Help Jihad and his family

Hello everyone,

I’m Hanan Alanqar, a divorced woman from the war-torn Gaza. I’m living with my brother, Jihad, who battles multiple chronic illnesses, along with his wife, Ola, and their ten-year-old son, Yousef. It’s my heartfelt commitment to care for Jihad, especially as he navigates these health challenges without much support. Together, we’re finding strength in each other amidst our struggles.

Jihad is a brave man facing unimaginable challenges at just 42 years old. He lives with multiple chronic illnesses, including High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, and Celiac Disease. Due to health complications, he has lost his eyesight, his kidneys have failed, requiring him to undergo dialysis three times a week, and due to osteoporosis, his legs were broken which left him unable to move.

Sadly, the war has only deepened our suffering. Our house was destroyed, forcing us to seek refuge in Southern Gaza. We now live in a tent, struggling to find stability and safety. Being the most vulnerable member of our family, Jihad's health has worsened under these inhumane conditions, as he needs special treatment and nutrition which are not available.

Without a source of income, Jihad can neither afford the costs of transportation for essential dialysis treatments nor provide for his family's basic needs. Hence, he relies on the generosity of compassionate people to help provide for his family.

Jihad urgently needs to travel abroad for critical medical treatment and to ensure the safety and survival of his family. Every moment that passes deepens his suffering and heightens the risks faced by his family. Unfortunately, due to ongoing war and border closure, people are forced to pay exorbitant fees to escape Gaza, with costs reaching as high as $10,000 per person.

You are kindly invited to support Jihad and his family. Your donation can truly change our lives and bring us hope during this incredibly difficult time.
