصعب جدا بالنسبة لي كفتاة تعاني من ضمور العضلات التحرك مثل أي شخص آخر، لذلك قرر والدي تزويدي بكرسي متحرك.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>بعد الكثير من النضال، تمكنا من الحصول على الكرسي المتحرك من أشخاص طيبي القلب وهربنا إلى جنوب الوادي، إلى منطقة دير البلح. بعد تحملنا معاناة كبيرة عند نقطة التفتيش من الساعة 8:00 صباحا إلى الساعة 8:00 مساء، وصلنا إلى دير البلح وبقينا في الملاجئ في المدارس، التي كانت مكتظة.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>بعد الكثير من المعاناة والوساطة من قبل الأقارب، قمنا ببناء خيمة صغيرة يمكن أن تستوعب أربعة أشخاص على الأقل، ولكن عائلتي، المكونة من عشرين عضوا، وجدت صعوبة في ذلك لأنني، كفتاة تعاني من ضمور عضلي، لم يكن لدي ظروف مناسبة في الخيمة - لا توجد جدران تتكئ عليها ولا حمام مناسب. عانيت كثيرا ومرضت من التهاب الكبد A في هذه الخيمة حيث عانى جميع أفراد عائلتي من الأنفلونزا وأمراض الأمعاء والتهاب الكبد A بسبب نقص الطعام الجيد والمياه النظيفة.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>أثرت الحرب علي بشكل كبير، وكذلك حالتي الصحية ووالدي، الذي يعاني من مرض السكري وارتفاع ضغط الدم والعديد من السكتات الدماغية. أنا الآن في المرحلة الأخيرة من المدرسة الثانوية، أنتظر بفارغ الصبر إكمالها ومتابعة أحلامي مثل أي فتاة أخرى في العالم. لكن الحرب جاءت، ودمرت كل أحلامي وتطلعاتي، بما في ذلك منزلنا الدافئ الذي انتظرنا خمس سنوات لإكماله، وكان والدي قد رتب كل شيء لي، بما في ذلك حمام مناسب.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>آمل أن يتمكن الجميع من مساعدتي حتى أتمكن من الهروب مؤقتا من هذه الحرب الهمجية إلى مصر، لأنني بحاجة إلى مواصلة علاجي الطبي مع أخصائي بسبب نقص الأطباء المتخصصين، ويحتاج والدي إلى رعاية طبية أيضا. من فضلك ساعدني في الحفاظ على نفسي وعائلتي، ومواصلة حياتي، وتحقيق حلمي، وإعادة عائلتي وأنا إلى حياتنا العادية، آمل أن تساعدني وتتبرع لي، حتى مبلغ صغير، لأن هذا سيحدث فرقا. مساعدتك فقط هي التي ستحميني أنا وعائلتي. أشكركم جميعا من أعماق قلبي على التبرع وعلى قراءة قصتي.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>آمل أن أعيش حياة جميلة وطبيعية مثل أي شخص آخر. شكرا لك.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1- تغطية التكاليف الباهظة للمرور الآمن إلى مصر. سيتم استخدام الغالبية العظمى من الأموال لهذا الغرض، مع العلم أن تكلفة الذهاب إلى مصر للشخص الواحد تتراوح بين 5000 و6000 دولار، وتتكون عائلتي من عدد كبير. ليس لدي أي شيء على الإطلاق: لا منزل ولا مصدر رزق.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2- إعداد الأسرة بمكان مؤقت للإقامة في مصر، بينما يتم تحديد أفضل طريق إلى الأمام بالنسبة لهم
</div>

Helping Boshra overcome Muscular Dystrophy Disease

<div>Hi, my name is Marah Shamali  . I’m 24  years old, from Gaza, which has been under siege and war for as long as I can remember. I graduated from  Palestine university ,college of Dentistry since 2022.We’ve been under an ethnic cleansing genocide since October 7th, and the aggression has not stopped since then We're facing an inevitable threat of death from bombing, famine, and nonexistent healthcare, ourlives has Changed , forever.This aggression has transformed me from an ambitious person seeking a master's degree and pursuing a career outside Gaza to someone stuck under the constant threat of genocide.
Israel  airstrikes bombed Our home which transformed to "rubbles " with all our memories.(Pictures attached below)and now we are homeless.

My family and I have been displaced five times since the aggression.  We are now in tent  "refugee camp" that lacks the basic necessities of life: no bathroom 
no personal hygiene or water suitable for drinking or daily use! We are living in an open prison We are living our worst nightmare with our eyes open!


We are prone to being displaced again at any given moment, and there is no place to go!  there is no safe place.<span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';"> I seek your support , not just in thoughts and prayers but in actions.
I need to evacuate Gaza with my family of 4 members and start a new future from zero point.The area is deprived of the simplest means of life,Even after the ceasefire, rebuilding Gaza to make it livable again with the necessity to survive will be nearly impossible in the near future. 

We urge your support in facilitating the education and resettlement of one of the war-affected individuals from Gaza, where educational facilities and hospitals have been decimated by conflict. Your assistance can provide them with the opportunity to rebuild our lives outside the confines of Gaza, ensuring access to education and healthcare, essential for their well-being and future prospects.

You can offer hope and a fresh start to those most affected by the ravages of war. every dollar brings us one stop closer to survive.

Urgent: Gazan family seek evacuation For education

<div>I'm hoping you can help me help my dear friend, Ramy Z Tarazi, along with his 24-year-old wife Marina and their 15-month-old son Zohair. They urgently need to escape Gaza through the Rafah crossing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before the devastating conflict in Gaza, Ramy was a director at the Arab Orthodox Cultural and Social Centre. Since the 27th Oct 2023 , he has tirelessly supported both the Christian and Muslim communities in Gaza, providing whatever relief he could with essential medical supplies, earning him the gratitude of many. Sadly, the war has shattered Ramy's dreams. His home and workplace lie in ruins, and he now finds himself with nothing at all. He currently ‘lives’ at the Saint Porphyrios Orthodox Church in the war-torn town of Gaza City. Tragically, many of his loved ones have perished in the bombings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ramy's sole focus now is on securing the safety of his young family. He said to me via messenger this morning "I just need to save my son; we do not have enough milk or food for him." Their only hope lies in leaving Gaza, to seek refuge in a safer place.
</div>
<div>However, to make the journey is very expensive The cost of crossing the Rafah border amounts to $5,000 USD per person. For Rami's family of three, this means a total of $15,000 USD. Although Ramy once dreamed of building a prosperous future for his family and community in Gaza, this dreadful war has forced him to reconsider. His priority now is simply to ensure the safety of his family, and he believes leaving Gaza is the only viable option.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like me I’m sure many of you will have been appalled by what you are seeing and reading about Gaza but not know how to help. This fundraiser is an opportunity to directly support a young family . Please help me support Ramy escape Gaza so he can start to build a safer and better life for his family. His plans post escape are hazy – but he does have an Australia visa and may look to emigrate there – but for the moment all he can focus on is getting out and saving his son.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Marion Homer and I live in Stratford upon Avon, in the UK, I will raise the money in the Go Fund me account and then transfer to Ramy’s bank account using a a money transfer operation such as money gram or Western Union.
</div>
