<div>My name is Mohammad. I am 23 years old and live in Gaza, Palestine, with my family of seven members. I was about to graduate as a successful engineer when my life took a drastic turn on October 7. Our family home was heavily damaged, and the university was damaged by bombings. Our lives have been turned upside down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, we have lost our dreams and are uncertain about our future. My dream was to graduate from university with a very good GPA, and I was very close to achieving that, with less than a semester left at Al-Azhar University. My brother Hassan was preparing for the final year of his secondary school, and my brother Mahmoud is in the third level at Al-Azhar University, specializing in psychological counselling. My siblings and I have lost a year of our lives, like all the children of Gaza who should have had the right to education.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have stopped thinking about our education; our thoughts are filled with worries about whether we will survive and what we will eat tomorrow. My father is unable to work now to provide us with a normal life, which everyone should have the right to.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our lives now lack water, electricity, food, or communications to know what is happening. We are raising money so that we can leave this dangerous situation and go to a safe place where we can get food and water. Even after the aggression stops, we will not be able to return to our normal lives, as even the universities did not escape the bombing. We want our right to learn and live a peaceful life without fear of constant attacks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We face extreme fear, hunger, and death. Any amount helps us so we can leave for a safer place. The money will be used to pay an agency in Egypt that is evacuating people from Gaza. They charge 5,000 per person. We will use the remaining funds for housing and necessities while we settle down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money will be used for us to evacuate via Egypt.
</div>
<div>6x adult fees: 5,000 x 6 = 30,000
</div>
<div>1x child fee: 3,000 x 1 = 3,000
</div>
<div>Plus accommodation while settling in and resuming our education.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family:
</div>
<div>Father / Saeed, 55 years old
</div>
<div>Mother / Manal, 46 years old
</div>
<div>Me / Mohammad, 23 years old
</div>
<div>My sister/ Nour, 24 years old

Help Mohammad's family evacuate from Gaza

<div>HI! My name is Aimee Cuadra! Here’s my story. CURRENTLY, I am going through TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawals). Since i was around 2 years old (according to my mom), I have dealt with eczema; an autoimmune related skin condition that so many of us deal with now, and have no idea where it comes from.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even though eczema is very common in people, we don’t all have it for the same reason. It is truly an invitation to explore your health, to experiment and do lots of A/B testing to find what works best for you. Everyone is different. UNFORTUNATELY, most of us (if not all) who go to see a dermatologist get prescribed a topical steroid….but very little of us are warned of the consequences of using this cream as a band-aid, instead of finding the root cause.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>THIS IS TSW. After learning the dire consequences of using topical steroids, my body is currently in the 1st month of withdrawals and I am beginning to face the harsh reality that, I need help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since I have entered withdrawals, it has been incredibly agonizing. My skin is COMPLETELY inflamed, dried out, cracked, covered with tiny bouts of pus from my head to my toes. I have extreme tightness in my whole body, and I am starting to experience so much pain and discomfort, it is becoming harder to function normally. I was teaching Yoga for the past 2 years, I have my own wellness business where my job is to constantly be in movement, and supporting others with their health and their joy. Going through this, has been somewhat disheartening to say the least…but I know there is an END to this process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, this is unbelievable, and I am in disbelief. TSW is SO much worse than eczema. I cannot believe this medication is prescribed the way that it is without PROPER warnings and INFORMATION. Truthfully, I don’t believe this medication should even be an option. We have a much larger problem at hand, and its that our healthcare providers are not CARING enough to walk us through figuring out what is going on, and instead prescribing medication as the solution to everything. TSW can take anywhere from months to years to heal from, depending on many factors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-HERE ARE MY GOALS IN HOW TO USE THE FUNDING-
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-I am gathering a team of healthcare professionals (primary doctor, holistic practitioner, endocrinologist, etc) in order to have them AWARE of my body’s condition and what I am going through, and they can support me as i journey through my self healing. This money will pay for all their services and whatever exams/bloodwork/etc I need to have done.
</div>
<div>-I am looking into staying at either a clinic/spa that specializes in these conditions either in France or Japan. I am doing more research to really be sure. I want to be SO careful with my body. It’s in a very sensitive state. So far in France I found this clinic centrethermalavene.com where they offer hydrotherapy service that requires a 3 week commitment.
</div>
<div>-the money will cover cost of flight, the services at the clinic, the time i am there, and any other services they may need me to do.
</div>
<div>-I am looking into revamping ALL my home products, I need to invest in clothing made with COTTON, SILKS, LINENS, etc. (It’s crazy how much of our clothing is made with terrible material)
</div>
<div>-I will be unable to work….I am already out of work and searching for a remote job as soon as I can. However in this time, I need so much help with my bills, my body needs to heal…anything helps.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am so grateful to all the amazing people who have donated!!! After learning more information on reservations, I've learned I can possibly go sooner than planned! I really plan on working ASAP remotely, so I wanna closeout this GoFundMe. It's been a weird trip in my psyche having this up!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Much Love to you all!!!!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I truly believe I am here to share and HELP with so much love. I have to go through this, and I will only come out so much stronger on the other side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you friends :)
</div>
<div>I’ll be updating as I continue into withdrawals! This is me at 1 month in.

Humanity has reached a tipping point.  Our consumptive and destructive impact on the planet has culminated in a great extinction event.  The failure of government and media organizations to bring attention to the chronic disease epidemics that remain the real threat to global health is demanding new direct to consumer education avenues.  <br /><br />I see the opportunity to build a research and communication team to bring scientific research to the public through a new lens of regenerative health and food systems. <br /><br />As a connected community, I believe we can innovate through an informed and co-creative process for the healing of land and peoples.  <br /><br />Your contributions to this mission will enable the hire of a dedicated research and publishing team to bring frequent content to you and this growing community of concerned and informed individuals.

My name is Alexandra Roman and I am from Miami, Florida.  On October 27th, 2017,  my sister Becky, her husband Danny and their family experienced something heartbreaking. Their house was burned down by accident in Gainesville, FL and they lost everything in their home, including their two beloved dogs, Luna and Biggie. This has affected us all. I started this campaign to raise money for them so they can get back on their feet and start brand new. The money will be used for basic necessities, including food, clothes, shelter,  furniture, and basic house essentials. My sister, Rebecca Costa, and her husband, Daniel Costa, will be the beneficiaries<br /> of this account. . Our family needs help and any little thing you can donate would mean the world!Thank you so much guys and keep them in your prayers.<br /><img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/24968456_1509163968.5968_funddescription.jpg" alt="24968456_1509163968.5968_funddescription" width="100%" /><br /><img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/24968456_1509163988.0304_funddescription.jpg" alt="24968456_1509163988.0304_funddescription" width="100%" />
