Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. Thank you all so much for all the attention and donations so far on the Shehab family's fundraiser, it's greatly appreciated. For those of you who are new and just learning about the Shehab family's fundraiser, I highly recommend reading Reem's post here where she shares her story (click here) and these posts (here and here) I have made about their fundraiser in the past which contain important messages from Reem that she shared. I have an important recent update (as of July 30, 2024) I wanted to share with you all from her (@monashehab):
(In case it gets cut off, please click the photo to read the full message.)
If it's alright to repeat what Reem said for emphasis: "The news circulating is that the border crossing with Egypt will open soon, and it is the only chance for us to leave Gaza and save my children and my family." As of July 30, 2024 (5:01 PM), the Shehab family's campaign is currently at โฌ27,440 of โฌ50,000.
According to their GoFundMe page: "The total cost to secure their departure is $40,000. This amount includes $5,000 per person for departure fees, which must be paid to an Egyptian side facilitating their safe passage Upon reaching their destination, they will require financial support to cover basic living expenses, including accommodation, food, transportation, and healthcare ." The Shehab family is a group of 8, so with the amount the fundraiser is currently at right now, they would only have enough funds to get 5 family members to safety. Let's help her save the other 3 family members, no one should get left behind!
This fundraiser has been vetted by @el-shab-hussein (proof) so please don't hesitate to donate if you're able to!
To anyone who sees this, if you all could spread the word about the Shehab familyโs campaign and especially donate if you're able to please, it would be appreciated very much!
Please reblog, share, repost this on other sites or on your blogs if you'd like to, please do whatever you can to bring attention to their fundraiser so that the family is able to get more donations and support so that they can reach their goal and get to safety!

To those I'm about to tag, if it's alright with you and if you're able to, would it be ok if I could hopefully get your help with spreading the word about this fundraiser please? Either way, thank you in advance for all that you do to help!:
