Trapped family in Gaza appeals for help to survive
I’m a mother of a 2-year-old child. His name is yousef… I see my son growing up in front of me and I do not know how or when. This is not what I wished for him. I was dreaming of a wonderful life to spend with him…a life not full of death, fear, destruction and deprivation…I wanted to fill his room with toys and his closet with clothes, and I wanted to buy children’s books for him, but I couldn’t…the war came and the wishes were gone…my goal became to provide him with milk and food. I can barely afford anything. Everything is expensive and we no longer have income to enable us to buy his needs. Kram eggs have been deprived of many of his basic needs. He has been deprived of safety and stability..No, fruits, or meat.
There is nothing but fear that fills my son’s eyes as soon as he hears the voices around him. He does not realize what It happens outside, but he feels and sees it in our eyes when he looks at us.I cannot protect myself and my son. Help me to save my son yousef. He deserves a better life, as do all the children of Gaza and the world. Alone, I cannot, but with your help, we will be able to find a safe place and a better future for my son. Be a reason to change a child’s life for the better by visiting our link on GoFundMe. And donate anything to us, no matter how small…every dollar makes a difference and give a life for my son..
I am Youssef. I was very young at the beginning of the war, but now I have grown up and can walk and know how to speak and understand everything. I hope to get your help in publishing or donating on our Aaljo Fund Me account
The most difficult decision for us was to leave our country, to leave Gaza, overcome the obstacles we faced and the losses we suffered, and begin a new life from scratch.
My name is Yahya from Gaza, I am 20 years old, a student in the Faculty of Pharmacy. I had ambitions and dreams and I was living a happy life with my family in our simple home, but something like a nightmare happened. The war came and took all our dreams and destroyed our home. Our lives became very difficult and arduous. We were living in tents in the extreme heat. My father suffers from chronic diseases, heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, and a defect in two cartilages in his back and a cartilage in his neck. My little brother suffers from visual acuity, which means very weak eyesight. Help me save my sick family, my father and brother. I ask for your support and participation. A small donation makes a difference. Thank you all 🙏♥️
I have grown increasingly horrified over the past two days seeing donations slowly stagnate and then stop entirely, often for hours. I had originally thought this campaign is better to promote in piecemeal, so we can evacuate children first. But I guess this was phrased as if this wasn’t an urgent campaign, and I have failed Shaima and Muhammad, their spouses, and their children.
This is not a campaign that we can afford to wait for weeks to complete. A few hours ago today (August 2), the iof launched another series of targeted airstrikes at civilian camps near Khan Younis, bombing three separate neighborhoods. At least 9 people are martyred, numbers expected to rise as reports come in.
The iof has a habit of targeting children, a trauma surgeon from a field hospital in Khan Younis reported operating on more children with gunshot wounds to the head and chest than he could count in a lifetime. There are 10 children in this family. Please do not only be mobilized by tragedy.
We need to get to the full $80,000 goal as soon as possible. I hoped we can raise the funds to evacuate at least four of the children by the end of this week, which means we need to raise a total of $12,500. Please help Wafaa and the family in this endeavor.
I could tell you that Hala agency is now charging anyone above the age of 16 (and even when Wafaa negotiated with them last, 15 year olds who may turn 16 when they are evacuated) as ADULTS, which means 7 of the children in this family are charged as adults because of sheer corporate greed.
I could tell you that Malak is a great artist, and her family hopes that she could go to art school and use her expression to share the beauty of Palestine across the world. I could tell you that Salma is empathetic to a fault, who would feel the pain of her siblings and her friends more acutely than anyone. I could tell you that Yazid had already made plans to marry his girlfriend, and both of them had gotten their wedding clothes tailored, their wedding guests invited. I could tell you that Shaima loves horseback riding, and loved the way wind moved around her and on her skin.
Please help this family. I have run out of words to say and plead you make a difference today. I want more people to stand up for this family, and right now there are none.
The last donations were from 20 minutes ago, and we’ve only gotten 3 donations in the past hour. We need to raise at least $9,000 by the end of day if we are to try to evacuate at least four children with Wafaa’s family. Donate what you can now for the safety and future of this family.
$7,279 raised of $9,000 goal as of August 2 morning. We have $1,721 left to raise.
Today Malak contacted me and she was sad and crying and begging me to put all my strength into getting her out to Egypt and to end this fierce war and the torment that they go through every day. Therefore, I beg of you to provide support with a donation for them so that they can go out to Egypt safely.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please, today I want my campaign to reach $9,500 and make the children’s hearts happy, you are their hope🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏
$8,004 out of $9,500 daily goal
please aid this family, time is running out!!!! these children are at SEVERE RISK of diseases running rampant in gaza. the sewage system has been destroyed by israel and any water found is contaminated and not drinkable. TIME IS RUNNING OUT, PLEASE SUPPORT THIS CAMPAIGN!!!
There is not much time left to reach the goal to save the children of Muhammad and Shaima. They are in a bad and dangerous situation, and there is no longer a safe place. Gunfire has become random everywhere, and this causes great danger to them. They are exposed to scenes of death every day. Please, donors who are able to donate, save these children. The goal. To save them first, because they cannot bear the deterioration of the situation. Please donate so we can reach the goal of 9,500 today. There is not much left, only $1,500. 🥺🥺🥺🙏
Some people are baffled by the concept that there really are people who actually like children but don’t want any of their own. “Childfree” doesn’t automatically mean someone who simply hates children. The thing is, I do like kids, and I will absolutely not compromise on my stance that each and every child deserves to grow up in a safe, stable and supportive environment. I also know that I get aggressive if I’m constantly sleep-deprived or overstimulated. People generally don’t regard me as someone capable of violence, but if I can’t get 15 minutes of silence each day and at least 5 hours of sleep every night, I will start throwing things. And I know kids won’t let you have that. Ever.
Kids deserve to grow up feeling safe and cherished, unafraid to express themselves and without worry that they’re unwelcome or unwanted. And that’s why they should be doing that somewhere else than in my fucking house.
